[Zope-CMF] Re: discussion_reply_form POST -> DiscussionItem creation prb

[Petri Savolainen]

Uhhh I have plone 1.x.x installed and did not realize Plone mucks with 
the default discussion machinery of CMF, fixing the Creator field.

There is a script buried in a skins subdirectory in which Plone 
hardcodes the Creator to authenticated member:

plone_scripts/form_scripts discussion_reply.py

Having gotten a bit frustrated after wasting an hour or two with this, I 
wonder why Plone needs to hardcode this? CMF does not afaik...

Just an oversight, maybe?

Thanks,

  Petri
