    uBlogsy - About The Author Widget

    uBlogsy can have an Athour set as Default if no Author is named on the post.

    What I'd like to do is a 'User' logs in and when creating a post it uses their Name plus a Description about themselves. You can't add Properties to Users though so we couldn't add a Simple Editor for the description for each user.

    We could change Author to Post Creator possibly, but again, its the description that looks like its not possible.

    Has anyone built something similar or have a solution? Don't want to have to add Author Description on every single post.

    uBlogsy does have a default author... you can set it in the landing node.... i'm considering moving this to the author container.

    Regarding the author description... you can add a property to the author nodes...if it's called description, then you can edit the author widget to spit it out 

    If you want the current logged in editor/admin to have their user info populated into an author then that's another story.... the easiest thing to do is create an author node and have that person select themselves.

    if you want to do this automatically then you'll have to play around with the event hooks. It is probably more time than it's worth.
