Delete own account [Deleted]

[wang]

wang submitted a new resource:

Delete own account - Allow users to delete their own accounts

About this add-on

This simple add-on is designed to give groups the ability to delete their own accounts based on group permissions.

Permissions

• Delete own accounts. It can be found under the General permission set.

Once you set the permissions for groups to be able to delete their own accounts, they will see a link, Delete Account, on their visitor drop down navigation menu. The link will take them to a page where they can confirm the deletion...

Is there any type a grace period for users to confirm or disregard?
Alerts to staff?

No sir, there is not. What you see at the screenshots and description is what you get.

Ok, simple and to the point. Thanks for prompt reply.

There is Self Delete add-on with grace period but had critical bugs.

Was comparing functionality to
https://xenforo.com/community/resources/wmtech-user-self-delete-lite.1454/
However, adding a link in member account sidebar would be a great addition.
Either way it does what it's meant to do, short and simple.

Added it manually through account_wrapper template
adding code for link/phrase

Edit: Ultimately I created a template modification for the link.

Seems like a simple thing I should be able to do but I can't get the backround color around the "delete account" to match the rest of drop down menu...is there a specific spot I can edit for just the backround of this new menu item?

 

[wang]

That link is added at the navigation_visitor_tab template modification. But the forum must be in dev mode for that to be edited.

What does deleting ones account do? Remove every reference to their user name/account from forums including posts threads profile posts etc? Or are posts turned to guest etc?

They will appear as guest. It is the same thing when the admin deletes an uer from the admin panel. Only in this case, the users can delete their own accounts.

I myself am a bit confused as to the choice of default code used in template modifications.

navigation_visitor_tab current default

$0

<xen:if is="{$visitor.permissions.general.deleteOwnAccounts}">
     <li><a class="{xen:if "{$selectedKey} == 'account/deleteaccount'", 'secondaryContent', 'primaryContent'}" href="{xen:link account/delete-account}">{xen:phrase wang_delete_own_account}</a></li>
</xen:if>

Removed Class for this template as it shows in original template. This will solve background issue.

$0

<xen:if is="{$visitor.permissions.general.deleteOwnAccounts}">
     <li><a href="{xen:link account/delete-account}">{xen:phrase wang_delete_own_account}</a></li>
</xen:if>

account_wrapper uses that class for anyone that wants to put link on sidebar of member accounts.

$0

<xen:if is="{$visitor.permissions.general.deleteOwnAccounts}">
     <li><a class="{xen:if "{$selectedKey} == 'account/deleteAccount'", 'secondaryContent', 'primaryContent'}"
href="{xen:link account/delete-account}">{xen:phrase wang_delete_own_account}</a></li>
</xen:if>

The Find: portion of template modification can place the link where desired. Hope this helps.

You are welcome. @davs I must have missed @wang comment. I never mentioned that debug mode must be enabled to make these edits. In case anyone needs the info.

It's make useless all plugins for troll or multi account detection. It's better to place self deleted users to custom user group and delete all private information (conversation, about, avatar and etc)

I can develop those things that you mentioned if you are willing to fund their developement.

It does not touch post deleting at all. Al it does is what it says, it adds a permission for users to delete their account.
