[RDJP v4] Usernames/DJ Names

Hey Everyone,

I'm going over my plans for how v4 will be setup in terms of usernames/dj names/titles and that got me thinking.... do we really need a seperate username and dj name and should the dj name always have 'DJ' in front of it? If it shouldn't always have 'DJ' in front of it should each user be able to customize what goes before there dj name or should it be set by the admin or what?

Also, if there is both a username and dj name for each account what should be used in the panel? Should the username be used strictly for login purposes and the rest run on the dj name or what do you think would work best?

Note that if everything used your dj name instead of username for in-panel purposes then you wouldn't be able to change your dj name (at all).

Please let me know what you think as all opinions and suggestions are welcome.

+Rep for [well thought out and reasoned] replies!

I think you should still have 2.. Adds to the security of the panel as well because randoms won't know the persons login name.

Yes they will, Alot of people know about RadioPanel.
Also will the upgrade to RDJP v4 upgrade the values to it aswell or do we have to stay on v3?

Hm... alright I see what you mean by that but then again, if it logs every login attempt and you start seeing a massive list of attempted logins from one IP then you can just ban the IP...? But I definitely see what you're saying... I'll keep that in mind.

I think you misunderstood what he meant... I think he more meant like people know your dj name but not necessarily your username (what you use to login). As for the rare values, if I make a values plugin it would be free for people who paid for the v3 plugin.

IP banning is a bit pointless now because most people have dynamic IPs and host names so they could just restart their router and WOO new ip.

My IP CHanges periodically, you can't keep anyone out, but you can try ;)

Well mine changes every night at midnight cause my router auto-restarts.

Also whenever I go on rapidshare (i'm not premium) and I want to download something and it says *Ticket Reserved* 30 mins.

I restart the router and go back on and it downloads straight away :p

I can't :( *feels left out*

Mainly cause I have an internet share and they didn't give me router access :(

Hi,

The administrator should be able to set the prefix to names (For example, DJ, ADMIN-, etc) to usergroups. Is the panel going to be open source?

I'd be against using dropdown boxes for the main login screen. It looks ewwy and I can't be bothered changing it.

Good luck.

cookie bans work well.
