Small module modification - repost

Hello,

Currently I have a working module for Joomla 2.5 that can be downloaded freely by any Joomla user, however, I need to modify it a little to add a new function, that I think is almost done but I can't make it work (the rest of module is working fine) although in Joomla 1.5 this code was working, but in Joomla 2.5 it doesn't work.

Joomla 1.5 part of code that was working (this code was in [url removed, login to view] file): see attached file "[url removed, login to view]"

Joomla 2.5 part of code that doesn't work (This code is now in [url removed, login to view] file): see attached file "[url removed, login to view]"

The module, currently, only search images in Introtext of articles (above Read More line) to generate thumbnails, so if there is no image in article's Introtext but there is one below Read More line (known as Fulltext, I think), the module won't generate any thumbnail.

Then, I want the module to search images in Fulltext, so if there is an image into any part of article text (Above or below Read More line) it should create a thumbnail.

Also, I would want to fix a little problem: the module has the option to show the real name or the username of article's author, however it doesn't work properly. I would want if you select username, show the username even if the author hasen't written an alias when submitting the article (If he has written it, show it instead of username). Maybe this problem is on this part of code, in [url removed, login to view]:

if($show_author_type) {

$item->author = htmlspecialchars( $item->author );

} else {

if ( !empty( $item->created_by_alias ) ) {

$item->author = $item->created_by_alias;

}

I think this work can be done in less than an hour or two, if you are the right coder and can analize/write PHP Joomla code almost as good/quickly as writting in your native language.

The entire module is attached below, so if you want, you can see it a little before starting the project to ensure you can do it with my budget. Old Joomla 1.5 version of the module is attached too if you want to compare both.

Payment will be done through Paypal and Milestone system, so please, I would need to see new functions are 100% working.

MAXIMUM BUDGET is 10$ (USD) because it's almost all the money I have on my Paypal account, received from donations, and can't afford to spend more, sorry. So please, if you are going to ask for more, don't do it or will be ignored. I know my budget is limited, but it's my first time here and maybe, in a future, I could come back with you again and offer a little more after new donations on my site if your work was good. Apologizes.

Really thank you and best regards.
