Uploaded By should be the login name

[karjol]

I have multiple admins for the joomla site. When any admin tries to upload a new file, I want "Uploaded By" should automatically pick the Logged in user id.
Please let me know how to achieve it in phoca download and what all the files needs to be modified

Hi, the user id, who uploads the file is set there.

No, It asks to browse and select the user. Instead of that, I want it to automatically take.
I can get it from Joomla using the below code:

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$userId = $user->get( 'id' );
echo '<input type="hidden" name="user_id" value="' . $userId . '" />';

But I am not getting how to assign it to Uploaded by field.

Hi, when you run the upload form, it is stored here:

components\com_phocadownload\views\file\tmpl\default.php

Then it is managed in controller and data is stored in database:

components\com_phocadownload\controllers\user.php
components\com_phocadownload\models\user.php
