[For 1.8] Username Change Approval, Limit and History

[Starpaul20]

Sounds like you had the template variables got added twice. The messages are only supposed to appear once regardless of how many groups you're in. If that's the case, you need to edit the template usercp_changename, find {$maxchanges}{$approvalnotice}{$changesleft} and delete any extra instances of them.

very nice ... thanks

but can added a limit to member groups for all time? not a month or day ...

For example: admin group can change username Only two times ...

and can added a tools to this plugin for Notification to the administrator when a user changes his name ?

notice example : You have received a notice : X changed his username to Y

thanks for useful plugin

Thanks.

I believe re-enabling it fixed that.

However, my primary group is admin which has no limit whatsoever but it still says this;
'You are allowed to change your username 4 times in a 31 day period.
You have 4 changes left.'

Also, when I change my username it actually uses up some changes even though my primary (admin) has no limits & when I use them all it doesn't let me continue

From the looks of it, that seems to be the way MyBB handles permissions. The only way to fix it is to edit the file inc/class_core.php and find:

$groupzerogreater = array("pmquota", "maxpmrecipients", "maxreputationsday", "attachquota", "maxemails", "maxwarningsday");

and replace it with:

$groupzerogreater = array("pmquota", "maxpmrecipients", "maxreputationsday", "attachquota", "maxemails", "maxwarningsday", "usernameapproval", "maxusernamesperiod", "maxusernamesdaylimit");

That seemed to have works, as far as I can see. Thanks!

At the moment it's not possible, however I am updating the plugin to make it possible.

and can added a tools to this plugin for Notification to the administrator when a user changes his name ?

notice example : You have received a notice : X changed his username to Y

Yeah, I can add a notice.

Yeah, I can add a notice.

Just thought I'd throw an idea out there; maybe add the function to make individual users require approval as well as groups?
