Firetroll noted a problem HERE and I'm having the same issue:

1. Quote:
For instance, with News 1.3.11 all new posts are by "Anonymous" regardless of whether or not you specify a user.


2. The only users listed in the author dropdown menu are Anonymous and Webmaster.

3. Trying to edit an article date won't save.

I was having the same problem where it was showing "Anonymous" no matter who I specified as user. I'm not sure if this will help you, but check and make sure your "Real Name" is filled out on your profile.

Once I put in my "Real Name" for my profile, it displayed my real name. I don't like that it displays my real name, I would much prefer it to show my "Displayname", but one problem at a time. I also noticed (wf-downloads) does this too as it display the user's "Real Name" for the submitter.

I am sure there is quick fix for this, but I am not sure where I would change (username) for (Displayname)in both these modules.

Not to change the subject, but are you also getting a date of 1970/1/1 for the date posted? Still haven't figured out that one yet. But I know that was a problem when I first tried out the XOOPS 2.2rc. I may have to uninstall news 1.3.11 and try reinstalling to see if it fixes this.

Any ideas anyone?

You can change it from your real name to user name in the module preferences.

Author's name is about 6 down in News 1.3.11.

Yes, it is pulling the "Real Name" for the author.

Date seems to work fine.

Anyone know how to fix this author issue?

Thanks Duke_Henry for the info on the Module Preference. I did see that, but whether I click on "Real Name", "Username" or "Do Not Display Author", it still shows the "Real Name".

That is why I am thinking I may have to do a reinstall to get the date format and the author working right.

Despite setting the "Real Name", "Username" or it still shows the "Real Name" field. The "Do Not Display Author" setting works...

Darn, sorry to be of little help.

I can tell you that from my install of 1.3.1 and update to 1.3.11 on a fresh XOOPS 2.2, the name issue and posting information issue is not a problem.

I know that doesn't help either...

:(

You are right. News 1.3.11 wants to use the login name in place where it should use the display name (it is new feature in XOOPS 2.2 to have a separate login and displayname). That doesn't work, so it gets an empty string in return, so it fall back on real name.

BUT:

I fixed it , in news/class/class.newsstory.php replace

Quote:
switch($option) {
case 1: // Username
$tblusers[$uid]=XoopsUser::getUnameFromId($uid);
return $tblusers[$uid];


by this:

Quote:
switch($option) {
case 1: // Displayname
$member_handler =& xoops_gethandler('member');
$thisuser = $member_handler->getUser($uid);
$return=$thisuser->getVar('uname');
$tblusers[$uid]=$return;
return $tblusers[$uid];


You can find it around line 680
