When I installed this app my editor stopped working.  Has anyone else had this issue?

[Adriano Faria]

It is a plugin, not app. And I can't reproduce, as you already know: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/410444-name-history/?do=findComment&comment=2542105

[Square Wheels]

Oops, sorry, plug in.

OK, so I turned it back on and made it active fr everyone.  I can see everyones name changes, but each user can only see their own.

Is it supposed to allow everyone to see everyones?

Thanks

[Adriano Faria]

Yes, I didn't restrict for the user only. I don't think this is a critical information, so I don't see why it would be hidden from the others.

[Square Wheels]

I agree, that's why I was glad you created it.  I asked people what they can see and several reported all they can see is their own.

Maybe if I reinstall it?

[Adriano Faria]

You saying that it is showing only to the profile owner? Now you confuse me. I'll take a look on the script tomorrow. I don't remember now. 

[Square Wheels]

Yes, I can see everyones and thought each use could also see everyones.  They asked where to find it, I even gave them pictures to help.  Several people tried looking at several other profiles and could not see anything.  Then they tried their own and it worked.  I just signed in as a user and cannot see the Name History link.

Thanks

[Adriano Faria]

If I remember well, only Admins and profile owner can view it. I'll take a look tomorrow.

​Tomorrow!  That's outrageous!  For what I paid I expect this fixed now!!!

I really do appreciate you creating this, our small but active site is just for fun and people like to change their names.

[Adriano Faria]

Damn. Actually it has no restriction, except the allowed groups. The problem is that it is inside an element that's only visible to the profile owner/admins!

I will take a look on it in a few days.

Hi.

"Sam A" had posted a feedback about this hook :

I've added this to my board for all my staff but also as a perk for a a paid member group, but it seems it only shows for groups that have permission to edit a profile. Is this correct? I have selected the paid member group from the dropdown within the plugin settings but they definitely do not have the option when viewing another user's profile.

I also have forum moderators that do not have the ability to edit a user's profile and they are unable to view the display name history as well, despite being selected within the plugin's settings.

I have verified this myself.

Thanks for any assistance!

And I've the same problem on my board (4.0.12.1).

Thanks.

+1 for wanting to have everyone be able to see everyone else's name history. 

[Square Wheels]

No, please follow the file. You'll be notified when it's updated.

Would it help if you made this a paid mod?  I'm sure a few people would be willing to pay for it, I would.

Thanks

What's New in Version 1.0.1:

• Changed the place of link to be available to all users (from selected groups).

[Square Wheels]

Thank you!

After I installed the update, I'm no longer seeing the history button on any profiles (my own or anyone else's). Confirmed permission setting. Any suggestions on how to clear out the files and re-install to try again?

[Adriano Faria]

Uninstall the old version and install the new one. Worked for me and for the others.

Hello.

Plugin not works on custom themes. Tested on "Uniform".

On default theme works fine.

[Adriano Faria]

"Uniform" is a paid theme ($30). You don't expect me to buy it to test my tiny free resource, right? 

General rule: All resources are done and tested on default theme, mainly this kind of plugin that has a theme hook (needs to find an exact "text" on template), thus it is supported only on default theme or in themes in compliance with default one). If your theme is heavily modified, then probably the skinner changed the CSS selector required by the theme hook.
