On , DEV Community member Meg Gutshall joined @coffeecraftcode and me on the pairing stream to work on an issue in regard to the link liquid tag.
Liquid Tags does not respect company avatar
#11880
Describe the bug
When using liquid tags on a post that was published under an organization it shows the users avatar.
To Reproduce
- Create a post under an organization
- Add it as liquid tag into a comment or another post
- The avatar displayed will be the poster's.
Expected behavior
Everywhere the way a organization post's avatar is the organization's avatar and in small the poster's avatar (notification, dashboard, homepage).
When using the liquid tags it should show the avatar in the same way
Screenshots
Organizaiton's post avatar:
On the homepage the avatar is the same style:

Description
This was part of the Live Code Pairing series with @nickytonline and @cmgorton. For this stream we worked on fixing the way avatars appear in liquid tag links when a post is written by a user, but under an organization account. The avatar was not rendering as displayed on the front page, it was only showing the user's avatar.

This is what we were looking for on the Liquid tags:
This is the issue that we were seeing:
Here is the fix:
Here's an alternate with the author pointing solely to the organization:
UI accessibility concerns?
The images still retain alt tags and they're both wrapped in the hyperlink that will redirect to the article's author.
Added tests?
- [ ] Yes
- [x] No, and this is why: The existing tests would need a decent amount of work to get to the granularity needed to actually test if this feature was working and I don't have that kind of time right now.
- [ ] I need help with writing tests

- [ ] I'm not sure how best to communicate this change and need help
- [ ] This change does not need to be communicated, and this is why not: please replace this line with details on why this change doesn't need to be shared
