I would like a plugin that add an option to the profile menu that allow users to delete and/or disable themselves.
It is important that the plugin trigger all the plugin callbacks on update and delete.
Maybe this is more a request for a api enabling calls into CB. Methods could be: deleteUser, disableUser, approveUser, rejectUser, addField, removeField,...
I quess the code is there but it would be nice with handles that does not redirect the browser or has other side-effects but triggers the plugin callbacks.
For an example see function removeUsers( $cid, $option ) in admin.comprofiler.php on line 1152.
The CB core team has already thought about the user removal function from front-end, although this is not a joomla-feature yet...
It's not a straightforward process as you want to insure:
a) that the user-delete really comes from the user himself
b) that the user is aware of all the irreversible effects of his deletion
c) that all gets deleted what should get deleted, but no more.
a) and b) is a workflow implementation
c) is a started in the plugin API with RC2.
These are the reasons it's not implemented in core RC2.
Once c) is well-covered and tested with back-end deletes, and if possible joomla core supports it, we will move forward with a) and b).
