In phpbb forum under Administration > General Admin > Configuration > General Configuration > User and Forum Basic Settings

Line: Allow Username changes Yes No

When I changed setting to Yes to allow users to change their name, the option is not available to Users or Admin. Are there other settings?

Thanks.

P.S. If you change the Email Address and save changes, you get no error message and no email change. Email change is not working either.

You do not want to change those setting in phpbb, it will mess your site up big time. Those are left overs from long ago. Under Edit Users / Permissions in the RavenNuke ACP, you can allow users to change emails. I don't think there is a way to change user names without manually doing it in phpMyAdmin.

I have some good news. User must login and stay logged in, change email and save settings. User should check their email account, click link to activate new email.

The only problem is the user never get an update message saying to check their email to complete the process.

P.S. This message applies before reading your reply.

I will check RavenNuke ACP.

Thanks.

Bobby, I used RavenNuke ACP Edit Users the first time for Email, but used phpbb for Username changes.

And you didn't get the email to confirm email change?

Users receive the email to confirm email change, but when they save settings to change to a new email, the board tells them nothing. No error or saved messages? So they do not know to check their email or if their changes were saved.

Bobby, did you get the chance to check why the board tells them nothing. No error or saved messages? So they do not know to check their email or if their changes were saved.

I have confirmed that you do not receive any directions after email change. I will look at code today and see what needs to be added to give the user notice to check their email.

Edit: After reviewing the code I noticed that there is not any kind of code set up to give a notification if email is changed. I will test some things today.

I think the easiest thing to do would be to go into Your_Account/language/lang-english.php and find _EMAILNOTPUBLIC . You can add extra info to let them know if the email is changed they will need to check their email and click the link to verify the new email address.

Bobby, I'm pleased with your reply.

This is how it reads now:

(This Email will not be public but is required and will be used to send your password if you lost it) **IF EMAIL IS CHANGED, CHECK YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT TO VERIFY**

I like this and is done with it.

Thanks
