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 ...

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

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!

* OOPS *

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

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...

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.

Installed. Works perfectly :) Great job!

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

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.

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.

Do you get any errors when you unzip it?

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.

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...

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

Great mod!

Thanks!

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.

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?

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.

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

Thanks though.

Working on that...

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:

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!! ;)

:)

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:

:)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

This may be added in v1.1.0!

woooooooo! :D

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

hmm, I have updated the files etc...
but the error still remains...:confused:

could be very useful mod if it would work for me...

This works perfectly find for vB v3.6.7!

I will have to look into this. :D

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!

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

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 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!

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.

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?

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.
