How to call the authorbox in PHP

Hey Squirrly,

works perfect and my 5-star-rating is online ??

shit, another question:

I used your code with a variable, because I have more than one author. The code looks like this

<?php echo starBoxShow( the_author_ID() ); ?>

But now, the UserID is shown above the starbox. The box works correct, but the ID above … its not so beautiful ?? and every reader asks himself: for what is the number?

How can I hide the userID? or is there any other way to get the user-id for multiple authors?

Hey,

the_author_ID is a display function not a return one and is also a deprecate one so don’t use it.

Please use it like:

<?php
global $post;
$author = get_userdata($post->post_author);

echo starBoxShow( $author->ID ); ?>

nice, now I am absolutely satisfied ?? thanks a lot!

But i’ve 2 problem:
1- i have author box naturally by my theme and the background is dark blue what makes author box not looks good.
2- i still have starbox box under my content (upper of my native author box).

How can i fix these??
Thanks.
