Username Change by Siropu 1.2.5

[Nuno]

You have to revoke the permission to change username.

I just want to remove that link but let members change the username in the profile page.

 

[Siropu]

Go to "siropu_username_change_tab_link" template and change this:

<li>

With this:

<li style="display: none;">

Or you can delete everything.

Very nice, just switched to this from this add-on.

If anyone else decides to make the switch, you can use this SQL query to retain username change history:

INSERT INTO `xf_siropu_username_change_history` (`user_id`, `username_old`, `username_new`, `date`, `incognito`)
SELECT `user_id`, `old_value`, `new_value`, `change_time`, `private_change`
FROM `xf_cz_userchange_log`
WHERE 1

Is there no plan on adding a small note about the amount of remaining changes the user have left?

 

[Siropu]

I think I will add that in the future.

 

[BobbyWibowo]

Alright, thanks. Also, possibly a little note about what it actually does. Like, "This feature will change your username in this forums. Username is basically your display name. You login with this thing. You change it, then you'll have to login with the changed username in the future. Got it?", or something along that line. I was flabbergasted yesterday because my user asked what was that feature do.

 

[Siropu]

I can add a new phrase for that so you can customize it the way you want.

 

[BobbyWibowo]

Alright, thanks again!

Can you add a property as approved by the moderators of change ? it would be very nice if you can add

 

[Siropu]

I'm sorry, I don't have plans for that at the moment.

@Siropu I have been manually processing username changes for a while now.

Users have been requesting a "Username change log" under user profiles.

Do you know if this would work for that?
Or would it only apply to future name changes done with this addon?

 

[Siropu]

Or would it only apply to future name changes done with this addon?

Only applies to changes done using the Add-on.

Can you add a feature where mods would be able to change the username from the member profile if they have the correct permission?
For example, when a mod goes to "Username History" there's a little button which will open a menu where they can change the same stuff as in ACP.

I'm personally very strict about who I gave ACP access.

 

[Siropu]

This Add-on allows users to change their username themselves, you don't need mods for that.

Siropu updated Username Change by Siropu with a new update entry:

Improvements

Added a phrase above the "New Username" field for a short explanation on what the feature does, for inexperienced users.

Also added a phrase that tells the user how many changes has left.

@Siropu Thanks for the update!

 

[BobbyWibowo]

@Siropu "siropu_recent_posts_remaining_changes" phrase is missing from the XML file, but it's being used in "siropu_username_change" template.

 

[Siropu]

As the phrase prefix tells, it has been attributed to my "Recent Posts" Add-on. I think I need a break.
I will release a fix soon.

 

[BobbyWibowo]

I knew it! Alright, thanks in advance!

A new phrase in 1.2.4 has been attributed to a different Add-on. Sorry about that.
