Question Bukkit Name Change?

Hello, Bukkit Staff.

Is it possible that you change my name to: TrendNootz? That's my usual name that people refer to me by now. It would be better if you could change it to that, thanks!

 

@miniminer79
Please PM a member of Curse Staff for this to request a name change.

 

@mrCookieSlime @miniminer79 Curse have said in a pm they wont change names anymore because it breaks some XenForo stuff.

 

When you guys get the chance to change it, please do.

 

@miniminer79 Did you not read our messages? We can't change it and

 

I'd be interested to hear what exactly is broken by a name change. There's a reason most tables reference users using their user_id.

Code:

*************************** 1. row ***************************
  Field: user_id
  Type: int(10) unsigned
  Null: NO
  Key: PRI
  Default: NULL
  Extra: auto_increment

There's also a bunch of code in theXenForo User DataWriter designed to handle content updates when a name is changed (if enabled in the settings):

PHP:

// handle username change updates
if ($this->isChanged('username') && XenForo_Application::get('options')->updateContentOnUsernameChange)
{
    $this->_getUserModel()->changeContentUser($userId, $this->get('username'), $this->getExisting('username'));
}

See also \XenForo_Model_User::changeContentUser and \XenForo_Model_User::$userContentChanges. I'd hope that if a bug was found with this process, the XenForo team would be made aware.

 

@lol768 Unfortunately, I can't give you any info on what is broken all I know is something breaks when they change names.

EDIT: Just re-read the PM, they said it broke some account functionality.

 

Yeah, more of a question for Curse to answer (assuming they ever look at this site anymore ). Thanks for checking the PM, though.

 

lol It's kinda like Minecraft name changes because it can mess with plugins that don't have UUID support xD

 

If I change your name, your password gets wiped, and the password reset doesn't work. So until that's fixed, no name changes.
