.om Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Yeah on this board for members pre-display name.. But what about those who register with one type of login name, and something else as a display name? Then that doesn't reveal it. So, yeah that's a good spot, but no, I mean something a little more guaranteed. A simple solution to that would be using the registration field for display name as an optional field(something like the subscription manager field in ACP, where there is an option for it)...even if no default option is available or made available..it can be modded :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Wouldn't that then make the initial display name equal to the login name, thus creating the very vuneralbility that I was mentioning AGAINST? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.om Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 well in that case../there must be some sort of a mask or option which enables/disables per group, the viewing of display name changes and maybe another option where per group options can be given where that group's disaply name change aint visible at all...for say an admin group..just like the IP being private..the display name can be displayed as "protected" and is not visible to anyone...this can also be as I said be extended on a per group basis.

Shawn Dean Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I've done this mod for IPB 2.0.x. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Excellent mod! Link: http://mods.invisionize.com/db/index.php/f/5182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Yeah ok.. Now how about making it for v2.1, but in a way where someone doesn't have to modify the PHP files. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.John. Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Looks like LSS was pulled. It's no longer available anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Yeah ok.. Now how about making it for v2.1, but in a way where someone doesn't have to modify the PHP files. :D It'd be nice if Matt added it as a default feature in IPB 2.1 but I think he's done adding new features. But for now we can use Dean's mod for 2.0. Dean, will you upgrade it to 2.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Dean Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Huh? More likely, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Will you also make it so someone doesn't have to modify the php code? :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I mean like not needing for the PHP code to not be modified. That way updates to IPB can just be dropped in and the upgrader run, but still have the mods there already working. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arts&Faith Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Suggestion: EITHER (1) don't lock the username; block the IP address for x minutes OR (2) lock the user name for x minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 That's the point, lock the username/account for "x" minutes after "x" failed login attempts. Also, a good feature would be to send the owner of the account a link in their email to unlock their account immediately too. So time or email link to unlock.

DjZvEr Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Very true, hmm. There must be something that could be put in place to stop / limit that from happening. Block IP. the only problem with that is if someone uses a proxy.I hope it too, Logan. Just discussing about it, when do you think IPB 3.0 will be released? September 2006? :) Lets first wait for 2.1 and I think 3.0 is further away then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you suggesting exactly what Dean's mod does ?... his mod sends out an email to the account holder so it can be unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rοb Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 his mod sends out an email to the account holder so it can be unlocked. Nice! This sounds like an awesome feature suggestion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Also it'd be nice to have as a default. I somehow doubt this one would make it, but if so, that'd be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
