txp:comment_name is returning "member-list" in older comments
What the title suggests:
In older comments the <code><txp:comment_name /></code> tag is returning “member-list” instead of the name of the commenter. Did something occur to in upgrade to create this problem or is this a bug?
I appologize if this is a post that should go in troubleshooting, or under the 4.02 announcement.
If it is in the wrong place please move it.
Thank you,
Matthew

I’m not seeing a problem Matthew. What’s this member-list? Is it to do with a plug-in? If so I would suggest it’s the plug-in causing the problem.

Stuart,
see here
look at the names output in the comments. The first one there outputs the name “member-list”, the others, added since the upgrade to 4.02 output the name of the commenter, in this case me.
Could my tables in the db have been messed up?
Thanks Stuart,
Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough in the last post,
Matthew

As I say I’m not seeing this on thebombsite at all. So now I’m clutching at straws. You haven’t perchance changed your login since that first comment and erased an old one?

No, no change.
I guess I thought it might be something that was out of my league of understanding?
This one goes over my head?
in fact searching forum, using normal search and a google search, I can’t find “member-list” anywhere but in this post?
Here is my form (for what its worth):
<code>
<div class=“comment”>
<div class=“nametime”>
<div class=“commentnum”>
<txp:comment_permlink><txp:ajw_comment_num /></txp:comment_permlink>
</div><!— close commentnum —>
<h2 class=“commentname”> <i><txp:comment_name /> | </i> on <txp:comment_time /> wrote: </h2>
<div class=“gravspace”> <txp:glx_gravatar size=“35” default=“http://www.artiswork.org/images/52.gif” class=“gravatar” /> </div><!— close gravspace—>
<div class=“commentpost”> <txp:message /> </div><!— close commentpost —>
</div><!— close nametime —>
</div><!— close comment —>
</code>

That’s why I was curious about “member-list”. If you go to the comments tab in admin how does it display there? Is this the only comment that does it?

Good question.
I assumed it was happening with others, but its not. I guess I will erase that comment, as my site is still “under construction” it doesn’t especially matter.
Hmm. I’m still stumped though.
I noticed the styling on my new comments is different too, I guess that has to do with the new wrap tags?
Cheers Stuart,

Yep, comments are wrapped in “p” tags now instead of the old “br,br” breaks. As for your comment_name problem I’m totally stumped. Don’t know if one of the Devs can think of a reason for it.

Re: txp:comment_name is returning "member-list" in older comments
Assuming txp really is displaying what’s stored in the comment, here’s an obvious but necessary question: are you certain the comment didn’t contain that name in the first place? It seems like an unlikely typing error, but I could imagine a copy-past error, or an overeager auto-complete feature.
