Introduction

Authors, Authoring & Content, Blog, Content infos

Elevate Joomla E-E-A-T with Crusco Author Bio Box. Multilingual bios, Author's Schema and Agentic Web Design to improve your site’s credibility.

Description

An author's biography is a crucial element of any blog, news site, or magazine. However, Joomla lacks native comprehensive management for this feature. Users must often resort to modifying core files or overriding views and templates, changes that are notoriously difficult to maintain across system updates.

Crusco Author Bio Box integrates seamlessly with Joomla's user management allowing you to manage author biographies, also in multiple languages, and display professional author biography boxes for your website articles. It builds trust with your readers and enhances your site's E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) by showcasing the people behind the content.

Main Features

SEO & Author Backlinks

A great opportunity for authors and guest bloggers to get quality backlinks. You can choose which authors can take advantage of this by enabling additional SEO/Accessibility options, such as DoFollow links.

Schema.org JSON-LD Support

It automatically integrates the author's information (photo, bio, job title, social media links, etc.) into the article's schema to help search engines correctly attribute content and recognize author authority.

It supports structured data generated by:
- Joomla's Schema.org
- Google Structured Data by Tassos.

Micro-Context for AI/LLM

Includes Agentic Web Design hidden directives specifically designed to help Large Language Models and AI crawlers better understand the author’s expertise and professional context.

Full Multilingual Support

Seamlessly handles author biographies in different languages, a core requirement for international Joomla websites.

Styled Social Media Icons

Supports 28 social media networks (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, GitHub, etc.) directly from user profile settings. You can standardize the color of social icons to best suit your website design.

Front-end Profile Editing

Authors can update their biography, image, job title, social links, etc. directly from the Joomla front-end user profile page, without needing backend access.

Flexible Placement

Beyond automatic insertion before or after content, use shortcodes or the dedicated module to display author bios anywhere in your template.

Built-in Templates

You can choose the structure from 7 presets and change the options (color, border, header, etc.).

Unique Custom Template System

A developer-friendly system that allows you to create custom templates by overriding the presets or inserting new ones with the simple use of HTML and CSS.

Category Management

Easily select which categories should display the author box.
