<font size="4">Username Management - Version 1.04</font>

Hack: Username Management
Version: v1.04

With this modification installed you can let your members change their own username, or let Staff members change the usernames of other members.

Also a history of previously used names for a member is kept.

- Users can change their own username controlled by Usergroup Permissions. If needed a time limit between changes can be set.
- Staff can change the Username of other members. This is again controlled by Usergroup Permissions.

- Full searchable history of Username changes in AdminCP
- Fully Phrased
- Optimized for server performance
- Documented API for addon developers

If you are running version 1.00 and have problems viewing your Private Message, please apply the following fix (thanks to mini2 for pointing it out and providing the fix):
Goto AdminCP->Plugin System->Plugin Manager.
Click on Edit behind plugin 'Add Username history to postbit(legacy)'
In the Hook Location dropdown, change 'postbit_display_complete' to 'postbit_factory' (2 lines higher) and Save. All should be fixed now.

Better is to upgrade to 1.01, all known problems have been fixed.

Awesome. I am definitely going to install this hack for all my premium users too! :) Thanks.

One thing, do you think you can make a mini addon for Previous usernames too? That would be useful so users may notice the user's previous names anytime, just like this forum. http://forums.adventchildren.net/member.php?u=1

Help...My postbit_legacy

This seems to work even if you don't edit the postbit legacy. But...
And I get this error also...

PHP Code:


		
			
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 200

You kinda alrady can do this (only the list of old names), but i forgot to add that to the documentation. Will see if i can add this to the documentation today.

PS That would basically just require you to create a new plugin with (almost) the same code as the Postbit plugin, and the same edits to the template.

When do you get this error, and what vB version are you using? Did you rebuild the bitfields as instructed? Are all files uploaded (in ASCII) correct?

It created the history table without the table prefix as well...thought you'd care to know....

But I installed it anyway and it seems to work fine now :)

Thanks

Thanks for this, I somehow missed the table_prefix on that create statement. Fixed in my copy now, will update zip later today.

Could you please be more specific, i couldn't find a missing $ in the install code (or was it somewhere else?)

I did forget to clickinstall didn't I...whoops :p

all your db variables that you need to write changes to the database were missing their "$" in front of it

ie I changed:

Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_write

                (        "ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup ADD column (mh_unm_permissions INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL

                ,        mh_unm_changelimit TINYINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 30 NOT NULL

                ,        mh_unm_viewhistorylimit TINYINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL

        )"

        );

Code:

$vbulletin->$db->query_write

                (        "ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup ADD column (mh_unm_permissions INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL

                ,        mh_unm_changelimit TINYINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 30 NOT NULL

                ,        mh_unm_viewhistorylimit TINYINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL

        )"

        );

and thats the only way it wrote to my tables...

There should be no $ in front of 'db', there is already 1 in front of vbulletin ($vbulletin->db->....)

Please disable the product, i will find what is causing this and uplaod an update.

In fact, I can (of course) leave the product enabled and just disable the plugin for showing it in postbit(legacy) and everything else works swimmingly.

Fixed it, PM sent.....

Turning off the legacy plugin fixed my problem too...

Found something else...

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /public_html/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php(1719) : eval()'d code on line 5

when I tried editing via the profile link (changes it...no record to the database though) & when I made an edit to change it back from the AdminCP...same error

a) the .com part isn't included...i'm no expert...so exuse my ignorance when I say "why?" :p
b) class_dm_user.php wasn't in my install package

I wouldnt want this feature in the forums, ONLY IN THEIR PROFILE. please keep the "hover effect" like MarcoH64 already has it.

I actually never looked at ebay, and also didn't really read the suggestions made.

I will post a profile modification like suggested as an Addon Coding Example tomorrow.

This hack can now easily be used in other places by Addon developers, just a few lines of coding in a plugin needed.

Yes, all known bugs have been fixed, and some extra's added (mostly prepairing for future addons).

jugo	11-22-2005 07:53 PM

I have an issue. After I installed this:

Whenever i try and add a new group or edit an existing group's properties it runs Rebuild Bitfields in a loop.

Tell me that it has nothing to do with this hack so I can move on and explore other causes.

Marco van Herwaarden

11-22-2005 08:13 PM

What version of vB?

Sounds like the same as what Andreas hack was suffering from first. Do you have Signature Limits installed?

Will do some testing.

Marco van Herwaarden

11-22-2005 08:26 PM

Just tested adding a new usergroup to my testboard, and i have no problems running a clean vB3.5.1 with version 1.01 of this hack.

PS Can you change the usergroups, if you disable the Product and temporary remove the ./includes/xml/bitfield_mh_unm.xml

Thanks, is there an option to display a page of who changed their names?

Marco van Herwaarden

11-22-2005 09:17 PM

Hmm a recent changes list, sounds like a good idea. Expect an update tomorrow to make that possible. Where would you like to see that?

You can now only search in the AdminCP for names and see the list of changes.

I can't edit my postbit like Instructed but, it does work and the rebuild error I'm getting is caused by another hack. Thanks a million. Works perfect. I'm on version 3.5.

Marco van Herwaarden

11-22-2005 09:59 PM

Without th edited postbit all will still work, you just don't see history in postbit.

PS Try with a fresh style, or revert your postbit (will remove all modifications) so you can start fresh.

Marco...

It was the signature limits thingy...lol.

Funny thing is that it never reared it's head until i installed this..so i disabled it for now (The sig limits) until I can get it sorted.

Thanks.
