FriendsOfFlarum Username Request

askvortsov

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?

[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

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.

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?

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.

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.

peopleinside users could always use the email if the username they try no longer works.

I'm not sure we want to add an email explicitly for this... But could always become a sponsored feature.

Sad to read this reply but ok, I need accept it, maybe more community admins will need this or discover what I see it's an issue, with time.

I don't agree with the fact user can use his email address instead of username because need know why the login credentials are wrong and need know that username has been changed and for this reason login doesn't work as the extension never alert of the change the user by email.

User can also try to reset password as login may not working (so will see nickname is changed) but this is not the point of my report. I think it's bad not notificate by email a credentials change that impact login. That's all 🙂

Thank you anyway.
Issue reported anyway 🙂
