Sender / Recipient not being displayed on PM's list page

Question

Hi all, me again!

As said previously, for the name display in our forum we use the Name field instead of Username. When this option is set, it is causing the sender/recipient name to not show up on the private message page.

When name display is set to 'username'

When name display is set to 'Name'

Kind regards

Okay, fixed it for the inbox & outbox. I changed line 89 in /com_chronoforums/chronoforums/controllers/messages.php from

		$this->Message->bindModels('belongsTo', array(
			'MessageUser' => array(
				'className' => '\GCore\Admin\Models\User',
				'foreignKey' => 'sender_id',
				'fields' => array('id', 'username'),
			),
		));

to

		$this->Message->bindModels('belongsTo', array(
			'MessageUser' => array(
				'className' => '\GCore\Admin\Models\User',
				'foreignKey' => 'sender_id',
				'fields' => array('id', 'name'),
			),
		));

And line 98 from

		$this->Message->MessageRecipient->bindModels('belongsTo', array(
			'MessageRecipientUser' => array(
				'className' => '\GCore\Admin\Models\User',
				'foreignKey' => 'recipient_id',
				'fields' => array('id', 'username'),
			),
		));

to

		$this->Message->MessageRecipient->bindModels('belongsTo', array(
			'MessageRecipientUser' => array(
				'className' => '\GCore\Admin\Models\User',
				'foreignKey' => 'recipient_id',
				'fields' => array('id', 'name'),
			),
		));
