Username / email address is already taken
Submitted by dlintott on Mon, 06/23/2008 - 15:56.
To start with let me just say ProjectPier is great. Does everything we need it to do. I am having one little issue. This morning, I was asked to remove a user from one of the companies….only to be told to add him back an hour later.
Now every time I try I to add this user back I get this message:
Failed to save object because some of its properties are not valid
Sorry, but the selected username is already taken
Sorry, selected email address is already taken
I have restarted Mysql and Apache in hopes that it was something that could be cleared out, but it appears that the user (even though not visible) is still in the system somewhere.
Any suggestions on how to remove this user…or reactivate his account?
Thanks,
David.
I'm not entirely sure why you've got this ghost in your system, I managed to delete a user successfully on my test install.
In the mean time, try executing this query:
DELETE FROM pp_users WHERE username = 'USERNAME HERE' LIMIT 1Alex,
Thank you very much - worked like a charm. I to have deleted users, but this is the first time I have ever had to add one back.
