Username Request

[King Kovifor]

Introduction
I was looking through the Modification Requests forum here and found a pretty good idea. The basic idea was to add a list of users who would like a name change for the administrators. I added the basics and released it. In consecutive versions I have added the abilities and features you have requested and this is the product. It is morphing into a more powerful, more useful system each and every version.

The Tools

User Tools
Inside the User Control Panel, there is an area that is added where a user is given the ability to submit a username that they would like their name changed to. They receive PM updates depending upon the "status" of their request, whether it is Accepted or Rejected.

Administrative Tools
As soon as a request is added to the database, the specified administrator is sent an e-mail saying that a user would like a username request. Inside the Administrators Control Panel, a new section is added under the "Users" navigation tab, that lists all the "Pending" requests with the ability to "Reject" or "Approve" the request. A user will be notified via PM when an action is taken. When a username is approved, the system will automatically change the username.

Username History
This tool will list all username changes that a user has requested. It will also display the status of the request, meaning that if you reject it, this will be displayed. This tool will be built upon in a later version.

Username History Changes:
In the next version, the status of a username change request has been revamped and no longer includes hard-coded "Accepted", "Rejected", and "Requested" status values. More information will be given at the release of v1.1.0!

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.

Installation
Installing the product is easy. Just follow these steps:
Upload Files into your Administrators Control Panel directory.
Import the product through the Product Manager.
Click Install Here
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.

Big Thanks!
I would like to give a big thanks to Paul M for helping me with my stupid mistakes in v1.0.4 - v1.0.6! Now all of my mistakes should be taken care of (unless I made a mistake in the disallowed if statement). Thanks Paul!

I would also like to say thanks to Marco for pointing out a possible SQL Injection that was in v1.0.4 - v1.0.6 (It was inside the ACP, and used a wrong variable name / clean type).

And to Dannyloski for fixing my modification on his forum and providing the fix here. :) Much faster than I did it.

Final Remarks
I hope that you will enjoy this product as much as I enjoyed making it.

Cool Mod,

Thanks! :up:

[stwilson]

Sweet. I can use this. It would be nice if the admin received some kind of notice of the request. A check of existing user names would also be beneficial....I'm sure you already have thought of these...but just wanted to mention it. Thanks for the mod.

[chatzworld]

very good work and very easy to install cant wait to see more usefull features :)

[Distance]

Agreed. If this was implemented I would definately install this.

Distance

[PinkDaisy]

Sweeeet! Installed and working great so far.

Can this be integrated to work maybe with Icash or a points system to be charged when they request this??

[steadicamop]

This is a sweet mod, been waiting for something like for a long time - but ..... am I right in thinking the changes have to be done manually? There's no button for "approve" so it can be done from the Username Requests page?

Cracking work though, glad someone finally brought this one out :D

[ndahiya]

If this hack could be extended for custom field change requests, it would be extremely helpful. In our forums, we have some custom fields that are normally not editable by members. now they end up writing to the mods to change the data....

[rjmjr69]

Nice nice

[Alibass]

What am I missing here! Where is the product to upload?

[Hornstar]

Okay awesome some questions or suggestions.

1. what happens if the username they request is already in use?
2. I only allow letters and numbers on my site for usernames, can I limit there requests to numbers and letters only? if not, can you please add this feature.
3. in admincp when i view username requests, does it have the option to accept it, or do i have to manually change it still.

Otherwise awesome work!

[MThornback]

This has amazing potential....i'm going to hold off on installing it just now to see where you go with it....but I'll be watching :D

[Robru]

Nice hack :)

[MrPHD]

Installed and running, Nice work thanks

[EnIgMa1234]

Is it possible to add a change button in the admincp to automatically change the username

[Milad]

You can cancel the template edits for 3.6.6+, try to use the new template hooks

[projectego]

Excellent idea! This should be a feature built into vBulletin. ;)

[Magnumutz]

Indeed, integrate this with a points system or a Post Thankyou hack and it would be soo cool dude.
Something like: "You need X points or X thanks to be able to request a new username."

[Alibass]

Product Upload? Probably you mean the Product to Import 'product-kk_request_un.xml'. It's located inside the ZIP file!!!
Thanks m8 my bad. I had Explore set on filmstrip view and I didn't see the .xml file.

Nice mod, installed.

I agree with the one feature request of a PM or email notification for the admin when a member request a name change. :)

[txspaderz]

I'm going to hold off as well as this is a great idea with an unbelieveable growth potential.

[Seiyaboy]

I like the idea alot. But since my site is a pretty big one, I'll take some time to backup mySQL. I'll let the other users test it first. Thanks again for this wonderful modification.

[Snake]

This is a great hack but I was wondering if it's possible to add an optional ACP feature where users are able to edit their usernames by themselves in the User CP, just like the others, y'know.

[King Kovifor]

WOW. Let me just say that. A lot of installs in about 24 hours.

The features I plan to add (as some of you suggested) are:
Minimum Post Amount (!)
User PMs: One for Accepted and one for Rejected (!)
Admin Notifications (!)
Automatic Update of Username (ACP)
Username Checking (!)
Better error checking & handling
Phrased
Username Limits Checking (!)
Points Integration (Name a few)

(!) denotes completed.

The reason I have the template edit is that I have 3.6.4 installed locally and haven't been able to update it.

I'm glad to see that you guys have helped each other, and really enjoy this mod. I would love feature requests!

Too bad that this hack won't work. But the idea is really good :)

What is not working properly? I would be glad to have a look at it.

If this hack could be extended for custom field change requests, it would be extremely helpful. In our forums, we have some custom fields that are normally not editable by members. now they end up writing to the mods to change the data....

Just change the text in all the places. That way you'll have "username requests" but for the field.

Okay awesome some questions or suggestions.

1. what happens if the username they request is already in use?
2. I only allow letters and numbers on my site for usernames, can I limit there requests to numbers and letters only? if not, can you please add this feature.
3. in admincp when i view username requests, does it have the option to accept it, or do i have to manually change it still.

Otherwise awesome work!

Number 2 I might have to work on but the other ones definitely.

This is a great hack but I was wondering if it's possible to add an optional ACP feature where users are able to edit their usernames by themselves in the User CP, just like the others, y'know.

Maybe another hack!

[G0F0RBR0KE]

Possible if you can make this for 3.5.x?

[Hornstar]

looks forward to your list being completed, those are features i will need to wait for. thanks :)

[Triky]

Nice mod! :)

[chatzworld]

hay is their a way you can make the mod change the username by a click of a button? and it will auto send the pm to say its been done rather than having to view the request, go into the user's account and settings :) just a thought

[King Kovifor]

Possible if you can make this for 3.5.x?

I could try, but I don't see why this wouldn't work. I only have a 3.6.7 board installed.

That's another mod that I'm going to build after this one.

[FreshFroot]

great stuff@ such a great hack!

[bornoffire]

Edit: Figured it out, thank you

[subzero06]

Is it just me or you didn't uploaded the files right?? i only see some ds.store files.

[bornoffire]

When upgrading do i just need to upload xml file or do i have to upload everything all over?

[stwilson]

Like SubZero mentioned...I think some of the files are missing. [:)]

[jagari]

Useless. The files needed aren't even in them. LOL

[G0F0RBR0KE]

I install and yet it doesn't work. Running up to date

[mrahul]

can this be permitted to certain usergroups alone ?

[FreshFroot]

hmm let me try a whack at this..

[FreshFroot]

not working for me either...

[chatzworld]

is their a way you can stop auto-name changing?

[bc3tech]

1.0.1 doesn't have anything to upload in its ZIP file. just the product XML - is this expected??

[chatzworld]

from what i remember it is just a xml file :)

[Alibass]

Their was a .php file also.

[subzero06]

LOl nice update with no files

[King Kovifor]

Wow. I feel like an idiot. I'm updating the package right now. He he. That's what releasing it at 11 when you are tired will do. lol.

[bashy]

what are these .ds files that it wants to overwrite on the server?

[King Kovifor]

what are these .ds files that it wants to overwrite on the server?

The .ds files are files that my mac create. They are "datastore" Files. I'm not exactly sure why they are there. Don't need to worry about 'em.

[t325]

Nice start to what we're looking for.

We limit username changes to once every 3 months for a total of 3 per year since some members would change their name every other day if we let them. We use user notes right now to keep track of who changed to what and when, but sometimes we forget to check the notes or forget to add them. It would be nice if you eventually expanded this to implement such limits.

Thanks for the suggestion.... cron job for the 3 per year (to remove the checks)... Checking for the 3 months might be hard... But notes could do it... I'll figure something out!

Technically, your limits could be enforced since this doesn't change them right away - and administrator must approve them.

[FreshFroot]

hmm it works fine in the ACP, but I don't see a username request link in the regular usercp anywhere...

[King Kovifor]

hmm it works fine in the ACP, but I don't see a username request link in the regular usercp anywhere...

It should be under the last category. Under "Miscellaneous".

[G0F0RBR0KE]

What's the point if we don't have the "Approval" option?

I thought we'll get it?

[King Kovifor]

What's the point if we don't have the "Approval" option?

I thought we'll get it?

There is an approval option... Unless I somehow totally screwed up the package, I'm not sure what happened. It should be in the ACP.

It should say:

CURRENT USERNAME | REQUESTED USERNAME | Approve - Reject

in the three columns.

[glorify]

I am getting an uncached template message in usercp.php:

Uncached templates: modifyusername_usercp (1)

Are all the templates cached?

[FreshFroot]

It should be under the last category. Under "Miscellaneous".
it's not there... which is why I posted.. you sure everything works fine with the new updated one? I uploaded, installed plugin the ACP seems to work, just not the usercp area.

[G0F0RBR0KE]

^Disable the modification and enable it again.

I'll upload the new file and see what I get this time.

Here's a suggestion that would accomplish this task....add the ability for this MOD to create a new thread in a designated forum, just like you can with the contact us page. That would allow you to keep an archive and would be a simple addition to the mod. You could have it post the thread as the user who is submitting the request, allowing a site owner to keep track. Naturally, as a site admin the forum ID would point to a forum that only administrators or moderators have access to.

[stwilson]

BTW...mine is working fine. I was able to submit, receive PM and approve the change without any issue. Nice MOD.

[MThornback]

When you use Princetons usercp shell template mod it puts the link at the bottom of the page...but aside from that, it works great :) installed and just moved the link manually :)

[Akiia]

Nice mod, Installed and this should stop those annoying pm's people send to us.

Um. Are you sure you have 1.0.1?

[jagari]

Doesn't work for me :(

[King Kovifor]

Doesn't work for me :(

If you mean the User CP thing, it requires template hooks.

[King Kovifor]

What do you mean? The link is at the bottom due to the placement of $template_hook[usercp_shell_bottom] (or whatever the Template Hook is)!

[jagari]

The admincp thing is ok, not in user cp though :(

[King Kovifor]

What part specifically?

[Seiyaboy]

If that is the case, you have to manually insert "profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=requestusername" as link a into the usercp_shell template. Manual editing of templates are pretty common when you use an outdated version of a custom styled template for your vbulletin. For me, I had to manually edit it in, but I find no problem doing some. You shouldn't either.

[Censtudios]

I have vbulletin 3.6.7 but I dont know how to add the cells... I did it once but when I changed my template I had to do it again and somehow the README doesnt say how.... I forgot where I read how to do it o_O

If you add the required template hook at the bottom of the template it works. But I'll write instructions later for it.

[FreshFroot]

I had the same issue.. already posted about it.. mabye you could write a quick template edit of the user cp?

EDIT: just read your updated hack post.. my vB isn't 3.6.6..

time to upgrade :D

[d2sector]

Is it possible to enter in more than one user id to be notified?

[chatzworld]

great update love it!

can it be made to more than one person recives a Change Request?

[akanevsky]

This is a good hack, however the following features would make it more complete:
1) An "approve" button, which would change the person's username fully (that includes posts and everything else)
2) A username history in every user's profile.

[King Kovifor]

I'm not sure. I haven't tested it. :( If you want to test it go ahead.

Yeah I will sooner or later. Busy.

Same as above. Not sure about the PMs...

1) An "approve" button, which would change the person's username fully (that includes posts and everything else)
2) A username history in every user's profile.

1) We have. ACP -> "Approve - Reject". Approve changes it, sends out a pm, updates the tables and everything else.
2) Maybe...

You haven't even installed it.

[chatzworld]

i think the username history would be good feature but i would say NOT to have it in the user profile but in the user management page in the admincp :)

[akanevsky]

You haven't even installed it.

I sometimes comment on hacks that I see that they could be improved even I am not interested in installing them.
As to this particular hack, I am not planning to install it until username history is implemented. :)

ACP is too long a walk. :) It's better to have it show up in public profiles, but only for staff.

Why would the ACP be too long a walk. I mean that you as an admin are the only one with user editing permissions (right?)... So why?

That's what I was thinking.

[Magnumutz]

Indeed, i got a mile of a list on my usergroups permisions, but i don't mind, it's supposed to be this way, so i can control the community easier, besides as King Kovifor said, i'm the ONLY one editing them.

Thanks Good Job !

[txsbmw]

Is there anyway to have an option where the user can input why they want the username change? Reason, I ask is we rarely will allow username changes (such as they are being stalked on-line, they created their e-mail address as their username, or other identifiable info as their username like a first name or initials). Would save us time having to reply and ask them why they want the name change.

Would also be great if we could track the username changes as well (maybe the info getting inserted into user notes so admins and mods can quickly view the history).

The reason, good idea. The history I plan on modifying the way I handle requests in the ACP (and adding a value to the table) to handle history.

[Mythotical]

Gotta agree, I would rather see an username history in the profile as I feel it would be a better way of viewing things as everything now is ran through the ACP why not have it ran for once through the profile or make an option in the settings to turn it on or off.

I plan on developing the next version full swing starting tomorrow. Been out all week... Also, got another username related hack on the way. Continue posting your feature requests.

[King Kovifor]

Just a quick update:

I have modified the queries and tables and stuff to include a username history part. I've added usergroup permissions but haven't used them yet.

[ChU v2]

Can you implement like a usertitle request to this as well?

[bada_bing]

This would be nice if it used usergroup permissions

[King Kovifor]

Can you implement like a usertitle request to this as well?

THat would be another hack, but you could always utilize it by changing some of the text.

That's coming. :D

Hi this mod shows on my defaul skin but not on my other two skins ! How can i make it show on greenfox and element skin. Or what template should i edit ? oh i use 3.6.7

Nice mod btw =p

[FireFish]

I tried implementing this but cannot seem to find the user's input area to change their username.
I did modify some display settings in my UserCP area; assuming this could be conflicting, is there a way to manually add this to your UserCP rather than relying on your XML?


(Disregard this post; I figured it out)

Is your default skin have any edited templates? Like any user CP templates? And same with the other two? It needs the $template_hook[] in there.

What about an automatic paypal option, charging a donation per change? This would really make it interesting. I' m sure members will pay a small donation for a name change!

[King Kovifor]

I don't know. Probably not...

[dutchbb]

Most members that want their name changed , really want it, actually some have even asked me to pay a few bucks for it. Why not automate this process, I'm sure the people that really want it will pay a small donation for the community.

[LewisAinslie]

Because some people wont be able to pay for it and if they turn it on and it is optional then its obvious what they are going to choose.

[King Kovifor]

Most members that want their name changed , really want it, actually some have even asked me to pay a few bucks for it. Why not automate this process, I'm sure the people that really want it will pay a small donation for the community.

My reasoning for this would because I'd need to learn a new technology I don't want to, and not everybody can use it.

If you want to, in v1.0.3, there's usergroup permissions. Set up a subscription and add make it a week long thing. Only allow that group to change names.

[King Kovifor]

REQUEST:

What permissions would you like to be handled? For user group that is...

The ACP back-end is handled through default vBulletin Admin Permissions (canadminusers), and the front end is having two custom permissions:

can_view_un_history (for Username History Features) and...
can_change_un (for user name change)

Is there any other permissions you would like applied? And would you rather wait another week or two after I finish to phrase this, or would you prefer me do a v1.0.4 dedicated to phrasing?

[txsbmw]

Are you going to be adding a reason for username request in this update? (user must give reason?) if so maybe permissions to handle who can see the reasons they gave for each change request as well.

[King Kovifor]

Are you going to be adding a reason for username request in this update? (user must give reason?) if so maybe permissions to handle who can see the reasons they gave for each change request as well.

If I added reasons, it would in the user name history, meaning only people who can view history can view that.

[txsbmw]

That's fine with me and works well with the set up for permissions I have now.

[King Kovifor]

Right now there aren't any permissions.

[txsbmw]

I was talking about the permissions I have for user notes already in place.

[King Kovifor]

oh...

[AsilentFart02]

Marked as Installed. Very nice hack, thanks alot.

Good idea. When do you expect it to come out (the new release). Sorry if this has already been answered.

[King Kovifor]

I'm not sure. I still have to do the whole install codes and modify the templates and the whole username history stuff.

[BellyBelly]

I have installed this and went to approve a user name change from *Annie* to alex&oly and I got an error which I accidently didnt copy properly... but something about it having too many invalid characters or something (more than 3?) and to go back and do it again.

I then checked to see if the name been changed and it hadn't, so I clicked back and tried again and got this:

... this code went on for the whole page. When I went back to the requests, it had disappeared, still no change.

When I went to change the other request, jessiemon to devilchild13 then it did work fine.

Any ideas? Is this because there were the two ** and the one & and it didnt like it?

[King Kovifor]

I'm guessing somehow the ** and the & screwed it up. And/Or for the error the first time you approved it removed it (hitting back wouldn't show this exchange). Guess I need to test that.

Nice Mod.

I have 3.6.5 and I want to install this mod. What do you mean by "(unless you manually edit the USERCP_SHELL template and add the cell)
To install..."

???

Please help me how can I do that?

Thanks

[King Kovifor]

Why not upgrade?

But you need to copy the template directly into the USERCP_SHELL template, or add the correct template hook. I think it's $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom] and it goes at the bottom of the USERCP_SHELL navbar section. That's all that is needed.

I have run out of my time limit to download latest versions.

I try to do as you have guided. Will come back

[King Kovifor]

It must be done to all styles. Or just upgrade your forum to vB 3.6.7PL1 and revert all your USERCP_SHELL templates.

[Invalid ID]

No, I am afraid I can't do this

[King Kovifor]

Would you like me to do it for you? Send admin details through PM and I'll get to adding the correct code.

[Invalid ID]

Thanks a lot, but that's not safe sir

[King Kovifor]

Thanks a lot, but that's not safe sir

Your choice. Just need the $template_hook[] added.

Great Mod and have installed it and working great!

However lol .. within one hour of using it i have stumbled on a slight database error.

Seems to have problems if a user trys to change to a username that has the ' character in it! Due to the way the data is stored to the db, obviously the ' is breaking the data sent and causing an error. However having looked at your code im unsure how to fix this. try it out and you will see what i mean. Any word that is ie... I'M We'll Chris's .. see what i mean?

Sure this is an easy fix but i can't figure it out having tried. Great mod tho.

Clicks Install.

Thanks.

[King Kovifor]

Thanks for that! I would have thought that the $user->verify_username() would have caught that. I will check it later.

[hdvbforum]

Unfortunately, I cannot see where you can accept / decline the changes under the Users section in admincp.

Though I can see in the usercp where to change the username.
I've tried vBulletin options, does anyone know where I import the files onto my server?

You can even go to vBulletin.com site and they say to turn it on. The reason being is that its just a notice and not an error. Nothing to worry about.

Using 3.6.7 PL1.

First off, installed per instructions... Seen the settings in "vBulletin Options" in admincp, fine.

In usercp, no link to change username. Had to read through this thread to find out how to add the link, (Ok, but should have instructions on this in the download).

Clicked on request username, got no permission: Username Request Permissions: Your group does not have the necessary permissions required to request a username change.

I have more than the required posts set in the Request username options. And there is no options for it in the usergroup manager.

Uninstalling.

Don't worry, King Kovifor. It's not your fault. Sometimes there would be some incapability for certain forums. It happens a lot to people if they went crazy to customizing, and it is likely that some modifications would produce problems when used with other modifications. The best solution for me now is to revert it. I'll just see if any other person might have it backed up.

You click on the page and it's profile.php?do=requestusername and it is blank? Seems like your plugin is disabled.

[Danny W]

No, it just loads to 'profile.php', nothing after it. Its after I enter my username request and click on 'Save Changes'

EDIT: Nevermind I got it working...for some reason when I install the plugin, the template called modifyusername was being created by an old admin who worked on the same site as me, so I just reverted it and now works :)

[SOL-R]

Hi King! Great Mod! Thanks!

Can you add more than one admin to the notify list?

In the acp is it suppose to show requests with a number behind it or just requests?

Also can you add in for the mod to add a note to the persons profile such as in this mod
Automatically Create Usernote on Username Change (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1307471#post1307471)

That way when you click ok to approve the name change it adds the note. That would be great if you could do that.

Thanks

SOL

[King Kovifor]

I've never tested it with more then one admin. That would be a good feature... The link is supposed to say "Requests" but I think there is a hook for the index file I could add the number of requests... I have built a username history for this mod.

The reason it is way down in "Miscellaneous" is because of template hook locations. I've suggested template hooks in all those locations, but none have been added... It was moved to remove hassle on admins who have to install this.

As I am developing v1.0.5, I feel that it should not be released to the public until I am sure this version actually works... As of this, I am going to have a "Private Beta" period where several users will install and test this. If you would like to apply, PM me. You must have an active e-mail address.

umm, I had no problems with this mod until the update that just came out; I uploaded all 2 files & reimported the XML overwriting it & now, when users try to change their username, it says that their Usergroup doesn't have permission for this.

So, I checked the Usergroup permissions after refreshing my AdminCP & nothing there + I checked Username Requests in vBulletin Options & again, no options with User Groups mentioned there.

What gives?

(p.s. - running vb version 3.6.8)

[King Kovifor]

There were major problems. They are all fixed in a version that I have ready that is in testing.

It's in your User CP Shell Template.

Okay, when can we expect an update that works again?

Probably tomorrow so I can get it packaged and everything.

I have this usergroup permissions problem too. :rolleyes:

This has been fixed. I could also give you a quick fix here if you'd like.

[King Kovifor]

Edit the .xml file on your hard drive. Change this code:

<installcode><![CDATA[$vbulletin->db->query("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup` ADD `unreq_perms` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL") ;]]></installcode>

to:

<installcode><![CDATA[//$vbulletin->db->query("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup` ADD `unreq_perms` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL") ;]]></installcode>


That should fix your problem if you are getting that error.

it's doesn't work :(

[King Kovifor]

OK. Try to remove:
$vbulletin->db->query("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup` ADD `unreq_perms` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL");

from the code all together. Since you installed 1.0.4 and it was in there (trying to re add it since some people didn't install 1.0.4).

[BBF]

ok it's works :)
i am just remove the previous version and install this version :)
hope it's work fine

[Stifler]

hmm.. where do u set usergroup permissions? the new version seems to have borked my permissions..

[King Kovifor]

That should work too.

[King Kovifor]

User group permissions should be under usergroup permissions. Are they not there? I have had this installed by several people and they have had not trouble.
