Thanks for the reply Barbie. I did read the documentation and saw the way to create an additional guid. I was concerned because I didn't ever remember creating an empty name. During install on another mac machine; I did find that when doing a o conf init_test_report it asked me:
Would you like to run 'metabase-profile' now to create '/Users/dhorner/.cpanreporter/metabase_id.json'? [y] Running [/usr/local/bin/metabase-profile --output /Users/dhorner/.cpanreporter/metabase_id.json --email dave-at-thehorners.com --secret 266sd7ec]... Enter full name: Writing profile to '/Users/dhorner/.cpanreporter/metabase_id.json' this apparently happened to me on the windows machine too. I would like to suggest modifying metabase-profile to request multiple times/or not allow empty full name. Additionally it might be nice to display an example as most people format their names. on the same line: Enter full name ex. Joe Shmoe (PAUSEID): or on two lines: ex. Joe Shmoe (PAUSEID) Enter full name: Regarding the association of guid/unnamed reports. It sounds like it is all based on email; which I have associated both email addresses I would it assume it being addressed from. I am still unsure of how to view the number of reports/stats of reports I've submitted. http://cpantesters.org/author/M/MRHORNER.html I don't have any distributions yet in the system, so I might have issue there; not sure. I have properly named reports now. Thanks again for your thoughtful reply. --dave On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 8:03 AM, Barbie <bar...@missbarbell.co.uk> wrote: > Hi Dave, > > I would suggest using the ready made 'metabase-profile' script [1], part > of Metabase::Fact [2], and following the Creating a Profile section in the > guide [3]. > > If you've already used the current profile without a name, you can still > attribute a name to the email address.
