UNIQUE MEMBER USERNAMES

By default, usernames are unique only within an individual site. Prior to NATS version 4.0.69.1, there were two configuration settings that could affect username uniqueness.

  • UNIQUE_USERNAMES Require usernames on the join form to be unique across all sites. If there is a match, the user must pick a new username.
  • XSELL_UNIQUE_USERNAMES Requires cross sale usernames to be unique across all sites. If there is a match, the new xsell username is automatically renamed.

On NATS version 4.0.69 and greater, these variables have been replaced with a new variable --UNIQUE_MEMBER_NAMES-- with 9 options . The first four of these options replicate existing functionality from older versions:

  • only unique within site -- this is the default setting.
  • unique across sites for joins and xsells -- this replaces selecting both UNIQUE_USERNAMES and XSELL_UNIQUE_USERNAMES
  • unique across sites for xsells but site specific for joins -- this replaces selecting only XSELL_UNIQUE_USERNAMES
  • unique across sites for joins but site specific for xsells -- this replaces selecting only UNIQUE_USERNAMES


The second five options allow for new functionality -- letting usernames be unique across sites, but allowing exceptions if the email is also a match

  • unique across sites for xsells and unique unless emails match for joins -- Usernames for xsells must be unique as with XSELL_UNIQUE_USERNAMES. Usernames on the join form must be unique as with UNIQUE_USERNAMES, but allowing an exception if both the username and email match the existing member.
  • not unique across sites for xsells and unique unless emails match for joins
  • unique across sites for joins and unique unless emails match for xsells
  • not unique across sites for joins and unique unless emails match for xsells
  • unique across sites unless emails match for both joins and xsells
