Unable to update a misspelled User Name

A misspelled "User Name" can't be updated from the page Admin/ManageUsers.aspx.

Web/Admin/ManageUsers.aspx.cs is correct and sets the name string to be updated.

Here is what needs to be updated:

  • In Business/SiteUser.cs the function Update() does not pass the name string on to the dbPortal.cs function SiteUser_UpdateUser() in PostgreSQLData, MySQLData, or MSSQLData.
  • In dbPortals the function SiteUser_UpdateUser() also does not pass the name string on to the corresponding CreateStoredProcedures.sql scripts.
  • The CreateStoredProcedures.sql scripts do not support updating of the name string in the function mp_users_update().

Re: Unable to update a misspelled User Name

I will implement that soon so that Admin user can update someone's name after the user is created and I will implement a site setting to enable or disable allowing users to change their own name.

I may make a release before I do that though as I have a number of things I'd like to release soon.

Re: Unable to update a misspelled User Name

I will make the update manually via the command line program psql for now.

If you allow end users to update themselves, you may want to restrict a few names like:

  • Admin
  • Administrator
  • Moderator

from being used.  -- Just a thought.

Thanks,
Todd

Re: Unable to update a misspelled User Name

Another quick trick around this problem for a Site Admin that has no knowledge of SQL commands is to have them delete the user then add the user back with the correct spelling of the user name.
