I didn’t first associate my trouble with the installation
of this module but with a bit of investigation, I was able to determine that the reason I wasn’t seeing these values anymore
was because they no longer existed.

Whipped clean from my DB. The thing is, I’ve not performed any queries to removed these values. The comment entries
are still present and the input data still exists. It’s just the info associated with the comment entry author that no longer
exists for these entries.

My new tests of the commenting system are registering the author information. Is it possible that the initial installation process
of this Module could have blown away that info?

I’ve gone so far as to un-install the module and extension and re-install after observing successful tests to see if that process
would cause the removal of that data. This time, the data was not removed.

Any insight?

hothousegraphix,

I’m assuming you’re using the latest version of User (1.3.2)?
I’ll have Mitchell stop by this post.

Thank you for your patience smile

PieMan,

Can you reproduce this bug on our test site? Sure sounds odd. User should have no influence on the comment entries unless it’s being invoked on that template.

It seems that all my new tests register the author data. I suppose my only concern at this point would be if I were to need to perform a test that
called for removing this module then reinstalling, and that that process would cause this to occur again.

With that said, I’ve tested this theory myself a number of times and not been able to re-create this problem.

I’m only guessing that the cause of this was the Module installation because it’s the only major change I’ve performed lately that could have this type of effect.
I suppose this is a perfect storm situation and I will not be able to recreate the symptoms I’ve observed.

If I do see something out of the ordinary, I will post back.

Thanks.

As I think on it, I can’t imagine what the install would do to affect your comments. That’s like me flapping my butterfly wings and causing a hurricane in Bangladesh.

Hi,

I’m having similar problems. New comments show the author name OK, however when I edit a member’s profile the author name is removed from the associated comments.

The edit profile template contains the following code:-

{exp:user:edit}

<h1 id="profile_title">{screen_name}</h1>

<label>Title</label><input name="occupation" value="{occupation}" />

<label>Location</label><input name="location" value="{location}" />

<label>Email</label><input name="email" value="{email}" />

<label>Password</label><input type="password" name="password" value="" />
<label>Password Confirm</label><input type="password" name="password_confirm" value="" />
<label>Current Password</label><input type="password" name="current_password" value="" />

<label>Photo:</label>
<img class="profile_photo" src="{photo_url}{photo_filename}" width="{photo_width}" height="{photo_height}" />
<input type="file" name="photo_filename" />

<input type="submit" class="submit_button" value="Submit" />

{/exp:user:edit}

As you can see I’m only allowing users to edit a small subset of their profiles, could I be missing some necessary fields in my edit template?

Regards,

Kevin.

Hi again,

I’ve solved the problem by putting “screen_name” as a hidden field in the template. This stopped the module replacing the comments author name with a blank value.
