Option rename username/asset author name #235

Open ivanskodje opened 3 years ago

ivanskodje commented 3 years ago

I would like to be able to change the account name (username) that shows up as the Author of the asset that is uploaded. For example, I used an old username "Tybobobo", and would like to use "Ivan Skodje" or "IvanSkodje, (or "ivanskodje"), but see no option to change that.

We can do this manually on the database level, but this isn't provided in the user settings yet.

The new asset library will allow people to change their username.

Edit: We don't intend to deploy the asset library rewrite anymore, as it would be quickly superseded by the upcoming asset store.

Glad to see we will get a new asset library, especially with Laravel

Hi! Do we have any estimated date of when this feature will be available? My name has accents and symbols and they are not displayed correctly, causing me an issue when trying to login with the username I initially signed-in.

Thanks a lot!

@Iakobs I've changed your username to remove accents: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset?user=Jacob%20Ibanez%20Sanchez

Logging in with the username without accents should work now.

The current asset library is in maintenance mode. While implementing username change should be straightforward (can be done on the same page as password change), we don't have anyone currently available to work on it, so we'd need someone to contribute this feature. Also, there are some implications with exposing this feature to everyone. Changing an user's username breaks links that filter assets by username, since there is no redirect system in place.

Oh! That makes complete sense! I'm currently working on a google play plugin for godot 4.2, but as soon as I finish it, I might take a look on this and contribute, even though that redirect system looks like a must have.
