New post shortname based on date

[anonymous]

It's not useful that new post's default shortname fixed with "change_this_post_shortname". I guess default shortname based on date.

I must agree with this enhancement.

I think it could possibly be useful to have the user name in there somewhere too - this would be useful if multiple users are going to be posting heavily to the same Trac blog.

Well, in [3906] I've done what you requested - and then some more :-)

I'm going to close this ticket with that change, and please open a new ticket if you discover issues with the new features.

Enjoy!

Is there a way to add the time at the end of shortname field automatically ie " $USER-%Y/%m/%d/TIME ". I wanted to act as a random number sort of.

Nevermind, for anyone who is curions, it is %T that's a capital!!!

Good thinking. Need to reopen to close the the ticket again as 'fixed'.
