[Bug 548021] Re: Option to not have a display name on Views
I'm not comfortable with this patch, because it allows users to create
anonymous pages (i.e. pages where a normal user visiting the page cannot
tell who authored the page). And anonymous content creation is not
something that should be entered into lightly.
There's actually never a case where the profile link does nothing. If
the visitor is logged-in, a private profile shows information about the
profile owner, i.e. "send a message", "request friend", etc. If the
visitor is logged-out, clicking on a private profile link redirects them
to the transient login page, the same as any other attempt to view a
page that is inaccessible to a logged-out user.
What's the use-case for hiding the author line? If there's a compelling
use-case for it, then I'd say we can keep this but we should add a
config setting that makes it disabled by default. If there is not a
compelling use-case, we should revert the patch.

Title:
Option to not have a display name on Views
Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
In Progress
Bug description:
Currently all views show a display name. It would be good to have an
option to just have a view title without 'by display name'.
