This extension allows users to change their usernames. It also introduces a username log to keep track of all name changes, as well as a username cooldown. Staff can bypass the cooldown via the user index panel (/admin/users), if need-be.
Installation
Pull and merge the branch, making sure to address any merge issues.
Afterwards, run the following commands in your console:
php artisan migrate
php artisan add-site-settings
php artisan update-extension-tracker
Configuration
username_change_cooldown
- Determines how many days a user must wait before being able to change their username again.
- By default, this is set to 30 days.
- To set no cooldown, change this value to 0.
Troubleshooting
If you are having any issues (or have suggestions to improve this extension) you can find me over on the Lorekeeper Discord server (AnimatedCritter#7094)!
Potential Issues & Solutions:
Attempt to read property "updated_at" on null when changing a username for the first time.
- If you last pulled the branch before May 24th, you need to repull the branch. Afterwards, push the updates and the issue should be resolved!
