Minor bug : copies of username in the list

[Anonymous]

Hi,

i’ve got a minor bug :

When i go to my admin pannel > RaidPlanner > Characters > Add
I have to select a username on a list, but the problem is that there are multiple copies of the same username.

See the screenshot above :

So i dunno if that can cause bugs, i always select the first of the “clones”

I tried to use the “Database check” feature but nothing happend, only this is appearing :

Removing unanchored signups : 4 found

and when i reclic “Database check”, that message still appears

thanks

PS : in that list, its displaying the Name field of joomla users, not the username.
It would be better (for me :p ) to display username 🙂

It would be better (for me :p ) to display username BECAUSE if users have same Name its hard to know who do we have to select on the list. Users can’t have the same username so i think that would be better if that list show a list of usernames and not list of names

I agree to you edit post.

I think the problem with the copies is, that Users who are in more than one group appear multiple times.
It seems that the problem is the sql string here

The user list on admin interface is displayed by Joomla itself, with JHTML::_(‘list.users’
Please check if you see the duplication in other Joomla components (like article editor etc.)

negative…
There he is only once.
But every user which is displayed multiple times is in the same amount of user groups, so it definitely has to do something with that.

Hey, i found an issue regarding this topic which explains the multiple usernames:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=26564

on
http://groups.google.com/group/joomla-dev-general/browse_thread/thread/ca3ffee1bf076bd0
the solution was mentioned to add a DISTINCT in the sql command in
/libraries/joomla/html/html/list.php

But, well changing joomla core files is never good 😉

The other thing is, that it would be much better if the entrys in the drop down box would be the ‘username’, not the ‘name’.
The ‘username’ field is unique, the ‘name’ field isn’t

Try the latest version from github, I’ve removed list.users call, and replaced it with a normal drop down item.

Wow, great, thanks a lot.

[Anonymous]

is it possible to do it the same way in the groups tab where you add the users?

[Taracque]

Done.
