I have updated Joomla 3.8 to 3.9 and then the user Written by author link is not working any more; it doesn't show any link to click on it, also the issue is on the plugins/content/contact/contact.php — when I replace it with the one of the 3.8 version, it shows the Written by author link ..

I have tested it with Protostar template but same issue ..

How can I solve this please?

And how can I override this file to the template?

This the code of the 3.8 version:

public function onContentPrepare($context, &$row, $params, $page = 0)

{

    $allowed_contexts = array('com_content.category', 'com_content.article', 'com_content.featured');



    if (!in_array($context, $allowed_contexts))

    {

        return true;

    }



    // Return if we don't have valid params or don't link the author

    if (!($params instanceof Registry) || !$params->get('link_author'))

    {

        return true;

    }



    // Return if we don't have a valid article id

    if (!isset($row->id) || !(int) $row->id)

    {

        return true;

    }



    $contact = $this->getContactId($row->created_by);

    $row->contactid = $contact->contactid;



    if ($row->contactid)

    {

        JLoader::register('ContactHelperRoute', JPATH_SITE . '/components/com_contact/helpers/route.php');

        $row->contact_link = JRoute::_(ContactHelperRoute::getContactRoute($contact->contactid . ':' . $contact->alias, $contact->catid));

    }

    else

    {

        $row->contact_link = '';

    }



    return true;

}

and this from Joomla 3.9:

    public function onContentPrepare($context, &$row, $params, $page = 0)

{

    $allowed_contexts = array('com_content.category', 'com_content.article', 'com_content.featured');



    if (!in_array($context, $allowed_contexts))

    {

        return true;

    }



    // Return if we don't have valid params or don't link the author

    if (!($params instanceof Registry) || !$params->get('link_author'))

    {

        return true;

    }



    // Return if an alias is used

    if ($this->params->get('link_to_alias') == 0 & $row->created_by_alias != '')

    {

        return true;

    }



    // Return if we don't have a valid article id

    if (!isset($row->id) || !(int) $row->id)

    {

        return true;

    }



    $contact = $this->getContactData($row->created_by);

    $row->contactid = $contact->contactid;

    $row->webpage = $contact->webpage;

    $row->email = $contact->email_to;



    if ($row->contactid && $this->params->get('url') == 'url')

    {

        JLoader::register('ContactHelperRoute', JPATH_SITE . '/components/com_contact/helpers/route.php');

        $row->contact_link = JRoute::_(ContactHelperRoute::getContactRoute($contact->contactid . ':' . $contact->alias, $contact->catid));

    }

    elseif ($row->webpage && $this->params->get('url') == 'webpage')

    {

        $row->contact_link = $row->webpage;

    }

    elseif ($row->email && $this->params->get('url') == 'email')

    {

        $row->contact_link = 'mailto:' . $row->email;

    }

    else

    {

        $row->contact_link = '';

    }



    return true;

}

thanks
