Usuailly. if you change a name on there via the acp you have to run a maintanence script to update the gallery information.

IT will not change usernames automatic for external applications that store the username. But i don't see any problems if you would run that maintenance script.

Sounds like a bad integration to me, because it is really simple to create a plugin that acts on a username change.

Can this be implemented with a points system like ebux https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...d=1#post913069

That would be really good if they also had to pay points to change there username

Thanks

Atm there is no version that could integrate these 2.

I was wondering where you run the maintanence script in VB or Photo post and where is it located and actually called. I have a few member names that I changed in VB that I need to update Photopost with ???

Thanks

Please read my question and I dont know if this is a photopost option or a VB option and hoping someone can answer it before I start posting on another board.

Works fine, except when I click on edit username/password/e-mail. When I click submit the result is a blank page (and no change).

Try reuploading all the files. You are the first one to complain about this.

If you continue to have this problem, PM a ACP login so i can have a look.

Anyone have the guts to try this on 3.5.4?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

No guts needed, this works fine with 3.5.4
