Hi,

in the serendipity config, I can choose to change the permalink for authors to something that includes the fields %username%, %realname% etc.

The default is %id%-%realname%.

When I set this to %realname%, everything works fine.

However, when I set this to %username%, something is wrong. I can go to the correct url, i.e. /authors/ivo shows my blog entries. However, in the blog, the author link that links to this page, is /authors/Ivo%20Jansch instead of /authors/ivo, leading to a page that displays no entries.

Is there a fix for this? I'm using s9y 1.0.2

Hi!

Thanks a lot for this report! Since the 1.0 version line is soon getting replaced by 1.1, I have only patched the bug for the 1.1 SVN branch.

If you know how to apply a patch, here are the modifications:

The fix works fine, thanks for the quick reply

I'm now facing another issue, let's hope that is resolved as quickly too.
