1) With the configuration below, I can't set the Author attribute to be the author of the reply. As written, it gives the Author field as blank. If the Remove on Reply line is removed, it is set to the parent's author. What am I doing wrong?


Hey, elog made it to MiniBooNE! I'm working on MEG...

What you need is the following:
Preset on reply subject = Re: $subject
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on Reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

The Subst statements work after the entry gets submitted, while the preset statements work before. So Preset on Reply <attribute> is what you need.


Depending of what your paranoia level is Smile
Substitute is the only way I have to be assure it is as I want ... yes, in real life nobody of my users will never try to change the generated HTML ad replace by hand the Author, but ... Tongue
