Setting YourName Globally

[Digital Doctor]

How can I define YourName once and for
all; so I don't have to keep resetting it, every
time I start a new tiddler.

Just when I think I have it set, I look up and
its undefined 'again'; like in this TW: http://digitaldr.org/template1.html

Thanks.

Put the following in a tiddler and tag it systemConfig

config.options.txtUserName = "Digital Doctor";

I attempted naming this tiddler DigitalDoctor,
UserName, (nothing at all); and still I get this
error:

Error: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal

Naming it zconfiguration would work best, because being invoked last
it would overwrite every option before it. Taken from Dawn:

Why you get this error is a mystery to me. It always worked for me.

Mystery indeed. Even zconfiguration didn't work.

Oh well. I'll stumble upon a solution.

The name of the tiddler doesn't make much of a difference in this case.
Tiddlers tagged as "systemConfig" are normally loaded in alphabetical
order, and those loaded last take precedence. So if your tiddler was
named "aaa", and some other plugin named "zzz" would alter the username,
the latter's changes would override your plugin.

Sounds like you forgot to close the quotes or something.
Let's try this again:
1. Create a tiddler, give it any name, and tag it as "systemConfig".
2. Copy and paste the following into the tiddler's body:
config.options.txtUserName = "Digital Doctor";
3. Save changes and reload.
That should do it.

Three time's a charm.

Thanks FND.
