Remove author titles after import?

StealthBravo

Hi guys,

I migrated over from IP.Board 3.4.6 to Vanilla. In IP.Board, we had users with custom titles, and these got migrated over to Vanilla. However, it seems there is no way to remove them? Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is simply no option to remove them from users. These showed up even before the Role Title plugin was added, and I actually need them removed now. Is there a way?

Here's what I mean: http://i.imgur.com/iHPDoav.png

The ADMINISTRATOR tag next to it is from the Role Titles plugin, and does not need to be removed.

Thanks.

Anyone?

I think there is no option to edit the title through in the core functionality, so you will have to run this Query against your database:

UPDATE GDN_User SET Title = NULL where 1

Thank you! That worked perfectly.

Is there any way to edit Author Titles? It's weird that Vanilla obviously supports them by importing them in from IPB, but not in a way that allows people to edit theirs.

I think it exists to be used with gamification, but you can easily add a field to edit it with a plugin
class.title.plugin.php

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

$PluginInfo['Title'] = array(
    'Name' => 'Title',
    'Description' => 'Allows editing of user titles.',
    'Version' => '1',
    'MobileFriendly' => true
);

class TitlePlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {

    public function ProfileController_EditMyAccountAfter_Handler($Sender) {
        echo Wrap($Sender->Form->Label('Title').$Sender->Form->TextBox('Title'), 'li');
    }

}

I love one-line plugins.
