Uploaded By and Owner

[silverfox47]

Hi,

Is it possible that when an admin user uploads a file that the uploaded by and/or owner fields could automatically pick up the username that the user has logged in to joomla with.

I know it can be selected manually but it just adds another step to the file upload process.

Thank you

Hi, if you mean the upload in administration, then this needs to be customized directly in the code, I think this needs to be add to part when the files are added to system, not when they are uploaded

Yes that is what I meant, it is the step of where a file is added by an admin user.

It seems natural to automatically add the user name in the same way when a new article is created it automatically assigns the author name.

Possibly a good feature to add for future versions?

Hi, Ok, I will take a look at it, for now the logic is:

- if you upload images in backend, mostly there is no need to differentiate owners
- if you upload them in frontend, then there is managing of different owners and the administrator in backend will always stay over these ownerships - to only administrate the site.
