[SOLVED] Item Request: Change another user's display name
« on: March 14, 2007, 06:04:14 am »
I'd like to request an item that would allow a member to change another user's display name (much like the item that allows you to change a title).

should be easy enough to other the  Change Other's Title item.

have you thought about trying this one your self?

would be a cool way to learn a little php? and mysql?

I've actually considered trying this one but I'm so afraid of screwing up my board. I considered setting up a dummy board for trying. Really,
my biggest deterrent is that my board is just a hobby and I have an outdoors job so I can't play around to learn in my spare time at work. Plus 3 kids... My time is sooo limited.

lol i hear you, not enough time in the day

php can be a hobby but, and yeah you could setup a dummy board. always good practice.

if you decide to have a go and get stuck, feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks! I uploaded it to my items folder, set permissions to 755 and tried to make an item in the Shop admin. I got this error on the Sop admin page where you create & customize your items (the one with the drop down menu).

ERROR: Could not create instance of 'ChangeOthersDisplayName' item!

Any ideas?


EDIT: Nothing in the board's error log on this.

Hmmm it may not be named right?...

Do you have it named  "ChangeOtherMessage.php" in Sources\shop\items & permissions set to 755???

How do you add this as a new item? It doesn't show in the pull down box after I placed the file on the server.
