@Paul E. This looks like it may be an issue with Linked Accounts rather than Account Deactivation, but I can take a look at it if you'd like. I'll just need you to shoot me a PM with a temporary AdminCP account. It might be worth contacting Adriano as well and see if he can look into the error in question.

So, @Makoto, if I'm understanding correctly, you think the process is locking for Account Deactivation because of an issue with Linked Accounts?

Resurrecting this from the dead. We would like a per-usergroup flood control setting. Use case that @R. Seoul outlines above is exactly our need. Please and thank you.

@Makoto, sent you a PM a bit ago. This still is ongoing, with the task locking.

Digging further, we see this in our system logs:

Linked Accounts, as seen in the trace, is:

There is also an issue with the way fonts are applied in the templates for the ModCP. The "Deletion Request" or "Deactivation Request" link is styled as font-awesome, which looks odd. My guess is that the icon you use should be the only part styled as font-awesome, yet the entire string is. Minor visual issue, but an issue nonetheless.

Account deactivation will be coming very shortly

I assume that this short period has passed, now two years later, yet I see no mention of it in the guides. Where can we find this option?

How does CJ duplicate logger work? Can I have a brief summary of what it does? I assume it's more than just comparing IP address

Following up on the duplicate logger train, two comments:

• Please consider maintaining a new table rather than modifying core_members--this makes large site installation ... problematic ... due to the time it takes to edit the schema of a very large member table
• Please consider adding functionality to look for matches from previous data if possible. It appears the detection is only done on the next login. We'd like to compare data from previous registrations and content where available.

Thanks!

Hi Jim,

That involves scrolling up to the top. I was hoping for the addition of an option at the bar that hovers in a fixed position at the bottom, center.

Also, displaying the actual count of check marks selected would be nice too when moving back and forth. Navigating away from a page and then back makes the count no longer reflect the actual boxes checked. As an example, check three threads, click on one to view it, then press back. Check a fourth thread. It will only say one selected, but whatever action you choose will apply to all four.

I'm also getting the error a year later that @Bluto reported here:

The error goes away when the application is disabled.

Often, I find myself having a need to clear the checkboxes on posts that I want to moderate. Please add a "clear all selected" option to the floating moderator toolbar. These checkmarks persist across visits to a thread and it's difficult to not accidentally take action on something I had checked prior.

You may also want to make edits in the friendly URL settings if you'd like to remove /subscriptions from the URL. Translations don't impact those.

Thank you for your response bfarber how important is it to disable pcntl_exec?

Best regards

It's an important security recommendation, as that PHP function can be used to execute arbitrary applications should your site be otherwise compromised. It's part of a multi-layered approach to security.

I'd recommend you do your best to work with your host to disable the function or look to find one that allows you to do so.

I doubt that would be easy due to way the plugin works via username vs ID number I would look this when and if 4.5 comes.

Wouldn't this just involve checking if $item->starter_id is 0 (or whatever value it has for a guest)? In addition to the current check, && $item->starter_id != 0.

Adding for clarity, since there's no way to know that a guest is the same guest, I think the behavior should be to disable this entirely, even if the display name selected by the guest is reused later in the thread. Perhaps your meaning that if a guest named "Paul" starts the thread, and later a guest named "Paul" replies, you'd think it should display there.

I'm of the opinion that in instances where a guest starts the thread, there's no way to guarantee it's the same "Paul" and therefore, the plugin should just be disabled.

Though I can see how others would feel otherwise.

@Seletchi Gabriel-Ioan: I believe there's an option during the conversion process to convert custom BB Code. This is set when beginning the conversion:

I know we successfully converted custom BB Code, though we did not have tables. Are you enable to confirm that you had "Convert custom BB Code" enabled when setting up the initial conversion?

The solution is probably best handled directly against the SQL database.

You would want to purge member, ip address, subscription, and private message tables to think of the main ones. I don't think you'll find an inbuilt feature to do this that would not be excruciatingly manual and labor intensive.

Can this be accomplished using the database feature of pages? I'm not sure if there's one to many links supported...

Never mind--this is for categorization and tagging of content, such as forum posts. 👍

I got lost in the pictures. Think it's a great idea!

While I've shared that there's a bit of a bug in the sort options for Hidden Content in the Mod CP, I think it would be nice to give more options for sorting here. I'd like to see the ability to sort by when the content was hidden, so I could, for example, see at a glance recently hidden content.

Deleted content gives us options, but hidden content does not. Both would be nicely augmented by an option to sort by deleted/hidden on timestamps and filters for hidden like appear in deleted by moderator and custom, etc.

There is a bug as it pertains to guest posts when a thread is started by a guest. Every subsequent guest that responds will have the thread starter flag.

Suggest a fix of not applying the badge at all in instances where the thread starter is a guest.

There is certainly an issue with permissions

I select certain groups it does not work.

Select all check box then it works. But then after an hour its stops and is unchecked.

How can i get the check box to remain checked??

This remains an issue, but wonderful resource nonetheless.

No count is displayed if "all" is not checked.

@Makoto:

We are seeing process errors as well since enabling account deletion. We did not see this when we only enabled deactivation.

Locked Task: process

One of the routine maintenance tasks which run in the background has failed several times, which may indicate a configuration issue.

You should check the logs for any indication of the issue or attempt to run it manually. If the task does not run successfully you should contact the author of the application/plugin for further assistance.

There's nothing logged when pressing the view logs button.

Best,

Seems like a pretty big oversight not to protect that form since guests can use it.

Agree completely, yet wonderful that @Mike John provided a solution without cost.

vBulletin did this. I've not had it work with IPB. It would be a nice feature to have.

Also, the ability to clear all previous checked items in a thread/forum view would be nice.

Arthmoor,

This stopped almost all of it for us:

Hats off to @Mike John for providing a solution for what should be out-of-the-box functionality!

In fact, what we'd really like would be if a member could gift directly a subscription to another member (assuming the subscription was configured to allow such a thing, and following appropriate permissions, etc.). It would be nice to grant permission to a group as being eligible to receive gift subscriptions and to define a group as being eligible to give gift subscriptions. This would remove the entire complication of the gift card process for sites where the only thing available for purchase is a subscription.

Not that the gift card thing isn't nice too--but while we're wishing and dreaming....

This is an insanely annoying issue. The vast majority of our users are on mobile and it's quotation city. We need a way of removing quotes that doesn't rely on detecting a backspace key press. Perhaps a button to tap.

What is the status of resolving this?

If not, maybe there is a way to resend the registration emails?  

Navigate to Admin CP > Members > Members. From there click on the account they registered, you'll see "this member has not yet responded to validation e-mail". You'll have three options there: Approve (you can manually approve without having them click the link in their e-mail, Resend validation e-mail (which is the option you're asking for), and Ban (bans the user outright).

You'll also want to do one of three things:

1. Use the full registration form
2. Make the custom profile fields optional and keep the quick registration form
3. Consider using the profile completion option to have members fill out the additional profile fields once registration is complete. More here:
