I have deleted the files, installed the app, configured the groups to be shown the option, but there is no link in the account settings.

Please, send a PM with credentials to your board.

I just reinstalled and it's working now. It must have been the damn local persistent cache...

When I uninstall the plugin and install the app, I get this on all sites (4.2 and 4.3) I tried:

The installation fails and the settings page breaks. Uninstalling the app and installing it again works though.

Make sure you followed the instructions.

 

[opentype]

I followed those instructions carefully:

Quote

• Uninstall the plugin
• Remove the following files via FTP:
  • applications\core\extensions\core\ModCp\DeleteAccount.php
  • applications\core\extensions\core\Notifications\DeleteAccount.php
• Install the application

When the error happnes? When installing the app? When uninstalling the plugin?

[opentype]

First installation of the app. 

[Adriano Faria]

Take a look in your core_members table to see if a couple of columns for this resource is still there. If so, drop them. It seems the uninstall didn’t remove them.

Was that the issue? If no, send a PM with ACP access so I can take a look.

As mentioned in the first post I fixed it by uninstalling the app again after the initial failed installation. It always worked the second time around. So there is nothing for me to investigate anymore. I was just telling you in case you want to have a look at the problem and maybe avoid it for other customers.

Oh sorry, I understood it wasn't working. My bad.

@Adriano Faria, looks like the email sent when user requests deletion is sending to wrong location.

Link for review request was */settings/deletemyaccount/

Presumably it should have been: */modcp/delete-account/

[Adriano Faria]

What's New in Version 2.1.1:

• Fix the link path to ModCP in the email sent to the moderation team

Found a MAJOR issue with this and downloads app.

When a contributor is allowed to delete their account they become a guest.  Thus guests to your site become owners of paid files and can download them for FREE!!!!

Please help!! My users figured this out and I am hemorrhaging lost sales.

1. User Tom contributes paid file
2. User Tom deletes account
3. User Tom becomes Guest
4. Any Guest on Earth can download paid files for FREE

You better tell IPS. This app just provides an interface for easy account deletion. The deletion itself is an IPS feature – and so is how the downloads app handles guest accounts. 

To verify: try the same by deleting an account in the ACP without this app.

What @opentype said. It uses a built-in IPS feature so you will be able to reproduce it by deleting a member on ACP and leaving their content still available. 

[Adriano Faria]

@SJ77, made a couple of tests.

- Using DELETE MY ACCOUNT app to delete a member:

 

- DELETE MY ACCOUNT app uninstalled and deleting a member via Admin CP:

 

Both has the same behaviour, as told above... all comes down to the category permission: you allow guest to download files.

-------------------------

It seems a Downloads bug to me because even with the group setting Can download paid files without paying? disabled:

they can download a paid file without pay for it. I would report it as a bug.

Thanks for the quick feedback, I will check on this

YEP, I have this set correctly. I have had it set correctly all along.

Guest are still able to download the files because OWNERSHIP is transferred to them. Guest = Owner and has permission to download.

Please help.

EDIT: I see, you are saying it's a bug with IPB?

Yes. This how the Downloads app works. 

[Adriano Faria]

I think Guests shouldn't be able to download a paid file simply because I have no way to know which guest is downloding: if anyone else or the "guset author".

[SJ77]

I’ll report thanks

The account deletion itself is handled by the framework and has exactly the same behaviour when you delete an account on ACP. I won't change that.

Does this means that we can choose between keeping the username or anonymizing member's content, as when we delete a member from AdminCP?

No but I see what you mean. I just added it as a new setting for this app:

Will produce, according to the setting:

Will release it.
