FriendsOfFlarum Username Request

[deleted]

Frink thank you, i just removed to extension, composer works as before.

Ralkage Yeah, I understand that much, but I wasn't able to answer why it was requiring it for just that one extension. IMO it should have required it when installing Flarum, right?

@Kyrne Would it be possible to create an extension for account verification? Instead of asking for "New Name and Password" only a "Request Account Verification" button would appear where the same notification would go to an administrator.

I think a simple modification to this extension is possible, but I don't know where to start.
Can you give me any help?

When I try to activate "poll" and "name request" extensions from the Extensions page,

I get a "method_not_allowed" error. What is the solution to the problem?
I am using beta 9 version.

Alshain Looks like an issue related to MariaDB 10.0.16. Are you using MariaDB ?

chenhansen

Alshain

datitisev This 10.1.37-MariaDB - mariadb.org binary distribution

TOWUK_ru screenshot seems to indicate everything went right. Did you post it to indicate it's solved ?

TOWUK_ru

clarkwinkelmann not everything is solved, it is installed but cannot be activated, it shows an error from the bottom left

datitisev

TOWUK_ru Can you describe the error ?

0.2.0 🎉

Fixes #1.
- Added support for MariaDB versions prior to v10.2.7 that do not have the JSON column data type support that was added in v10.2.7 and later.
- I tested this on MariaDB v10.1.41, the latest MariaDB v10.4.8), and MySQL v8.0.15.
Corrected a single grammatical error in the English language translation file and ended up changing the wording around as well 🤷

Given that this has some migration and translation changes, please be sure to run the following commands in the root directory of your Flarum installation to update this extension properly:

composer update fof/username-request
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

@Artuu @Allineer @SKevo @Sanguine @ram0ng1 and whoever else I missed, this should fix your SQL syntax issues upon activating this extension again 😄

php cache:clear

Should be

php flarm cache:clear

010101

Ralkage Yay. I can install this now. On a philosophical note: I wonder what the purpose of the request, mod must approve, set up is?

On one hand I understand why: maybe the moderator won’t want to allow someone to change their username. On the other hand, if you have this feature why would you ever deny someone’s request? Is this approval step there to prevent abuse (someone changing their name daily)? If yes, there are websites which allow unrestricted username changes; how do they handle it?

Ralkage

[deleted] I see we both made a typo 😛

Ralkage Touche !

Ralkage What are yo talking abot, I don't see any typing failres. 😛

010101 a user can simply be denied a username change request simply because the proposed username doesn't follow community rules (if they were even created in which every growing community needs rules to run efficiently). Some users even often change their username more than once in a week or month which can be tiresome and to others, pretty darn annoying 🙂 That's also why a username change request history was added so that these changes can be kept track of in case an audit or proof username changes is needed.

To tackle restricting excessive username change requests, a limit per group could be added or even a global option to set a max limit.
