ty, installed and works perfect

Someone else had asked a question of how we could run that maintenance script.. can you assist? I have a couple of mods that don't update the names, mainly VB Journal and VB Gallery. I'm sure there's plenty of other mods where the usernames aren't being updated too.. thanks.

I tried to install this on a 3.5.4 board, and I got "action cancelled" errors in the admincp main window, whenever I wanted to edit a template.

I really really want this hack for 3.5.4 :(

Edit: looking back a page, you say it works fine with 3.5.4... I'll make a test board and try again.

Edit edit:

Ok this is very strange indeed. I installed a new board - tested to see that editing templates worked - then just uploaded the FILES of this hack. Being overly cautious, i then checked again, and lo and behold; the errors were there again when I tried to edit a template. I hadn't even changed any files or overwritten anything.

Yet more strange: I deleted those files and the problem remained.

I'm actually on 3.5.4 and it works fine, except vbjournal doesn't get updated..

I have followed the install instructions, but I think there is a problem with .php files now being .htm files...would rebuilding the bitfields AFTER updating the templates effect it?

Is this working for version 3.6 or will there be an update available soon?

I installed in 3.6 beta 4 without any problem.

There's only one minor issue which I'm sure applies to any version it's installed in; hover on username to view history doesn't work in Opera.

Marco:

Do you think you could write this so if a member changes their username the original username can't be used by someone else until a certain time frame went by?

For example. Let's say I have a member by the name of William Fawkes and he decides he wanta to change his username to Bill Jones. Some else comes along and chooses William Fawkes for his username. I would like it so if someone else has used the username before someone else wouldn't be allowed to unless the original member said it was ok to give it up or a certain time frame had gone by.

I will try to install this tommorow, did anybody have any problems with this to install on a 3.5.2 board?

Installed and works like a charm so far!! :)

Thanks!!

love this hack, but can someone help me out here. I set things up so moderators have permissions to change other's usernames.....but when I go into the modcp there is nothing listed. I'm sure I just have to edit the /modcp/index.php file and point it to the mh_unm_modusername.php, but I'm just not 100% sure how to do that. Basically I'm just looking for a solution to fix it so mods can do more then just "view profile". I want them to be able to edit them as well incase they need to change names, etc....

serious problem for some reason when changing usergroup permissions i get this error and then redirected and it wont save the permissions. I am using 3.5.0

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_core.php on line 635

I also get this error when updating bitfields. Is there something up with it?

could it be another hack interfering with yours it doesnt do it on my test forum but its running 3.5.4

can we get this going with 3.6?

I would love to use this with 3.6!

I tried this with 3.6 but comes up with a error saying the username is already in use no matter what username i put in.

Anyone else had any luck with getting this to work in 3.6?

I have it running fine in 3.6
But i dont use the postbit feature. I also have deactivated the plugins for showthread.

I too would like this for my 3.6 board. This is a great hack!

I think Marco has given up on all his hacks for some reason.

Is there anyone else who is using this on VB 3.6 or 3.6.1 respectively?

Also what exactly is the "postbit feature' of this?

Thanks

Doug

To let everyone know, I just installed this on 3.6.0, and it works fine. I tested everything out. I'm going to upgrade to 3.6.1 and i'll come back and let everyone know if it worked. I didn't disable anything like the guy above said he had to do.

Has anybody got this to work with 3.6.1? If so, please post exactly what you had to do to get to work.

Thanks,

Tane

I use it on vbulletin 3.6.0, 3.6.1 and 3.6.2
All work fine.
The postbit feature is show on mouse over the username, the last username before change it. But it add many querys to the showthreads page, so i deactivate the plugin "Add Username history to postbit(legacy)"
I think that the best way is send the last username to a new field in the user table, the the main query will call the history avoiding any extra query on showthread.
Still trying.

Cya!

We need this for 3.6.2 baddd

I just installed it on 3.6.2. First thing I notice is that usernames show duplicated on the posts:

User User

Any idea how to fix this?

It does not work for 3.6.2 ?

Bummer, i was counting on this mod. I need it more than baaaad.

It works. Sort of. See my post right above yours.

Is this gonna work just fine on v3.6.3? Can someone please confirm this?

It's working for me on 3.6.2

*Confirmed

Marco, I don't see the username change fields while in the Edit Password. It was working before but not now after I've moved servers. Any idea?

Will this work on VB 3.6 ? Would like to install if it does.

Yes it does.

I ended up writing a whole hack for reducing queries on showthread.php because I didn't realize this hack was causing it...

Acido's suggestion to add last username to the users table sounds like something I will do.

thanks.
installed.

thanks.

installed...

Any ports for 3.6.4 in progress?

I have been waiting for this, too.

Well, this morning I try to give this a shot on my 3.6.4 board.
Guess what? After doing ALL the necessary template edits it just works without further editing...:p


So, reported working in 3.6.4 :)

There are slight bugs in 3.6 ... Which have been posted a few pages back -.-
