TypeError: Cannot read property "displayName" about app-inventor-gallery

Assigned to @reedspool to see if this problem still exists after the 29 Jun version is uploaded to App Engine.

I isolated this bug. The reason is because your log in name currently does not have a displayName assigned to it

[derrell]

See #29

[derrell]

I committed a change that adds a default display name for each user. That should fix the displayName problem. Let's now see if there are other issues.

Found a bug. For some reason, previous authors aren't being stored properly during new app creation. To reproduce this bug, simply "upload" a new app with anything you like in most fields, just make sure that the Previous Owners field is filled with anything. Then switch to another module, and back again. This error is the MApps.getAppList attempting to process an array of previous authors, where instead it only receives a string.

Reed, this is a different problem. Please open a new issue for it.

I believe this issue is no longer necessary. It is a messy thread, but it seems that everything is resolved or noted in other issues.

[derrell]

Reed, do we have tests to show that the Previous Authors problem is fixed?

[reedspool]

No, the Previous Authors problem is yet unresolved.

[derrell]

The Previous Authors problem is not what this issue is about. I created #61for that issue, and am closing this one.
