While this is in-use on a couple of my sites (and has been for years), I'm going to call it "beta" for now in case anything unforeseen pops up. If that's the case, it will of course be addressed, but let's just call it beta for now.

You can see it in action on this site:

Redirecting old WordPress media URLs to new URLs after migrating media to R2

For sites that migrate existing media to R2, it makes sense in most cases to redirect the old URL to the new URL. You are able to do it easily with a single Cloudflare Redirect Rule (in your Cloudflare dashboard under Rules -> Redirect Rules -> Create Rule) like so: Rule name Redirect local...

Awesome. Display names are a great addition. As is a queue system for about edits.

 

[Matt C.]

Well, I might have found your first bug.

I was changing a user's status from unverified to verified and it requires me to have a display name set:



Didn't have anything typed in.

EDIT: Yeah, can't edit any user without having the display name typed in.

digitalpoint updated [DigitalPoint] Profiles with a new update entry:

Fixed display name validation issue

Fixed issue where display name couldn't be blank.

Thanks for the update:

Not critical, but the member tooltip could use some styling updates.





It doesn't flow very well. Maybe use flex to control it a bit better.

Just out of curiosity, if you were to add a profile banner, does it work itself out better? It does attempt to make that look right, but I just noticed the CSS being applied might only be for profiles with a banner (oops).

.memberTooltip--withBanner .memberTooltip-nameWrapper {
    display: inline-grid;
}

 

[Matt C.]

Yeah, having a profile banner fixes it:

digitalpoint updated [DigitalPoint] Profiles with a new update entry:

Username wrap

Fixes username wrap issue on tooltip when there's both a username and a display name and there's no profile banner image.

Awesome job, @digitalpoint loving the feature of the display name in this.

 

[Matt C.]

Only other thing I'll mention is that the font-size of the "@Username" doesn't change without a profile banner either.

.memberTooltip--withBanner .username + .username {
  font-size: 50%;
}

Ya, I saw that after I pushed the update out. Already fixed on this end, but will hold off on pushing another update for a bit in case there is other stuff that pops up.

Awesome addon Shawn. I have not installed it yet but here's some suggestions already. Opinionated bunch us lot

Few ideas to bounce off you to make this more feature rich:
1. Vanity profile URLs - claim username vanity URL i.e. myforum.com/members/wickedusername instead of /wickedusername.140492/. Maybe tie it in with display name. Basically give certain groups ability to claim a vanity URL.

2. Spammer honeytraps are excellent ideas and simple - is there a dedicated log of who triggered those

Well display names aren’t unique, and vanity URLs would need to have something unique to key on (like which profile would you show if you had multiple accounts matching the request/route?). Even if you keyed on username (since it’s unique), honestly I’m not sure it has a lot of value. No one is telling people their profile URL verbally, and then you also need to handle scenarios where a username changes. Truthfully, I’d say the way XenForo does member profiles now (as far as URLs) is probably the best way to do it. Complicating things for no real upside doesn’t seem like a road I’d really want to go down just for sake of doing it.

I personally have never liked vanity URLs (except maybe on twitter or facebook). On XF it seems pointless. Plus the other vanity add-on caused problems with add-ons that had custom profile tabs.

If someone really wanted vanity URLs, I’d think it would be best to have unique vanity URLs that do nothing more than redirect to the real URL. Then at least you don’t end up with things breaking. Something like https://example.com/@DigitalPoint which redirects to the “real” one.

But again… also not something I personally have any interest in.
