Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 7, 20231 yr If I want to switch authors to anonymous in Blog Entries, there is not any setting for this. I can do it only via SQL Query UPDATE blog_entries SET entry_is_anon = 1; Would be possible add feature for this?
September 7, 20231 yr Community Expert If you edit the blog in the ACP, there is a setting at the bottom of the edit page. Or if you click "Manage blog>Edit blog" on the front end, you can set it there also. Note, you are setting to allow people to post anonymously. There is no such way to force people to post anonymously
September 7, 20231 yr Community Expert As the blog belongs to someone, it wouldn’t make sense to allow anonymous entries. You can allow people to comment anonymously.
September 7, 20231 yr Community Expert There are also group blogs. Allowing anonymous entries there would make more sense there. But yeah, for single blogs it's a useless option.
September 7, 20231 yr Author We have group blogs, but when I create a new entry, there is name of our company employee. 4 hours ago, Marc Stridgen said: If you edit the blog in the ACP, there is a setting at the bottom of the edit page. Or if you click "Manage blog>Edit blog" on the front end, you can set it there also. I remember it was there. But is there something wrong? Where is it? And another thing, there is not option for date when I want to publish the entry when I edit it. Only when I start new entry Edited September 7, 20231 yr by ExoTech
September 7, 20231 yr Community Expert In blogs, you can anonymize only comments, not entries. That's how it is by design. You can probably suggest in entries: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/499-feedback/
September 7, 20231 yr Author But this feature was available in previous versions and for some reasons has been removed. Then why would there be an entry_is_anon column in the table database?
September 7, 20231 yr Community Expert Are you sure? I'm just guessing as I never used it in Blogs. Edited September 7, 20231 yr by Adriano Faria

Your topic is related to blogs 16 hours ago, ExoTech said: Anyway, why in SQL database is then column entry_is_anon? This is not something I am able to answer as I dont develop the software personally. One of our devs may be able to answer that question, but in all honesty, if you are not sure how to look, its probably best not to be playing in the database directly
