Two things, what will happen if there is an upgrade. You mentioned that you have made the corrections from your end. I wasn't clear. so in future, the corrections will be in place? Second, just for my own curiosity as I am not a php programmer, addition of following line would have also worked - right? $elts[$i]->name = $hikashop_vote->name; Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQyLXZvdGUvODc2NzgwLXVzZXJuYW1lLWluLXRoZS1jb21tZW50cy1vZi10aGUtcHJvZHVjdHM/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Xavier](/forum/user/4105-xavier "View Xavier's Profile")** - [![Xavier's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar4105.png)](/forum/user/4105-xavier "View Xavier's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/4105-xavier) Less More - Posts: 13201 - Thank you received: 2322 - - - - [](http://www.kidiweb.fr) - 11 years 5 months ago [\#200813](#200813) by [Xavier](/forum/user/4105-xavier "View Xavier's Profile") Replied by *[Xavier](/forum/user/4105-xavier "View Xavier's Profile")* on topic *[Username in the Comments of the products](/forum/42-vote/876780-username-in-the-comments-of-the-products#200813 "-- url of the page with the problem -- : brahas.com -- HikaShop version -- : 2.4.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.4.1 Hi: The comment section uses "username" field for displaying the user who has commented.

Thanks in advance for your help")* Hi, Yes the line you wrote would have also worked ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)") But the given solution allow to have all the informations directly. When updating/upgrading, if you have edited the view thanks to the menu Display > Views (so a view override) so everything will work as expected.
