Username Request

[King Kovifor]

It looks like you removed the install code, but was not receiving the error that I said you should need to install. Run the following query through your ACP:

ALTER TABLE `usergroup` ADD `unreq_perms` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL

Be sure to add your table prefix to usergroup.

[BBF]

now i doesn't get errors but the permissions doesn't update

[zell_11]

I've installed this modification and am still getting permission errors. ive reinstalled it twice already. If there anyway i can install it manually.

[FireFish]

Same problem here.
I made all modifications & followed all steps discussed above.
I think a 1.0.7 is due that has an installer that works & a user permissions edit that works too as these are the two problems I'm also facing.

For now, I disabled it.

King Kovifor; I certainly appreciate your work in putting this module together as it is a nice idea for a plugin. Would it be difficult to update it again so that the installer works & user permissions work without much manual adjustments?

[jellybaby]

I just get the following - even though I have enabled permissions to change

Username Request Permissions: Your group does not have the necessary permissions required to request a username change.

[King Kovifor]

now i doesn't get errors but the permissions doesn't update

It isn't updating? At All?

I've installed this modification and am still getting permission errors. ive reinstalled it twice already. If there anyway i can install it manually.

Are you sure that all the plugins / files / install codes were updated?

I have had several people install this and have had no trouble once so ever... I am starting to hate this modification. <<

I just get the following - even though I have enabled permissions to change

Username Request Permissions: Your group does not have the necessary permissions required to request a username change.

Are you sure that you have updated plugins? If you can look through your "Username Request" plugin and see if the permissions read:

$vbulletin->bf_upg_unreq_perms['canchangeun'];

Thanks.

[Stifler]

we all are using modified admincp templates.. my only guess..

[BBF]

yes, i check it again.
for example:
i do that usergroups Members can edit their username.
and i got this error:
Username Request Permissions: Your group does not have the necessary permissions required to request a username change.

so it's doesn't update the permissions

I did this as a fresh install

[jellybaby]

Has anyone managed to resolve this

[King Kovifor]

I did this as a fresh install

Odd.

yes, i check it again.
for example:
i do that usergroups Members can edit their username.
and i got this error:
Username Request Permissions: Your group does not have the necessary permissions required to request a username change.

so it's doesn't update the permissions

Weird. Rebuiding the bitfields should have added it to the update list...

we all are using modified admincp templates.. my only guess..

Nothing in the ACP should have been modified by code...

[zell_11]

Are you sure that all the plugins / files / install codes were updated?
Yeah. I tried installing it a few times myself. A few others, that use this account as well, reinstalled it to see if I messed up, since I'm sort of new to this kinda thing. But they couldn't get it to work either. It's the darn permissions error that keeps popping up.

[King Kovifor]

You could comment out the permissions in the the plugins (but in the Username History it would show for nobody but the owner.)

Username History Plugin:
REMOVE
OR $vbulletin->bf_ugp_unreq_perms['canviewunhistory'];

from the first line of code.

Username Request:

Comment out this code:
if(!$vbulletin->bf_ugp_unreq_perms['can_change_un'])
{
unreq_add_error($vbphrase['unreq_perms'], $vbphrase['unreq_perms_txt']);
}


and

if(!$vbulletin->bf_ugp_unreq_perms['canchangeun'])
{
unreq_add_error($vbphrase['unreq_perms'], $vbphrase['unreq_perms_txt']);
}


To Comment out lines of php, add "//" in front of the line.

[BBF]

i reinstalled the mod and nothing changed

[johnrizz]

Question! I downloaded the zip file but when I unzip it I get nothing but error's? not sure what to do here...
error 25235

[King Kovifor]

On your computer? I'm a Mac OS X user, so I don't know what error 25235 is or how to fix it.

[johnrizz]

Thats just a "error opening file" error 25235. Would it be possible that the zip file is corrupted?

[King Kovifor]

Um. Any Windows User know how to fix that? And I have been pointed out in the errors of my ways. So I will be releasing v1.0.7 very shortly.

Thanks Paul M!

[johnrizz]

I can wate for v1.0.7 its no biggie... thanks man!

[FireFish]

Seriously, King Kovifor;

Can we expect a 1.0.7 that works? I know you replied to my post that many people have it working fine; i just wish they posted here in this thread so that we can get advice as to how they got it working.

I, like everyone else here, is stuck at the Usergroup Permissions Error, whether the group does or doesn't have the permissions to change username. I tried running the SQL too, nothing.

Can you please do us all a great service by making a 1.0.7 that works?

Maybe strip out features since 1.0.4; as the 1.0.4 worked fine.

:up: ---->Can you at least PM me & maybe e-mail me a copy of 1.0.4 so that I can get it working for now until these issues are resolved? :(

I would be very greatful if you could at least send me the 1.0.4 or post a download link for it so I can uninstall & reinstall it knowing it'll work for now.

Thanks again! I appreciate your efforts in developing this mod.

My Permissions errors were in the way I was checking it. The way I wrote the code (and misinterpreted how the bit fields work), it was always going to come out as a "1", returning true. This gave the results your gave.

Paul M pointed out all my mistakes and how to fix it, meaning that it should work, and I 99.99% sure that this will work. I think if it doesn't, I will ask someone to come on board for permissions who knows how to do them.

**** It works!!!! ****

Thanks King! :)

[King Kovifor]

Your welcome. And I feel like an idiot for actually making the mistakes. :D Glad these worked. I hope to expand on the actual feature set, permissions, and ease of use on everyone in v1.1.x! Any feature suggestions would be welcomed!

Try uninstalling the previous version altogether first. Then, install fresh.

[FreshFroot]

just a nice feature would be if anytime a username is changed, it saves the old username in their user notes, each time they have their names changed.

[jellybaby]

Sorry but it still doesnt work for me, I have the permissions problem

Just to say I have uninstalled and re-installed new version and checked permissions several times.

[BigDog56]

Installed the mod, no problems. Now I'll have to wait for someone to request a change before I know it's working without a hitch. Nice mod. Thank you very much for the time you spent creating it! :up:

If you want to learn how it works, you can simply make a test user on your forum (which isn't a bad idea anyways to test user permissions in general) & request a change from that account.

---> I only have one more issue with this module now: User requests a name change, admin approves; it Private Messages the user; WHAT IT the user turned off e-mailed notification upon new Private Messages? They'll have difficulties logging in next time unless they're smart enough to try their new username?!?! (this happened to me).

---> Plus, it would be nice to see a feature added which would allow an immediate change of the username if the admin allows; in cases where an admin won't have a reason not to approve a username change. In this case, history should still be kept.

[BBF]

thank you very much!
it's work excellent!

i'm recommended for Modification of the Month

[jellybaby]

Aha I dont know what happened but I did it again and it works now!!

Thanks so much for this.

[yoyoyoyo]

thanks for the update!

[BellyBelly]

I'm having a problem with this, it's showing in the default template but not my custom one. I have put on a couple of mods in the last week so maybe something is conflicting... but is there a reason you can think of that this would be happening?

[m002.p]

Hi mate, some feedback on the newest version 1.0.7:

You might want to re-visit the phrases. I have had to modify a few for errors or small problems.

Example, a small spelling mistake I noticed:

Phrase: unreq_uniu_txt
The username that you have specied appears to be the username that you are currently using.

A small tense issue:

Phrase: unreq_adminpm_txt
{1} has requested that his username be changed to {2}. You may approve or disapprove this in the ACP.

The one above maybe should include "she" also ;)

Character Issue:

Phrase: unreq_minpost_txt
The administrator has specified that you have atleast {1} posts. You currently have {2} {3}. Please try again when you post {4} more {5}.

Anyway dont mean to be picky, just something that maybe you should be aware of if you arent already.

Thanks for the great update all working fine :)

EDIT: A suggestion also:

Under Options in the Admin CP for this mod, it says "enter the notification ID for the admin to be PMed". Maybe add that so you can have several. For larger boards including mine, there is usually more than one admin and it would be great if we could add a few ID's there example:

1,44,61,45

I tryed doing that to no avail. It only seems to work with one admin :(

[King Kovifor]

just a nice feature would be if anytime a username is changed, it saves the old username in their user notes, each time they have their names changed.

That is what the User History feature is for. It keeps track of the old name, the date, the status, and the requested name.

If you want to learn how it works, you can simply make a test user on your forum (which isn't a bad idea anyways to test user permissions in general) & request a change from that account.

---> I only have one more issue with this module now: User requests a name change, admin approves; it Private Messages the user; WHAT IT the user turned off e-mailed notification upon new Private Messages?

---> Plus, it would be nice to see a feature added which would allow an immediate change of the username if the admin allows; in cases where an admin won't have a reason not to approve a username change. In this case, history should still be kept.

I was pointed that out, and I need to work that into either v1.1.0 or v1.0.8. Not sure which version I'm going to jump to (hopefully v1.1.0).

The immediate change was going to become a separate modification, but if I can get the name changed to "Username Management", I will probably be adding it to v1.1.0. If I can't change the name, I might create a separate modification. These would work together as a username management tools.

I'm having a problem with this, it's showing in the default template but not my custom one. I have put on a couple of mods in the last week so maybe something is conflicting... but is there a reason you can think of that this would be happening?

Make sure $navbar (the variable) is used within your default vBulletin template.

Thanks for the phrases. If I don't release a v1.0.8 to fix some things and add some small things, they will be in v1.1.0! And that is a planned feature for v1.1.0...

[Marco]

Looks nice! Is it also possible to limit the number of username changes a user can get?

[djbaxter]

Looks nice! Is it also possible to limit the number of username changes a user can get?

Sure. Stop approving new requests. :)

[King Kovifor]

Looks nice! Is it also possible to limit the number of username changes a user can get?

All the data is in place now to limit that, but I never wrote the code for the feature. v1.1.0 will have it.

Sure. Stop approving new requests. :)

[xgc ottomatic]

I am getting alot of errors while trying to unzip this download.

[m002.p]

I dont think thats anything to do with this mod. I would advise you download the files again or alternatively re-install WINRAR or the extraction tool you use.

[King Kovifor]

Yeah. I hate Windows so I couldn't help you.

[testebr]

The option "Username Request Permissions" in usergroup manager still not appearing.

I will continue with the version 1.03.

edit: problem solved. Solution is upload the new xml files do include folder

edit²: (bug?) open your prouct.xml... the phrase $vbphrase[unreq] doesn't exist and show default name of plugin, "Username Request".

[yoyoyoyo]

it would be nice if admins and mods could see the username request option in their ACP as well.

[silvermerc]

Make it so only certain usergroups can request would be exellent (L)

[King Kovifor]

Make it so only certain usergroups can request would be exellent (L)

Available in v1.0.7!

it would be nice if admins and mods could see the username request option in their ACP as well.

Any Administrator with "canadminusers" permissions can see this. And do you really want Moderators to have the ability to change usernames?

[silvermerc]

So when will that version be avalible

[King Kovifor]

Sorry- I meant to say "User CP" - I am deailing with moderator's name changes all the time.

They should be able to see the option. Can regular users see the option?

So when will that version be avalible

v1.0.7 is out and available for download right now... It's the .zip located in the first post.

[johnrizz]

Requirements
This hack has several requirements. They include:

* vBulletin v3.6.6 or higher (This is the minimum version required for the next requirement)
* The usercp_nav_bottom template hook.


To get around the second requirement, you can copy the cell manually or add $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom] at the end of the User Control Panel navigation.


KK You wouldn't mind explaining on how to install the Hook would ya? I'm a tad slow in the code department....:D

[yoyoyoyo]

They should be able to see the option. Can regular users see the option? hmm - I guess they can't LOL - where should I be looking?

[King Kovifor]

The bottom of the User CP left hand navigation...

Stone0075,

How customized is the template USERCP_SHELL? Or any of those templates for that matter. If it is a bought style, see if the creator has released a style update with template hooks.

[johnrizz]

Thanks for the response KK,

[yoyoyoyo]

The bottom of the User CP left hand navigation...
LOL - well - whaddya know? :D there it is just as advertised - thanks and sorry for the confusion.

[Marco]

All the data is in place now to limit that, but I never wrote the code for the feature. v1.1.0 will have it.

Cool! I'll keep watching this mod then. Good work!

[Alibass]

I uninstalled the ol' faithful v1.03 today and tried yet another install of a new version. It seems I can never get past the user group permission issue. I am uninstalling 1.07 and going back to 1.03 for good. It works good for me and my needs. Maybe one day you will get this issue fixed.

You have a great mod with a lot of potential and I am sorry I don't mean to sound ungrateful, it's just aggravating to do uninstalls and reinstalls of new versions and still not fix. :(

[King Kovifor]

Alibass. I am not sure why your install is working, if you would like I will work it out on your server so this modification actually works (and to be sure, did you upload all the .xml files to the /includes/xml/ file?)

[Alibass]

@King Kovifor

I would like to apologize to you a hundred times over if that would be enough for being such a damn idiot. I have been using v1.03 for awhile because of issues with some later versions. I did not realize you had added "User Name Request Permissions" in the User Group Manager and that was the reason I kept getting the no permission error. :erm: Your version 1.07 works great and thank you for sharing it with us. :up: :)

Getting an error when extracting the .ZIP File, I want to install this so bad on my Forums, can you reupload the .ZIP? Oh and quick question, where does the "Username Change History" display for the particular user, in their Profile?

[Dannyloski]

Installed now ... There was an error I got when extracting, but the files were all intact, so I did the installation fine ... Awesome Hack!

[Dannyloski]

I have a couple of questions regarding this Hack, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


How can I delete a certain username change from the "Username History" box for a particular user.


Is it possible to make the "Username History" box display ONLY "Approved" Username Changes?


Is there any news on when the "Reason" feature for a Username Change Request will be added? It would be a nice addition if it would display in the PM sent to the Admin or in the AdminCP under the corresponding username change request.

[Andyrew]

I have this installed and working fine, but the only problem i can see is that some users will get confused when their name is changed if not online while the whole process takes place.
What if they log off after a change name request, when they come back to log in they will be typing their old user name.
Once they realize the name must have changed they log in with the new name and get a PM telling them the new name has been accepted. (it's a bit late by then):D
Does this mod send out an email to the user to let them know about the name change, otherwise i can see many users coming back to forums after a few days and wondering why they cannot log in. :confused:

1. You could manually remove it through SQL queries, as their is no built in function. I will add this to the next version.
2. I could make this an option in the next version.
3. The reason feature should be a next version update.

Nope. I try not to give out dates and I'm working on allowing more than one administrator to get e-mails.

[Dannyloski]

King Kovifor, thanks for answering my questions. Could you please tell me which SQL Query to run to delete a certain username change from the "Username History" box for a particular user? I would highly appreciate it, thanks. Also, I really look forward to the Next Version release which will contain those things I was asking about by default. I'll keep a look out on this Thread to see when it comes out. I saw in the above post that you dont have an expected date set in mind for the next release, but could you say maybe like a couple of days, weeks, or months? Just curious. Thanks!

Your welcome. I need to revisit the table (i believe you could remove the ID of the request, but not sure...). And not really. If I get a good day to code stuff, it could be tomorrow, but with the current time crunch I have, that could be three weeks from now. So not definite date.

[Dannyloski]

Thanks for the info. I was able to delete the specific username change that I needed to delete ... I cant wait for the next release with the new features, they will make this hack even nicer ...

[King Kovifor]

Plus a major feature that I'm going to keep hidden!

[grecostimpy]

First off, wonderful modification. Simply brilliant.

One question:

Under the Vbulletin Options for this hack, there is a field for "What is the id of the user who you would like to "send the message".

I created a dummy user so I would not get a bunch of "Thank you" PM's cluttering up my inbox. I entered the dummy user's userid. Problem is, the approve/deny PM still comes from my userid. Any reason why this might be happening?

Thanks again!

[King Kovifor]

* OOPS *

That would be an error on my part. It doesn't read that setting. I will add it in later. Thanks!

[BBF]

i have 2 ideas for a new version:
1. remove all requests
2. user can send a change user name request every x days,weeks, months etc...

[DAdiguzeL]

How can i change pm sender? i don't want to send auto pm from admin user.
it doesn't work "PM Sender" which is in admincp.
Please help.

[kiwivc]

Installed. Works perfectly :) Great job!

[King Kovifor]

How can i change pm sender? i don't want to send auto pm from admin user.

I never used that setting in the code, I wrote it using the person's User ID who changed it (oops).

i have 2 ideas for a new version:
1. remove all requests
2. user can send a change user name request every x days,weeks, months etc...

2 would be able to be done within the dates that was added.

so,

is it possible what i say?
i mean i want to send auto pm from the user who's userid 1522 for example.

[King Kovifor]

Yes. You would just have to edit the PHP code. You could wait until the next version, which is being worked on...

Download appears to be corrupt and needs to be fixed.

Thanks.

[King Kovifor]

Thanks.

Do you get any errors when you unzip it?

[Spinball]

I think I have found a bug. When the final user name change PM goes out, the sender is set to the administrator assigned to deal with the requests and NOT the PM Sender specified in the setup screen.
He keeps getting 'thanks' PMs and he wants them to stop.
Can you look into this, please?
Thanks.

[King Kovifor]

As stated before, not to be rude, but the setting seemed to be over looked. But with v1.1.0 in the works, I don't think it necessary to essentially build a new version to fix this. I could supply a patch if you would rather edit the files for yourself...

[rpainter]

Nevermind. Installed latest version of the other MOD, and it works now.

[Creed3020]

Great mod!

Thanks!

[King Kovifor]

Great mod!

Thanks!

I am guessing that you have found the options within the Usergroup Permissions?

[Creed3020]

I am guessing that you have found the options within the Usergroup Permissions?

I did.

I ignored my own rule, think, then think harder before you post.

One thing I can't figure out though is where in the ACP do the requests show up...seems dumb put can't find it.

[Creed3020]

I did.

One thing I can't figure out though is where in the ACP do the requests show up...seems dumb put can't find it.

Again answered my own question.

The page didn't show up until I logged out of the panel, and cleared my browsers cache. It now shows in the Users area of the ACP.

Sorry for the trouble.

After I rejected a nickname change I get this:

Results
Private Message Failed

Also, for the Administrator Notification can you list multiple admins?

[King Kovifor]

Not yet. I plan on adding this feature into the next version and it appears that isn't using the userid it seems like (only reason I have had a fail). I will have a look at it tonight...

If that is the case, I will download 1.0.7 to investigate.

[JulianD]

I would definitely use this if you add the Change Amount Limitation feature to this hack!

Thanks though.

[King Kovifor]

Working on that...

[inciarco]

Great Hack, King Kovifor!! :up:

Mod Works Great!! User Name Changes Are Done Succesfully!! :up:

Three little Bug (I Think)!! :(

When Trying to See the "Username History", Appears "No history to be found", even When I've Made 4 Changes On That User. (That's The First Bug)!! :( :confused:

EDIT 2: Perhaps The Hack Could be Trying to Look for the Previous (Changed) Username Instead of the New Changed Username?? (Could Be Better To Reference Them By the User Unique Number Code, and also Present that Code in an Additional Column)!! ;)

I Copy/Paste the Table of Username Requests:

Requests
Username Nuevo Nombre de Usuario Solicitado Date Actions
foros foros1 06:34 PM, 25-10-2007 Approve - Reject - Username History
foros1 foros 06:40 PM, 25-10-2007 Approve - Reject - Username History
foros foros2 06:42 PM, 25-10-2007 Username History
foros2 foros3 06:43 PM, 25-10-2007 Username History


I've made 4 Changes to the Username of a User called foros; first to foros1, then to foros (again), then to foros 2, and then to foros3.

When I made the second change back to foros (from foros1), the Approve/Reject Links Activated to Both Previous Requests (Even When I've Approved Them Both)!! (That's The Second Bug)!! :( :confused:

EDIT 1: Another Bug I Found after writing this Message, is that When seeing the "Username History Tip", when I've got the "Username History - No history to be found." Result, and when I tried Introducing the "Months" value in the option "Username History Tip", and pressed the Button "Refine Your Search!", I've got the Error Result "Error - No username was specified.", even when I've been trying to see the Results for Username "foros". (The one of the Previous described Bugs). (That's The Third Bug)!! :( :confused:

I Hope You Can Test This Great Hack and Correct Those Little Bugs!! ;)

Great Hack!! Process of Changing Usernames is Great and Very Fast!! Communication of Final Results is Automatic and Very Easy!! Thank You Very Much!! :up:

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

[inciarco]

One Little Question: How do Users Check The History Changes They've Made?? :confused:

I've set the Option "Can View Username History" to "Yes", but I Haven't Been Able To Locate The Link for the User To Check Those Changes!! :o

I Appreciate Your Help!! ;)

My Best Regards!! :up:

The username history should be greatly improved (hopefully fixing these bugs) and a new feature will fix approval of both...

Username History is attached inside the profile pages.

has anyone tested on 3.6.4 ? i see the min req, but just wondering b/c i dont have plans on updating anytime soon.

Yeah. It works. You just need to manually add the template cell instead of having template hooks. I could write up instructions later for you.

[anwar.abdullakh]

when I request username and press submit...
i get the following error...

I don't know what is causing this, but I will look into it.

[benFF]

A little request, but it would be cool if a user could type in a reason for the username change which is also listed in the table :)

[King Kovifor]

[Seiyaboy]

Are you uploading an updated modification for 3.6.7 as well like you did in the past?

[anwar.abdullakh]

but the error still remains...:confused:

~MSD~

I will have to look into this. :D

[ozmazdaclub]

with the current version (1.0.8) where do i need to put $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom]. Do i put it in one of the templates(which one)/a file (which one) or is it not required anymore.

Thanks in Advance!

[ozmazdaclub]

don't worry found the solution in a previous post.

[habasabi]

I hate to bring this up again.. i've read ALL of the posts in this thread.. I just installed this mod fresh.. never had it before.. and I'm getting the Username Request Permissions: Your group does not have the necessary permissions required to request a username change. error... i am running the absolute latest version of vB...
I had other users test also, and they get the same error...

is there somewhere i'm supposed to be able to edit the permissions? what have i missed? thanks so much!

[King Kovifor]

Permissions are handled and modified using vBulletin's usergroup manager. You must edit each group individually and set which ones you would like to have the permissions to change their username.

[habasabi]

Thanks for the reply... That's what I thought... but I'm not seeing anything in the admin cp's user group manager that would allow me to change these permissions...

I do have the option to request in the user's cp, but again.. that's where we get the error...

did i possibly install incorrectly? or miss a template edit?

[King Kovifor]

Did you upload all the files? There was a file within the ./includes/xml/ directory entitled unreq_bitfield.xml (I believe), this would have added the options into the system while the product xml adds all the necessary code.

[DEADLY S0LDIER]

I don't understand how to make the $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom] thing, can someone help me?

[habasabi]

AHA!!! that would be where i went wrong.. i missed uploading the items in the "includes" folder of your "upload" folder.. completely my fault...

Thank you so much...
One more question, if you don't mind...

Where can i go to approve or disapprove their request? Is it just go to their profile and change it? or is there another section that has an approve or not button?
sorry.. i know there are so many questions..

Thanks so much!!!

[habasabi]

oh goodness.. never mind... I had to refresh my admin cp... you have a wonderful product... thank you so much for all of your help!!!

[habasabi]

I don't understand how to make the $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom] thing, can someone help me?

it took me a while and some reading as well..

All you have to do is go to you template edit for the USERCP_SHELL and go to the complete bottom.. and paste that $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom] right there... there's nothing else to it!

[DEADLY S0LDIER]

Thank you very much :) This is a great Mod

i'm able to DL it ok..

Very odd indeed.

[King Kovifor]

Yeah. If you PM me an e-mail or place you want it I can send you a .zip...

I can download it fine.

Posting within two hours of yourself won't get a faster response from me. Wait at least 24 hours before posting again. Thank you.

Usergroup permissions in admincp > Usergroup manager

Shazz, for not using it, that was actually the correct answer! Thanks for helping out!

[Bruce Lee JR..]

No....

Usergroup Permissions don't help. I went their about 5 times and couldn't find the Request Username Section.

[King Kovifor]

No....

Usergroup Permissions don't help. I went their about 5 times and couldn't find the Request Username Section.

What version of vBulletin / Username Request are you using?

[Bruce Lee JR..]

I'm using the vBulletin Version 3.6.7 / I'm using the Request Username Version 3.6.8

[King Kovifor]

They should be fine. Did you upload the .xml product file?

[Bruce Lee JR..]

Yeah I did, but It's still not working, Lol.

[johnrizz]

maybe you need to reinstall it again. it should look like this...

[King Kovifor]

Try uninstalling and reinstalling from a fresh copy (meaning download it again). If that doesn't work I would require some investigation.

[Bruce Lee JR..]

Still doesn't work, ='(!

[King Kovifor]

Can anyone confirm this working in vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta?

[JulianD]

There's a bug (or something working wrong with my live and dev sites):

You're inserting the requested nick to the database in an escaped form, but once the admin approves the nick, it's given escaped to the datamanager. For example:

<julian> gets inserted as &lt;julian&gt; to the database. That's ok.

But once the admin approves the change, you're passing the escaped string without unescaping it. So vbulletin thinks that the username to change is &lt;julian&gt; and will produce an error.

[TCE Killa]

I have the exact same problem as Bruce Lee..... Hack installed correctly, I just can't activate in the Usergroup Manager.

[King Kovifor]

That is a very weird bug indeed. As soon as my programming workspace is back to normal I will check this one out.

TCE, you have the bitfield .xml uploaded to /forum_root/includes/xml/? That may be your problem as well as Bruce's.

[TCE Killa]

Thanks man, it works now. Great hack btw, I would like to see more from you!

[King Kovifor]

Your Welcome. I developed the thing and forgot about that file... I don't touch it much because the code isn't contained there.

[TCE Killa]

Btw, where in the Admin panel do I do the approve/disapprove?

[TCE Killa]

Got it, I just had to upload the other XML file to my xml folder but now the link is there in my Admin CP, it keeps saying page is not found, how can I resolve this? Thanks.

[King Kovifor]

What do you mean? Did you upload the file from the uploads folder (ACP sub-folder) to the ACP folder on your site? Double check having everything uploaded to your server. I believe there are two files for 1.0.8...

[TCE Killa]

^Haha thanks man, it was that last PHP file I didn't upload to my AdminCP. Lol I'm crap at all this. Everything is working fine now man, appreciate it.

[King Kovifor]

Your welcome. Any more problems, just ask. :)

[RustedBucket]

Cool hack dude. Couple of options that I didn't see that might be handy.

1. Ability to pm multiple admins (whoever gets to it first does it).
2. Would be handy to have the request link added to the modcp (may not be possible).
2. Some status on the Request screen so a user knows their request is pending, etc. Maybe even listing their own history there. (didn't see this anywhere but for the admin).

I believe there is history within the users profile if you set it up, but it will be improved upon soon. I do not know what you mean by a request link within the mod cp? And ability to pm multiple admins may become possible sooner or later.

[LilSniper]

The setting for PM sender was ignored within the code and uses the userid of the administrator who changed the username through the administration back-end. Fix: In the next version, revamped settings and improved back-end will now properly use a setting similar to this.
Sorry I'm a little confused. Is this bug fixed yet or no?

Thanks! Btw, awesome idea for a mod.

It's not a drop down.

Go to User CP. Scroll down the page - near the bottom of the page you'll see it under "Miscellaneous".

It would be nice if it could be made a little more prominent...

Sorry for the late reply. I do not know why this would be affecting it. But I will look into this very soon. :) If I don't get to it please please please remind me... I seem to be extremely forget ful.

[amirlol]

very nic code

thanks a lot

[toddos]

edit: did it myself..

[jwaany]

nice work..
if u can add pages for the results in Admincp it will be great .
and ihave an other problem
if the username like [ james' ] it send an error in Admincp.

[toddos]

hi,

if i insert a new username and send it, it shows me this sql error:

Whats wrong ? Why doesnt it insert the userid ?

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 4:

toddos,

I have never tested this with vBulletin v3.7.0 Beta X, so there are bound to be problems. As of right now, I don't have a test forum that is running v3.7.0. I cannot check out the problem for a while.

How do you click "Install Here" ? I dont really understand this part... i have already imported it using the product mgr.

Clicking "Install" on vBulletin.org shows me that you "have" the product installed and it allows me to provide better support (by only doing it with people who press it if wanted).

[Deadly Assassin]

Brilliant, thankyou

:D

[scoobasteve]

Great hack!!

I'd like to request a feature. I don't know if it has been asked yet, but here it is:

I could see many users abusing this great feature by requesting a new username everyday.

What I'd like to see is this: If a user requests a new username, the following happens:

1. If his request got rejected, he has to wait another XX days before he can request for a new one (time is adjustable in the ACP).

2. If it got accepted, he has to wait YY days before he can change it again. (again, adjustable in ACP).

Also, when the user goes to the page, display a warning that echoes the above ("Warning: if you request a new name, you will have to wait 6 months before you can request for a new one")

Yay?

[King Kovifor]

I have the code for that in a version that i have been working on. I just can't Finish it because I can't access my data.

[BBF]

are you convert this mod to 3.7?

it's works ok..(change the username but sometimes doesn't send pm)
it's the only problem that i was found.

[King Kovifor]

Yes, I plan on conversion. My local setup still isn't back to normal and I don't have access to vB3.7 right now.

[aeturner89]

I have suggestion. It would be nice if you can be able to set time limits between name changes. Like say I want to allow only 1 name change per 6 months. If they try to change it sooner they get an error message saying they must wait until [insert date here].

[xcesiv]

i got a heap of errors when extracting this file.

so havnt installed it

[King Kovifor]

i got a heap of errors when extracting this file.

so havnt installed it

What kind of errors?

[Chris Sotier]

It says that the users dont have permission how I fix it?

[King Kovifor]

Within the ACP, opening up usergroups there are new permissions inside of that area.

[Gersfan]

I am also getting this usergroup Permission message, I have checked the Usergroup Tab as you said above and there's nothing new?

Any Help?

[Gersfan]

Infact Sorry I got it,

Thanks,

Installing All Mods

[BellyBelly]

I had no problems with this installing in my default template, but I did my custom one. So I added the hook in the usercp template and its now showing in my custom template, but the text is not sitting right in the middle of it's box/line, it's sitting directly on top of the line. Any ideas?

[Spinball]

Is is possible to have an option to order the username request list descending?
We have well over 100 requests in there now, and the admin chap who deals with this for me would like to have the new ones at the top.
( I have applied a quick fix to unreq.php but an option would be good).
Thanks.

[djbaxter]

1. Request for next version: Is there a way to prevent all except admins and moderators from seeing the name change history in the User Profile?

2. Is there a way to modify the current version to do this?

[King Kovifor]

1. Request for next version: Is there a way to prevent all except admins and moderators from seeing the name change history in the User Profile?

It should be that way.

And if BellyBelly copied the templates right, it should be fine...

[djbaxter]

It should be that way.

And if BellyBelly copied the templates right, it should be fine...

:confused:

Which version? Mine isn't that way and I didn't do any Belly Belly modifications to the add-on.

[Pocket Aces]

Would be better if usergroup permission is added. Only specified usergroups will be allowed to use that feature or request for username change.

[King Kovifor]

:confused:

Which version? Mine isn't that way and I didn't do any Belly Belly modifications to the add-on.

Sorry. That was badly phrased. The first part was for you.

Would be better if usergroup permission is added. Only specified usergroups will be allowed to use that feature or request for username change.

The should be there. They were added completely in 1.0.7...

[djbaxter]

:confused:

With version 1.08, this is all I see as options in the Admin CP:

What is the minimum posts limit. The modification will check to see if you are able to change username with this first.

Administrator Notification
Please place the id of the user who you would like to receive notifications.

PM Sender
What is the id of the user who you would like to "send the message".

Where am i supposed to be able to limit usergroups viewing name change history?

[jGas]

hi!
great modification!

but..is there a way to make the user to change his nickname himself?

thanks!

[Bilderback]

Is there any way to add a check feature which will check to see if a request is pending?
I had a user submit 10 requests for the same name change because the PM was overlooked.
It would be nice to give the user a message stating they already have a name request pending.

[DssCrazy]

Known Bugs:
No e-mail is sent out to users upon username change. Fix: The next version will include a fix that will respect all the users settings on receiving e-mail from administrators.
The setting for PM sender was ignored within the code and uses the userid of the administrator who changed the username through the administration back-end. Fix: In the next version, revamped settings and improved back-end will now properly use a setting similar to this.

Yes. But not released. My computer won't let me access my localhost. And I have a lot of unfinished features in there...

*Clicks Installed*

Great mod, King. I had a name change thread but this is much easier for me to keep track of.

[King Kovifor]

The next update may be vB 3.7.0 only. I may back-port it and remove vB 3.7.0 only features (like tabs in the profile) and things like that. Hopefully this is good news for some!

[stwilson]

Can't wait for the 3.7 version. Good work King!

[Martin-TMGRS]

Can someone help please!!! I'm getting a database error.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.9:

Invalid SQL:
CREATE TABLE `unreq` (
`id` INT(5) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
`userid` INT(5),
`requested` VARCHAR(255),
`username` VARCHAR(255),

);

[King Kovifor]

Run the following mysql query:

DROP TABLE `unreq`

That should work.

Just a suggestion, if possible, it would make it better if we could set a limit in the admin for how often a user can request a name change, I have some doing it weekly, I'd like a way to prevent it so I don't have to check and see if they requested already then explain why they can't.

[Kiros72]

I actually have a question of my own...

Does this modification check against the regular expression set in the User Registration Options? Because I have mine set to " ^[A-Z]{3,}[A-Z0-9 \.\-\_\']+$ " and I would like to make suggest (if it's not implemented) that username requests get rejected if they do not match the regular expression. An error message (with a custom phrase) to let the users know what went wrong would be very nice too!

Thanks!

That is being implemented for the next version.

That should be done. THe function I use is from vB and I think it is how they check new users against everything.

[Dannyloski]

Is this Hack affected by the Security Token added in the vB 3.6.10 Release? I'm making a list of all the Hacks I have installed and will stop working when I go ahead and upgrade, so that I know which need to be edited and fixed. Please let me know ... Thanks ...

[DssCrazy]

Yeah, we had to infract someone for makeing about 10 requests in a week.

Most likely. I haven't had time to confirm since I have 3.7.x installed. I will see about giving an update.

When will the new Release be here?

If it is affected by the CSRF flaw I will release one by the end of this week. The next major is being restarted cause I have no idea what I was doing and is going to be for 3.7.0

Yeah, we had to infract someone for makeing about 10 requests in a week.

Yeah. I had that feature working but will get it working again.

[Dannyloski]

King Kovifor, yeah I can confirm that it is in fact affected by the new Security Token on 3.6.10 and 3.7.0 RC4 ... Its a really easy fix though (see below) ...

In the modifyusername template FIND:
<form action="profile.php?do=submitrequest" method="post">


BELOW that line add:
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />


That's it! I did that and now its working like a charm again. So for those who need this Quick Fix until the New Version is released, there it is ...

Thanks. I should release a 1.0.9 including this fix later tonight (I assumed this would be affected but couldn't test it).

[xixxon]

nice...i love this mod since my members always ask me to change their username...i'll wait for the version for 3.7.0
thanks a lot

[King Kovifor]

It should work with 3.7.0 but I haven't done a clean 1.0.x install. I am working for a new updated version to be 3.7.0 only, but that could be a while.

[Dannyloski]

King Kovifor, no problem just glad to help out :up:

[King Kovifor]

I am integrating your fix now.

[echo2kk5]

I just installed this on 3.6.10 and it's working great, thanks! :up:

[Mrdby]

what is this DS STORE FILE?

[King Kovifor]

what is this DS STORE FILE?

That is Mac OS X's way of storing how things are organized in the folder. I believe it is like the Thumbs.db on Windows (if I am not mistaken) but it won't do you any harm. You may delete.

[EagleNick]

It says this was updated 25 Apr 2008.
What did that update consist of?

Minor template update for the security token that was added in 3.6.10!

Okay thanks. :D

[m002.p]

In version 1.1.0, will it include the allowance of an array of admins for the "Administrator Notification" feature listed in the vb options > username request, opposed to just one admin recieving the notification PM?

Would be such a great feature to allow say your site staff, board admins or leadership team to be able to recieve a notification of a username request opposed to just one appointed admin at current.

[KURTZ]

i'm waiting for this Jeremy! keep up the good work! ;)

Yes. It will most likely allow for this type of notification scheme.

Well glad someone does. I feel like I have been slacking big time since about May of 2007. LOL. But thanks for the encouragement. I think I may take advantage of the user name history in vB 3.7 too.

[m002.p]

Great shall look forward to the release :D ^^^^^ Thanks for your response & great work so far!

[Seiyaboy]

Thanks for the update and the fix of some functions that didn't work before. Keep up the wonderful work!

I have uninstalled 1.03 (I believe) and then tried to import the latest version. I received this mysql error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.0:

[m002.p]

Login into MYSQL using Phpmyadmin, then delete the column 'unreq_perms' before importing the latest product :) ^^^

EDIT:

Or run the query below as stated :)

[King Kovifor]

Looks like the column wasn't dropper properly. You would have to remove the column. You may run this query:

ALTER TABLE `vb3_usergroup` DROP `unreq_perms`;

Then reimport your product.

[sturdy]

How to fix, that users can user special chars like < oder > or " ? and that i can approve this nicks without getting an error ?

HM. Odd. Try removing that install code from your product (if you don't know how give me a holler).

[turbo.:R]

figured it out... great hack, my users luv it.....

[leducq]

I am getting a security token issue on 3.7. Any advise?

Thanks for the great mod

[leducq]

It worked. I'm just an idiot at times. :rolleyes:

[gunitman247]

How do i get multiple admins to receive notification? ive tried comma no comma is this even possible?

This is the next on my list of modifications to update / write. So Yeah.

[rex_b]

great hack

[Kiros72]

Agreed. I wish I could get 1.0.9 to be compatable with my vBulletin 3.7.1 ='[

What isn't working one 3.7.1?

[Spinball]

Nice hack.
For 3.7.1 the position of the Request Username link in Admin CP could be better. How about in the Miscellaneous group further up rather than at the bottom?

Also could you sort the requests with the most recent at the top? We have several hundred in the list which take *ages* to load, so paginating the requests would be nice, too.

And lastly, I would remove the exclamation mark from the rejected PM title as this might incite the recipient to be even more upset than they already might be. And I would quote the rejected name in the PM in case the recipient forgot what name he requested.

Otherwise it seems to be working fine with 3.7.1 PL1

[edit: Oh and why are there .DS_Store files in every folder of your zip? They are an annoyance]

[Alex@Mk3OC]

[edit: Oh and why are there .DS_Store files in every folder of your zip? They are an annoyance]Thanks for the suggestions! While the back end could be improved, I will improve it. :) Also, the ! in the title is because it is THE same phrase used for the acceptance. And the .DS_Store files are OS X files. They are completely irrelevant to the mod.

[Conspiracy]

I've installed this on Vb 3.6.10 and everything seems to be fine, except I am sure I am being stupid but I can't find where to change the permissions for the usergroup, I've looked in usergroup manager and there appears to be nothing there to allow groups to request name changes. Some help please?

[King Kovifor]

Did you upload all the .xml files?

[Conspiracy]

Did you upload all the .xml files?

Ah I just checked and Bitfield_unreq did not upload for some reason, I've put it in now and all seems to be working fine, thanks for your help :up:

[EagleNick]

Any word on if this works with 3.7.2 ?

Thanks :)

[King Kovifor]

I believe it does.
