Could someone please help me understand what this option is for? Does it send a notice to a user if an admin changes that user's username in the ACP? By what method is the notice sent?

Admin Username Notices
Send notices on admincp username change by default

Also, what's the useress_payment_callback.php file for, do we need to upload that? The contents are exactly the same as the payment_callback.php included with Xenforo, except a comment has been added.

This controls if the checkbox is ticked by default for sending notices when you rename someone's account from the admincp.

XF 1.5.8 fixed payment_callback.php to permit extending, but the useress_payment_callback.php file has to remain for backwards compatibility with older subscriptions setup previously and to work with older versions of XF.

I'm running XF 1.5.8, and about to upgrade that to the latest version..

I'm upgrading User Essentials from 2.6.5 which didn't have this file, so am I safe to assume I don't require it then?

User Essentials 2.6.5 actually requires it but for some reason didn't include it in all versions.

Xon updated User Essentials with a new update entry:

2.7.5 - Maintenance update

• Improve robustness of the installer's legacy code upgrade path
  
• Actually implement batched updates of user's Post likes on renaming/merging, this avoids long running update statements which block posting.
  • Previous attempt was rendered non-functional by a typo and didn't expose that it was failing.

Is anyone else finding that when User Log Length (Days) is set to zero (0) to keep the records permanently that their User Log is still clearing itself regularly?

 

[Xon]

Xon updated User Essentials with a new update entry:

2.7.7 - Bugfix update

• Fix that setting the User Log length of 0 would prune daily instead of keeping forever.

Thanks for fixing this, I can't believe we didn't notice this sooner... I guess we hadn't needed to lookup something lately.

However.... Is it feasible to re-import a database backup of the log table and append it to what's there now to restore the history?
It looks like the user log is still ticking up the user_log_id field since it was started.... Anything I'm missing that would cause issues if we restored the lost history?

 

[Xon]

@ENF restoring contents to just that table would be fine. Just be aware that since it was purging daily, it is unlikely your backups will capture it all sorry

Thanks - We have six hour increments, I went back to a monthly copy that's stored for a event like this. So minus a month (I think), we (will) have most of it back.
Worst case, we could just load the backup into our offline DB and look for data there too.

 

[Xon]

That is a lot of restoring for the one table, just tedious, but doable.

We just used the last monthly backup copy and restored from that instead of rebuilding from the incrementals... all set now.

@Freelancer thanks for the bug report. I'll look into this over the next few days.

@Xon can you look into this, especially the "hide visibility" bug? It is very annoying that the users change random preferences and then become invisible (although not allowed).

Xon updated User Essentials with a new update entry:

2.7.8 - Bugfix update

• Prevent changing visibility to not visible when saving preferences if the user doesn't have permission to use the visibility setting.
• Tweak "Visitor Popup Menu" visible template mod to handle theme changes
• Support unicode-based not-matching

@Xon

Do you think you could add an option to restrict viewing of a certain previous username.
In general we want users to be able to see what other users were once called, however sometimes (for example the user requested a name change for privacy reasons, or we made a typo), we would like to be able to restrict viewing of that specific name change history entry.

@Xon also here, just curious: ETA when this addon will be useable for xf2?

 

[Xon]

This add-on is currently in the process of being ported to XF2

But I still don't have a firm ETA
