Updating the profile while e-mail is unverified

Opened this issue · 0 comments

After creating an admin using using php artisan I noticed:

  • I can not update my Profile Name using the web interface
  • I can update my Profile Name using the iOS app

This inconsistency is probably a bug, but not why I opened this issue:

Looking at the code, I noticed that the web interface requires me to verify my e-mail prior to allowing updates. Verifying my e-mail did indeed fix the issue.

It would be nice if the Profile page can let the user know why their request to update their name was rejected. Or at least that it was rejected at all. The current behavior appears to the user as it web interface is simply failing to work properly.
