Dem13n Would you like to update this extension so we can use it for newest flarum version Thanks

Hello all, please I first create user via API => nickname is empty, then I call API to update user attribute nickname but getting validation error 422 "nickname was already used". I cross-checked the users table but the nickname is not user anywhere. Any idea? Running on newest Flarum release 12.

Dem13n

lubos-h the problem only occurs when updating via the api ?
I can assume that you are sending an empty string

This is a very good function, I like it very much.
But I think it's more necessary to add a small function. For example, when modifying a nickname, some people will use "admin" and other keywords. We have no way to prohibit him. For example, speech in China is not particularly free. If a user changes his name to abusive words, we have no other way but to delete him. We hope that this function can be improved.
I am from China, I can't speak English, I translate it with software. Hope you don't mind)

Is it possible to let the extension also change the url of an user's page? At the moment the slug still has the old username.

robinodds You can try FoF/Username-Request

robinodds

therealsujitk I cannot use it or change usernames because I use SSO extension linked to a wordpress site. Otherwise an user would no longer be able to login.

robinodds I believe both of the Wordpress extensions I know of (the open-source SSO extension and my own premium Wordpress integration) are only email-based. Having different usernames in Wordpress and Flarum is possible.

robinodds

clarkwinkelmann unfortunately not. Usernames must be the same (just tested). I also cannot change both wordpress and flarum usernames.

I'd suggest you set an option to disallow users from changing their nicknames, not even for the first time. It would be better for moderation purposes

Would you be able to update and override the user search, so other extensions and username search work with the display name?

Also see the following post by clark which goes into more specific detail.

Thanks for this extension, a must have for many forums.

I noticed what while Flarum provides a clear API to change the display name via the GetDisplayName event, we don't provide any official recommendation on how to extend the user search.

Extensions can add custom search gambits, but those gambits need a prefix, like displayname: which the users need to know exist. I see this extension currently provides no such gambit at all.

To enable users searching for users by their display name in the forum search box as well as other extensions using user search without typing a gambit prefix (Byobu, Author change, User directory, ...), you could create a gambit that extends or replicates the User's FullTextGambit and register it using setFulltextGambit on the GambitManager.

The full text gambit is the search gambit applied for all terms that don't match any other gambit, so essentially free-text search.

Unfortunately the full text gambit is not extensible, only replaceable. So if multiple extensions alter the user full text search gambit, only the last enabled extension's full text gambit will be applied. But so far I don't know of any extension replacing a full text gambit.

Will be updated to beta 14?

Ganesha604

Yes, I really need an application for version 14

clarkwinkelmann

For people looking for a replacement, Flarum now ships with a Nickname extension out of the box. See https://discuss.flarum.org/d/25689-flarum-010-beta15-released and open a new Support discussion if you experience any issue with it, since it doesn't have a dedicated discussion.
