hi Arlex,

we wrote for few weeks about the nickname and alias. do you remember?

the vulnablitity isnt 100% fixed. every new member hasnt a nickname or an alias for the permalink. easydiscuss fallback to the realname and real username.

could you please give me a hack that on register the nickname is set to (explode realname(firstname and get 1st Character Lastname like John D.) and set the alias column to the user-id?

many thanks

best regards

René
Hello René Balke,

Sorry for late reply to this,
If I'm not wrong, you can install this plugin -> plg_easydiscuss_profile.zip in your site, this plugin is added more details including the nickname.
When you download the plugin from http://stackideas.com/downloads/plugins (All EasyDiscuss Plugins)
Then after you installed, you have to replace this file
JoomlaFolder\plugins\user\easydiscussprofile\easydiscussprofile.php
Because this fixes haven't release yet.

Can you give it a try and see is it fix your requirement when the new user doing the registration also can fill in the nickname?

Dear Arlex, thanks for getting back to me. the problem is that i use a 3rd party register-modul "Ajax-Register". this generate a own register form. the easydiscuss profil plugin settings havent no effect to this form. i need a plugin that set the field nickname and alias automaticly on first login.

do you know what i mean?

Best Regards

Rene

Hello Rene,

I am sorry but we do not have such plugins available currently but I don't quite get you about the "Vulnerability" . What do you mean by vulnerability here?

hi Mark,

my problem is that all over the world can see the real username in the url of the permalink and see the realname. i have a security page to save important documents. easydiscuss make it easy to hack an account to find the real username. to hack a passwort is for a profi hacker not a problem.

i must have a website with a maximum of security. and to find fast real names und usernames arent a maximum.. do you know what i mean?

Hello Rene,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I thought you're mentioned that using the Joomla default registration form
Yes, you're right, that plugin i suggested is not meet your requirement here, as Mark said that we actually doesn't have this such of plugin to integrate with your "3rd party register-modul "Ajax-Register"" , hope you understand.

Yes, I understand your situation in your security site, or do you consider to use our plugin and using the Joomla default registration form for new user register in your site? Unless the new user can fill in the nickname field, so the username will be display the user nickname.

Dear Arlex,

no i cant use the standard register form. Ajax-Register has extra fields to define extra informations for the registration that i need.

i wrote a routine to set the permalink and the alias after register of a new member. i use a open_ssl encrypt to generate the permalink. that is the safest way. no one can see the real user-id oder the real username.

you can close this ticket. :-)
