[Bug 1499150] [NEW] Anonymous author link not working

 

Public bug reported:

Now that we load some blocks via ajax the 'Allow anonymous pages' is not
working right

When you are an admin and a user has made their page have anonymous
author you see a link with ' (Author's name hidden) ' instead of name.
On clicking that link it should show you the actual name, but it
doesn't.

Things broken:

1) The js is not working for the ' (Author's name hidden) ' links when
block loaded via ajax

2) The js is not working right if there are two blocks on a page showing
pages with author = ' (Author's name hidden) ' as each one sets an id to
use from a loop and so the id's are doubled.

The way this was implemented for the templates was a bit overblown.

Instead of trying to assign the index via the parent template then
declare it in author.tpl and also include the author.js via the smarty,
we can just do a js snippet in the author.tpl and call get_random_key()
instead.

This way things are easier to understand and the js will function with
ajax load
