Extension: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/cron_setdefaultauthor/0.1.0/ (not tested but description looks like it solves your problem) Also, those lines will force the "author" field to be fill: Add those 2 lines to /typo3conf/extTables.php : t3lib_div::loadTCA("tt_news"); $TCA['tt_news']['columns']['author']['config']['eval'] = 'required'; Not tested but should be ok.
