Description
I'm not sure if this is the set up I have or a bug? When authenticated users who have "edit author" permissions set the "Authored by" field blank, it breaks all kinds of node values. If you look in the database, the node will be set to "0", but will no longer have a title, or a type. This leaves the node essentially hidden even from administrators. I added an additional validate statement to disallow blank values in the author field, which solves the short term problem.
Can someone confirm if this is in fact a bug with this module or if it has something to do with other modules I have?
#1
Has anyone else confirmed this bug? It seems rather critical, especially when you see the work it does on the database. I would be cautious about using until resolved.
