Is it possible to parse the username and replace parts of the string?

Hi,

We are thinking of creative ways to display users with the same name like appending something that would uniquely identify them. We're pulling users from multiple sources so we can't guarantee that the username will be unique.

ex:

UserX_Apple
UserX_Orange

Is there a way to parse it and display like an image of the fruit beside UserX?

Thanks!

@pitaj Yes it does sound like the same issue, I did notice that even after I deleted all the users, if I tried to register a new user with a new email that I know was not present previously the new user ID is sequential so that tells me that even though I deleted all the users, there is still some data existing somewhere in the database that was preventing registrations using any previously known email.

As I said, I just gave up and deleted the database and started fresh, took me much longer to reconfigure everything, but was the only option I had since I couldn't get any user registrations to work.

@rod Correct! The fine folk at IFramely have allowed us to create a plugin and utilise their API 😄

@psychobunny Custom header is a way, but not good enough, in fact I am writing a plugin which act somewhat like nodebb-plugin-widgets-essential, that is to add one of our custom widget.

@baris said in Possible to get user id from email from api?:

https://community.nodebb.org/api/user/email/[email protected]

Hi @baris, how can I get this request sent from a python script and get pre-authenticated via Python?
I tried with authorization bearer token but it seems it works only with api/v3, and in api v3 I've no chance to retrieve the user id from an email.

Thanks for any help

As it says he still has 450 posts, but only posts/topics as his current username appear and searching doesn't seem to find much

can you PM us a link to his user profile? sounds like a bug, but as @baris says, all posts are tied to UID so changing username won't make a diff, but possible something else (deleting posts?) could affect that. Tried fooling around a bit on my dev env, couldn't repro so I don't really know.
