Consider validate username before start marking cameras

Open elKaZe opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I've registered and set my username, but when I started marking pins it showed an alert saying that the username wasn´t registered. I think it's would be nice to validate username at the moment it is set in the configuration.

Hmm, that's a good point. This would require extending the API so we can make a request that checks "Is this name valid", rather than the current behavior, which is to check as part of the camera-posting request. I can't think of any significant downsides to extending the API that way, though.

This is now implemented on the server and iOS client in the 1.4 branch, with an Android implementation coming soon. Unfortunately as a side-effect of #57 it is an extremely slow API call (> 2 minutes), and so the feature is effectively blocked until we have migrated enough users to the new login database format that we can discard the legacy database.
