TOPIC:

created_by , modified_by, and joomla user fields. 01 Jun 2013 14:47 #7271

I am using the Joomla 3 Sandbox and there are two instances of com_gnosis. Neither instance of com_gnosis is the version I am currently working on.

I wanted to test the created_by and modified_by fields which do not seem to work properly. If I open up either of these and drag the "username" fields to the page layout I get numbers, instead of usernames. When i open up the properties on those fields in the page layout, both fields indicate "Modified By/Createdby > Last visit date" regardless of which of the subfields I drag.

The sandbox is working correctly now. I still can't figure out how to get the username to show on on a page layout for the modified_by and created_by fields.

I'm seeing the same problem. Not matter what field from Joomla user I drag into my view, It's being added as: Last visit date field...

When errors occurs in installation, sometimes Joomla is not able to ininstall correctly.
It happens the menu appears two times... Languages files are not loaded in this menu...

This is caused by an installation problem.
When your issue is fixed and the component is installable, you must anyway wait for the next cleaning of the sandbox and all is coming back in order.

guessing this only explains the multiple instances of component but not the issue with the joomla user as explained.

When I drag e.g. Joomla username into my view in builder, then it is rendered as "last visit date field" no matter what I do...

Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me about the status of the created_by and modified_by fields? When dragging any of the subfields to view, only the last visit date field displays.

One of the issues I have to check now is this one of the FK users.

Yes, It is still open.

Are you sure that your fields are linked in the wizzards ?Please check this.


In beta, if you recreate the FK and wizzard, all is working correctly.


There is here an issue that I cannot resolve.
Users Fk must be recreated in some cases. did you tried ?


Anyway, on 15th on June, you will be able to keep your changes on the beta, and at this moment recreate the users FK and respectives forms / filters.


I changed a lot here because, as well as acceslevels table, those fields are now considerated and treated as real FK. On previous version it was treated as a special field.
So, the field path is totally different now.

I am having a little difficulty understanding you.

I tried creating a project from scratch, neither of those fields are working. Its possible that I don't understand how they are to work, but I can get a regular FK to work just fine.

What exactly do you mean by "linked in the wizzards?" In a regular FK, for example, If I wanted to link to a category table, I would just drag the category table to the foreign table field. The joomla users table is not listed to drag.



In this next image, you'll see that when I drag any of the subfields, for example, "username" to the view, I still get the "Joomla user > Last visit date" instead of username.



Is it possible, that we simply do not have have access to the joomla user table?

Could you provide step by step instructions, on getting the created_by/modified_fields to work? All I want to do is provide the username of the creator/modifier of a record. At this point I am not sure if the functionality is broken, or I simply don't understand how to do it.

I just tested this with 2.0 beta and below, and created_by, modified_by, and joomla user fields/wizards work correctly. So it appears I understand how to make it work. It is only 2.5 beta that those fields/wizards are not working.

When I tell you to recreate, you can also try to recreate the fk in the table.
Not only the references to it.

This issue will disapears totally after ther 15th of June.
For the moment I must keep this issue.
It is not really solveable. Long work for nothing.

Thanks to understand.

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
