[DigitalPoint] Profiles 1.0.0

[alfaNova]

What exactly are you asking for? That spiders are prevented from spidering based on a string (the username) existing on any particular page?

Yes, in the posts, profiles and threads, but not only the username, including profile photos and user info (custom user fields).

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

A couple things...

• Use CSS flex for usernames (better handling of long usernames or display names)
• Made change to template modification for better compatibility with custom themes (UI.X 2 in this case)

One suggestion: could you please create a checkmark that resembles the one in the attachment pic?

 

[digitalpoint]

Icons come from FontAwesome, so if you want to change FontAwesome icons, you would need to talk to FontAwesome developers. If you just want to use the solid version of their badge icon, edit the profile_less_macros template and change @fa-var-badge-check to @fa-var-solid-badge-check.

I was thinking... why not automatically set a user’s display name to match their username if no display name has been set yet? That way, newer installations won’t end up with lots of “@” mentions showing instead of names.

It seems like this add-on works best when it’s in place from day one. But on an established forum where display names are introduced later, a lot of users won’t have that field populated, which could lead to a lot of “@” placeholders across the forum.

Display names are never required and not all users can even have display names (it’s based on their user group settings). The “@“ isn’t a placeholder, it’s a designation you are seeing a username.

If you are just trying to avoid ever displaying the @, it’s an easy CSS edit to remove it from usernames (which would effectively be the same thing as setting display names to be the same as usernames).

If I just want this add-on for a verified badge for a certain usergroup, would that work? (Other features are cool though.) And can I change the color so it is not the same as the username color? Thanks!

It doesn’t have a color selector, but it’s easy enough to edit the CSS to do the color.

Thanks. I activated this add-on, how can I remove the @ from usernames? I have change display name set to Never and it is still there.

How would I do this? Thanks!

Edit the profile_less_macros template. Add whatever color you want to the .username--verified:after section and you could just remove the whole .username--at:before section to remove the @.

I tried this add-on and in the online widget and all the usernames run together without a space after the comma. I tried default style and reinstalling, no edits, still happens.

Do you have a screenshot or URL? Maybe using a custom theme that it doesn’t jive with?

@digitalpoint can we use it with user self delete add-on? Because of GPDR we have to replace their names with user id but we should replace their nicknames with their user id. Can you fix that GPDR issue please?

Not really sure what you are asking. There should not be anything preventing it from working with other addons. If it’s giving you a specific error, I can look into why it’s not compatible. If you are asking if it does something different when you have an unrelated third party addon installed (that I know nothing about), no, it doesn’t do anything differently based on things you have installed.

If your addon does something to change their username, the question is best suited for that addon (if you want it to make changes to something else like display name). This addon doesn’t have any control over actions other addons make, so if your inquiry is based on an action a different addon is making, that addon should also be the decider about what changes when that action is performed.

TL;DR: it’s going to be simpler for that addon to make whatever changes it wants to make rather than expect that addon to notify my addon that it performed some random action.

Add-on link: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/liam-w-rip-member-self-delete.5570/

Members would like to delete their nicknames either after uploading this add-on. It's all for GPDR and this add-on only supports username changing. What should we do for GPDR on this add-on?

This addon does nothing as far as GDPR goes. If use of this addon is somehow making your site illegal, honestly your best course of action is to not use it (or at least the parts that are causing legal issues in your jurisdiction). Although if you are just deleting a user account when they request it, I don’t see an issue because the display name would be deleted as part of that.

It's automated. We're in Türkiye and KVKK is some kind of alternative of GPDR. If a user wants to delete their account on our forum we should delete it. On a 1M account forum you need some automation for your work. That's why I asked you these things. But it's not okay for you, just okay. Thanks for your time!

Ya, if the account is being deleted, there really shouldn’t be anywhere that the display name is being cached like XenForo does with usernames. So if the account is deleted, all record of the display name (would be wiped from that action already).
