FriendsOfFlarum Username Request

Can you explain the steps that lead to the issue?

Ffuser1

Username request is showing in notification for Admin but when I open it, I am not seeing any request to approve. This happens for users who used oauth to sign up.

clarkwinkelmann

Ffuser1 are you able to reproduce reliably. Are you certain it's related to oauth or just some users? If it's just some users, could they try hard-refreshing the page or using private browsing to see if it solves the issue?

Are all those users administrators?

Ffuser1

It's applicable to all users not just oauth. Before the last two upgrade I was able to approve (version 0.4.0). This issue started after upgrading to version 0.4.2.
Normal members and mods requested change, Admin to approve in settings but nothing is showing to approve.
I've checked and no error in flarum log.

Ffuser1

What command can I use to return to version 0.4.0?

clarkwinkelmann

Ffuser1 you can try composer require fof/username-request:0.4.0. Note that you will need to run composer require fof/username-request or composer require fof/username-request:* again once you want to update, as the Composer update command will have no effect after forcing a fixed version.

Le us know if that resolves the issue, so we know if that's indeed the new version causing it. I'm personally not using the extension so cannot check right now.

Ffuser1

clarkwinkelmann i reverted to 0.4.0.
The issue was not resolved.

I noticed that even the admin can request an username change... to himself. It's a bit odd since he can edit whenever he want.

enricodx this is expected 🙂 if you don't want your Admin group to be able to use this feature, you can simply turn it off via permissions.

Ffuser1 did you try clearing your Flarum cache? I wasn't able to reproduce this either even when using an OAuth provider such as GitHub. Did you check the browser console for any possible errors?

Ralkage if you don't want your Admin group to be able to use this feature, you can simply turn it off via permissions.

Not possible, admin group can do anything. That being said, it's a redundant feature, but useful if admins want to see what the process is like for regular users.

askvortsov this is what happens when you skip the first cup of coffee 😆 what you said in the second part was my initial thought and I decided to go against my gut this time 😞 I also keep forgetting that the Admin group runs the show 🤣 thank you for clarifying.

I had a strange scenario with this extension (previous version, not 0.5.0). I changed my username (for testing purposes), and after that my private discussions disappeared. I am using FriendsOfFlarum/byobu. Then I reverted my username to the previous one, and my private discussions disappeared. Is this related to fof/username-request or FriendsOfFlarum/byobu?

IanM

[deleted] Sorry for the late reply here 🙈

I think this is extremely likely to be more fof/byobu related, rather than this extension. I'll be updating byobu in the coming days, so will look out for this scenario specifically

Installing

It would be nice if there was a way from the admin to remove the username history. I've had a few instances where people have contacted the admin to remove username history to prevent ongoing abuse/bullying.

Is the username history created by this plugin only? When I change a username in admin/users (without the plugin installed) I don't see any history.

luceos

streaps yes.

Or for username history to be viewable only by the admin and/or moderators.

Another observation:
I noticed that when users request for a change in username and it gets approved, they have to log out and log in again with the new username. That's also when they receive the notification that their request was approved. Is there a way for their session to continue with the new username instead of having to log out and then log back in? Or is there a reason why they have to go through this after a username change?

Hi, I opened a GitHub issue today:
FriendsOfFlarum/username-request26

This extension is wonderful and useful but, when an username change is approved, and email must inform the user that now only the new username will be valid for login.

Currently no issue if user is already logged and see the pop up alert that username change has been approved but how if they are not logged? They will get no email alert about credentials change. Change the username is a credentials change and user must be informed by email if the username change is approved.
