Title: Use name Or Username
Post by: ColinM on 05.03.2018 18:12:58
When creating/editing a Download in the front end the 'Created by' field in the Publish tab always uses the Name irrespective of the setting in Config - Front End tab  field "Use real user name?" as either Yes or No
See pics for more info.

Hi Colin,

yes this is correct. We use here the normal Joomla standard field 'user' for it.
The option above is only thinked for the download data output in the frontend. Otherwise we must create a new data field type. Maybe a little to much circumstances in this case?  ::)

Hi,
I also have trouble with this. As I run a website with several thousand users, it is very difficult to select the right user via name and even unambiguous. So I have various names Smith. But Username are unique and I really would appreciate a change here.
Best regards and continue the great work,
Florian

Normally should be listed the user ID behind the name.
I will see what I can do here.
