Request to Update Download Log Display to show usernames

[ibrahim]

Hello Arno,
On the Logs /index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=logs

Please in the next version, could you please update the log to display the downloaded items with the username instead of the user's name? The current log shows the user's name, which creates a problem. For example, if a person named David downloads an item, and I search for "David" in the user accounts, there are 15 users with that name. Only the usernames are different. Therefore, it would be more helpful if the log displayed the username instead of the user's name.

I would truly appreciate that because it always takes me a long time to find the user.


Thank you!

Hi Ibrahim,
I'm not sure if this would be useful for other users.
But I will have a look at it. Maybe we could put both names in this field.
But I won't be making any database changes for this, that would be too time-consuming for me (regarding the updates).

Thanks for the quick response. It's perfect to have both the real name and the username filed.

There is still the option below. Even then the name would be displayed accordingly. Would that be a solution for you?

I have tested it, but the result remains on both sides, displaying the name instead of the username. Please try it

Hi,
you are right. But I changed it a bit and it works now in the list in the backend and use this option. See pics.
I will publish it tomorrow in version 4.0.43.

I have now changed my mind! The use of the mentioned option results in further changes in the frontend display, which are not always desired.

Therefore, I have now changed the DB query so that the contents of both data fields are always displayed in the list in future. See pic.
