[Bug 1826766] Re: The "Uploaded by" option should only be visible in the group file area but not others

 

When a template is copied that contains a file, the "Uploaded by" is
displayed on the resulting page as a different person than the portfolio
author would have uploaded the file. This allows for transparency
without displaying information twice.

Title:
  The "Uploaded by" option should only be visible in the group file area
  but not others

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In bug #1815807 we added the person's name to the file properties to
  see who uploaded a file. This information should not be visible in the
  personal files area as it is superfluous. It can stay available in the
  group, institution, and site files areas as there are multiple people
  who could potentially upload files and thus differentiating who did
  would be a good thing for transparency.

  To replicate:

  1. Log in as site admin.
  2. Upload a file to your personal files area and click the "Edit" button.
  Expected result: There is no mention of "Uploaded by"
  Actual result: "Uploaded by ..." is displayed.

  3. Add the file to a page.
  4. Click the file to view its details page.
  Expected result: There is no mention of "Uploaded by"
  Actual result: "Uploaded by ..." is displayed.

  5. Upload a file to a group.
  6. Click the "Edit" button to view the file properties.
  Expected and actual result: "Uploaded by ..." is displayed.

  7. Add the group file to a group page.
  8. Click the file to view its details page.
  Expected and actual result: "Uploaded by ..." is displayed.

  Repeat 5-8 for institution and site files with the same results.
