    Posted by jinglesnbells posts: 45

    On the page that lists the blogs, in the table, the column that shows the user....is it possible to show just the user who created the blog? I added a post to one of the blogs and my avatar and info showed under the user column for that blog.

    Is there a way around this. I know I can delete that column - don't really want to though. I want the user column to show the information of the person who created the column and not of the person who last made a change. It also changed the "created by...." name to my username instead of the person who created it. So it looks like I created the blog instead of the other user.

    Thanks in advance!

    There seems to be just one database table column to store every username that posts in a given blog, so there's no way to distinguish the blog creator from others who post in the blog.

    This looks like a bug, or design flaw, to me too, especially since the blog creator changes when somebody new posts, which definitely misrepresents things. A bug report should be filed at dev.tikiwiki.org. In the meantime, as far as I know, the only solution is to not let people other than the creator post in each blog, or to tolerate the added names.

    Looks like it works correctly in 1.10 (or at least on my Tiki). Notice that in this blog, the "Created by" (in the right column) is different than the last post name.


    HTH,
