I poked around a bit and couldn't find a ready answer to this, so I am asking here and hoping to get an answer.

When I create a set of criteria (for example, I want a module that shows the top viewed users) it creates the display just fine, but it is showing the user's REAL NAMES instead of their USERNAME as a clickable link to their profile. Due to the nature of my site, this is unacceptable.

I am using Jomsocial, if that makes any difference.

Please help?

Hello!

I didn't forget about you ;) I just didn't get to a computer until now. sorry about that!

the change is very easy: just open file /plugins/contentstats/com_community.php

and on file 540, at some point, you will see this: 

u.name as item_name


you need to replace just this piece with:

u.username as item_name


hope this helps! let me know if you have any trouble

    Hello

    This is very easy to change with a tiny code change. I can't tell you right now because I'm not on the computer, please just give me a few hours and I'll tell you how to do it

    Thank you very much, for both jumping right on this AND for understanding what I was trying to communicate. :)

    I appreciate the very fast response!

    Not trying to be pushy here... just wanting to make sure that you don't forget to actually tell me how to accomplish this.

    Yes, that makes perfect sense to me. I just didn't know where to look! Thank you.
