Image owner is not set at upload

[Tazzios]

Behavior
When uploaden an image from the backend or the editor button the owner is not set. So i cannot see who had uploaded the picture.
Only when using the menu item user panel for upload the owner gets set.

Expected
Evertime and way an image is uploaded the owner is set.

Do i overlook some reason why it is not set?

info:
Joomgallery 3.6.0
Joomla 3.10.11

I have also experienced that. But it does not matter for me.
@MrMusic Do you know why JG 3.x is acting like that?

Hi,

the image owner is only set when uploading in the frontend, as it was thought that only the admin uploads in the backend anyway. If necessary, you can quickly change the owner via batch editing in the backend.

I have multiple users that use the editor button in the frontend to upload images. I do not always know who has uploaded the image.

I can see if i can make a pull request to add the user to the plugin but joomgallery is a bit more complex then the plugins and modules that i make. :)

Never realized that the JoomPlu upload is using the Backend uploader...

Sorry I found out that I'm talking nonsense.
My users can use front and backend, I just asked them and they are using the backend.
Did a test on the frontend and then a username is set. ( Why didn`t I test that earlier :( )

At which joomgallery php files should i look to add also a username from the backend?

Take a look here:

JoomGallery/administrator/components/com_joomgallery/helpers/upload.php

Lines 2384 to 2392 in d8d1fb9

	// Owner
	if($this->_site)
	{
	$row->owner = $this->_user->get('id');
	}
	else
	{
	$row->owner = 0;
	}

@MrMusic thanks for the direct link.

This is all what needed to always set the user.

 // Owner 
 //if($this->_site) 
 //{ 
   $row->owner   = $this->_user->get('id'); 
 //} 
 //else 
 //{ 
 //  $row->owner   = 0; 
 //} 

Is there a change it gets in the official release or do I need to apply it as my own mod?

I don't think this will come in JoomGallery 3. For backward compatibility a new configuration option would have to be created, etc.

Thats also fine, I will edit the file at my own installation. It`s not a big deal if I forget the mod for a few days after an update.
