[release] Update Username from User CP · **Released**: 11-22-2002

Author: filburt1
Description: Allows users to change their usernames from their user CPs. Protects against picking an existing username.
Demo: None yet
Screenshot: in the below posts.

The idea is from a hack at vB.org but the code is 100% written by me. Requested here at vBT.

I see what you're saying now

It would be even more complicated than the 30-day min time because you'd have to keep a blacklist of usernames. Just ban the members who act bad

As far as number one suggestion. Is there anyway to make it so the ysers previous names show in their profile? Only reason I ask is I have a traders corner on my site. What if someone traded a product with someone else and stiffed them? It would be easy for them to change their name and carry on the site

It would require modifying the db schema. This just a simple mod, jeez

j/k

MAJOR PROBLEM PEOPLE CAN MAKE THESE HUGE NAMES can you make a limit on it ??

filburt1 · #29 11-24-2002, 02:27 AM

Can do...tomorrow

The limit should be 15 like it is when you register. I guess you forgot the maxlength in the code.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
