Miscellaneous Hacks - [DBTech] Username Change v1 (vB4)

What is Username Change?
Username Change is Brought to you by the Designer of products such as RPG Inferno and Inferno vBShout and the programmer of RPG Integration v3.

Username Change from DragonByte Tech is a modification designed to allow users to change their usernames at will (within your configured limits, of course).

About Username Change
Your members will no longer bug you for username changes, you can let them change it whenever they want!

It also has a history feature in the member profile, showing a list of previous usernames. This history feature uses vBulletin's own Profile Change history - no additional tables needed!

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

Thanks - I was looking for this.

This may have already been noted, but would it be possible to include a star or graphic beside a user's username for say 30-days, if they change their username? This way, it would help other members recognize who the member is, help prevent scamming, etc.

^^^ That's what I was thinking as well...and maybe a way for say instead of a usergroup to allow change of name, maybe have it work with say donation of XX$ to the site and then they can change from there, sort of how it works on xbox live?

Is it possible ton add an option for change author name in a selected post (only available for admin/moderator) ?

These features are currently outside the scope of the modification, but if we ever turn this into a full-fledged username management mod, then we'll be sure to include them

I installed this mod and gave it to my staff members to test.

They changed their suername and it worked, but now when they try posting they get this error :

PHP Code:

Fatal error:  Call to undefined function tt_csv_explode() in /home/public_html/v2/includes/functions_newpost.php(418)  : eval()'d code on line 9 


What should I do ?

[DragonByte Tech]

That error is not caused by this mod per se, another addon doesn't properly handle username changes like vBulletin intended.
This mod follows vBulletin set standards.

works on 4.0.3?

[DragonByte Tech]

I don't see why not, we're running 4.0.3 on our board just fine
4.0.1 is the version it doesn't run on
