You need Preset on reply Author = $short_name . Subst is supposed to work after a submission, Preset before you open the edit mask. See this forum. If you reply to this entry, your name appears as the Author even if it's locked. Here is the config:
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset Author Email = $user_email
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author Email = $user_email
Locked Attributes = Author
The Subst can be used for your image category thing. So instead using
Display Category = $category <img src="icons/$category.png" border="0">
you can use
Subst Category = $category <img src="icons/$category.png" border="0">
which physically rewrites the category. This is probably not what you want, but take it as an example. We use it in one place to replace a user name by a link to our internal telephonbook searching for this username, so if one clicks on the user, one ends up in the user's telephonebook entry. |
