File browser data – 'Uploaded By'

    At the moment in the file browser, the only way to tell who the upload has come from is from the “Uploaded By’ field, this shows their username that is generated by WP.

    However, we have usernames set to email address and that is how we are filing our users.

    Q, How can i change the ‘Uploaded by’ to their email address? Or add a new field – email?

    (As the short code generator is not showing please forgive me if this is a simple short code exercise)

    Thanks

    You need to make some code modifications of the plugin in order to get the email instead of the username.

    regarding the shortcode composer, please upgrade to the latest version 2.7.6

    Let me know if you need anything else…

    Thanks Nickolas, could you point me in the right direction please, is it the main wordpress_file_upload.php file that needs editing? With thanks in advance

    supposing that you have the free version 2.7.6 edit file wfu_admin_browser.php inside /lib folder of the plugin’s directory.

    In line 192 replace

    $file['user']

    with:

    ( $file['user'] == 'guest' ? 'guest' : ( ($a = get_user_by('login', $file['user'])) === false ? 'unknown' : $a->user_email ) )

    This code will display the email instead of the username. In case the file was uploaded by a visitor, it will display ‘guest’. If the cannot be found by its username (e.g. has been erased) then it will display ‘unknown’.
