It is a good way for my blog to insert a fix boxstyle to the end of each post. So there is more recurring action for my readers.
I will use the boxstyle to list the useful links for example.
In which way I can insert it in which sript?
Do you have a code snippet for me?

function addbox($content){ return $content . bfpage_func(array('name' => 'infobox')); }
if (is_single()) add_filter( "the_content", "addbox" );
this adds a page called infobox at the end of every post. add it in functions.php in the childtheme. have not tested it, just coded it here and now...more can be done to it, like checking for category etc.
Hi Roger,
I have to say that I am also interested in this. I tried your advice, but still without the effect.
I have copied the code to the bottom of the functions.php (BFWide child theme), and created the page called infobox with some nfo text. But nothing happens. Have I missed something or badly understand? =]
Would you be so kind please and write some FAQ for that? Or have you considered the implementation to the next BF version update?
Thank you for your response, take care.
Regards,
Jan

well, I did not test the code, I should have...because it did not work. anyway here's the working code:
function addbox($content){
if (is_single()) return $content . bfpage_func(array('name' => 'infobox'));
else return $content;
}
add_filter( "the_content", "addbox" );

and here's an example infobox (that can be copied to the infobox page and altered):
<div class="box">
<h6>Sed mauris lorem</h6>
<ul class="pointerlist mb0">
<li>venenatis ut, lacinia ut</li>
<li>Maecenas pede metus, ultricies non</li>
<li>Curabitur dapibus vulputate nibh.</li>
<li>Quisque eget lectus ut ipsum luctus facilisis.</li>
</ul>
</div>Thanks a lot for quick response. Gonna try it, feedback later.
Feedback about the author box:
Everything works just fine. Thank you once again.
Best regards.
DJ Tukancheez, could you elaborate on how you managed to build a dynamic author-box with the description above.
As I understand the code above generates a static page-content which is added below the_content of the single.php. I like this idea, as I do not have to mess around with the single.php and should it be updated in a further release, I do not have to rewrite the entire code. But this solution above just generates a page which outputs static html. get_avatar etc. is not working, as for the author box it requires php and the the tags from wordpress.
Sure that won't be a problem:
1.) I have added the code like is shown on the picture (black box around it) into the functions.php of the child theme (BFWide, BFNav) Than I have overwritten the original file by uploading it to own hosting server (via FTP)(Do not forget to create a backup of that file firstly). The picture says probably more:
2.) I have created page called "infobox" and write the "example infobox" code that vfxdude (thanks) has posted here. I have little bit edited it into this form:
<div class="box">
<h6>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</h6>
<ul class="pointerlist mb0"> <*img class="alignleft" src="http://yourlinktothepicture.jpg" alt="" width="92" height="92" /><*li>Hi! I'm Jan, more known as DJ Tukancheez or Tuki.<*/li>
<*li>I'm a student, mix producer, mixfan and the blogger.<*/li>
<*li><*/li>
<*li> Please help me to spread my own mixes, by following my person on Twitter @tukancheez. Thank you !</*li>
<*/ul>
</div>
PLEASE REMEMBER, ALL "*" (stars) INSIDE THIS CODE NEEDS TO BE DELETED!
(picture of you is aligned to the left, like the code says)
THE RESULT:
The points of the li tag are hidden behind the image, thats why it looks on my page, how it looks like.
Hope it helps you.
P.S. I hope the post will be shown correctly? Ahhh, after 10th edit it is O.K. =]

here's how to get dynamic author info:
function authorinfo($content){
global $post;
$html = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $post->post_author);
if (is_single()) return $content . '<div class="box">'.$html.'</div>';
else return $content;
}
add_filter( "the_content", "authorinfo" );more parameters for get_the_author_meta can be found here.
I will add this functionality in version 1.4, but it might be some time b4 that one is out.
Dj Tukancheez, that's a nice author box, thanks for sharing. The one in 1.4 will probably be something like that, but with the possibility to add/remove meta info in the theme settings.
Thanks alot vfxdude!
I believe, that my small tutorial, could possibly help the others to add the author box into their own blogs.
BTW:
I am looking forward to the official implementation of this, inside the 1.4 release.
Thanks for the possibility to make it happen before it. Appreciated!

Barandum: 3-6 months. There will be other versions (and new themes) b4 that one. Actually a new version was added today. Fixing bugs, fixing the compability with the multilingual plugin qtranslate and adding some cufon fonts (version 1.3.4.3).

the code above says nothing about using the bf_page widget or a custom template.
1. add this code to functions.php in a child theme:
function addbox(){ echo bfpage_func(array('name' => 'infobox')); }
add_action( 'bf_after_article', 'addbox', 1 );
2. create a page, add static html (the design and contents of the infobox).
3. call it infobox (same as on the code). Publish. That's it.
The new version will be out when it's finished. Now I'm spending most of my time answering questions, so maybe I should just stop that and code instead. It has also been Easter and I have not done anything with it for over a week. Much new stuff is also added to the list, so my estimate is 14 days.
