author and authorid in serendipity_entries

Post by stm999999999 »

Hello,

in the table serendipity_entries there is the id of the author (authorid) AND the name (author). Why?

When I change the username of an author, the author-field in _entries did not change.
Ciao, Stephan

Hi!

This was used in the past to prevent additional database lookups to other tables. Indeed we should adjust the author field of entries when changing the authorname, yes!

Best regards
