GM 1.6.1 Won't Preview/Post unless Protect Author
« Thread Started on Dec 12, 2006, 10:44pm »

Versions Affected: GreyMatter 1.6.1
Severity: Minor (loss of major functionality, but no code change fix)
Issue Description: When posters Preview a comment and then attempt to post it, GM will report an error that several fields were not filled in.

Resolution: To fix this defect without modifying the code, simply make sure the 'Protect Author Name' option is set to Yes in the Configurations Screen.

To fix the code, modify the gm-comments.cgi file. Around line 310.
From:

Code:
$previewcommentauthor = $IN{'newcommentauthor_org'};

To:

Code:
$previewcommentauthor = $IN{'newcommentauthor'};
if( $protectauthorname eq Gm_Constants::YES ){
$previewcommentauthor = $IN{'newcommentauthor_org'};
}

This will be fixed in GM 1.7.1
