How to Change Comment Header

Vote 0 Votes

Hi--

I'm new to working with MT. I've had to learn a lot real quick. Here's my question. In the comment header (shown in the Comment Detail Template), I want to change what's written for the $MTCommentAuthorIdentity$ variable if it matches my login name.

I want to do this to protect my identity. Instead of having it say my first and last name, I want it just to be my first name.

Somehow, I'd like to say if $MTCommentAuthorIdentity$="My FullName" then $MTCommentAuthorIdentity$="My". Possible?

Thanks so much,

Paul

    I should say that I know I can do this by actually changing my name in MT. But this would, I think, effect my other blogs (which I don't want). This needs to be a blog-specific fix.

    Actually, I mean that then I won't be able to just login as Admin and deal with all my blogs under one username. I would have to logout and login to a new user. I want to avoid that if possible. That's the solution I've adopted for now, but I'd like to be able to rewrite the MTCommentAuthorIdentity variable.

  • Write some markup based on:

    <mt:If tag="MTCommentAuthorIdentity" eq="YOURNAMEHERE"> to do a conditional statement there.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
