Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Name vs Username

On my website, we're exclusively using Username wherever it's possible (also in JD frontend via the config "User Real Name"->No), Forum, etc.
The problem is with the Edit Download / Publishing options / Created by, where the Name is displayed instead of the Username. Is there a way to have both displayed ? Or better to honor the setting in the configuration also in the backend / edit forms ?
Would also love to see the Username in a column in the Downloads listing.
Thanks.

Another one, related : a way to directly edit the user in the form (small icon on the right).

I think it would be better to honour the jD Config settings as set in FrontEnd Tab "Use real user name?" field.

Hi,
QuoteThe problem is with the Edit Download / Publishing options / Created by, where the Name is displayed instead of the Username.
Hm... i think we use here a Joomla core function. But i will check this.

Username display is also a Joomla core function, isn't it ? The thing here is to diplsay the Username and/or the Name of the uploader. Very important, as the Name is NOT unique (ie. many users may have the Name "Arno", but not the Username "Arno" (which is unique in J!). No ?

Another one, still related to Name/Username.
It seems we can not acces this data via frontend editing, and it's not selectable in the group permission setting. Correct ?
Do you think we could have this in a future update ?
