RESOLVED members username cant contain spaces or charectors? Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2008 6:31 pm

Hi, all i have been searching on how i can allow new users to have charectors like
space " ",
Pipe "|"
comma ","
{ } or [ ] what ever theyre called ;)

I have found scripts to edit in modules/your_account/index.php like

Code:

if (isset($username) && (ereg("[^A-Za-z0-9\s]",$username))) {

but none of these work in the sense, a new user can create an account using for example john doe,
it gets accepted and receive an email back with activation link, when you click the link it says no user in in the database tables with that name?

anyone have any ideas please?

thanks

I believe that is for security purposes that they have that there. It helps people from executing commands to get into your database.

As for how to bypass it. I don't know.

Donations for custom work is appreciated at [HS]

You can also just delete this: && (ereg("[^A-Za-z0-9\s]",$username))
So all characters can be used.

isnt there a way just to add the ones i need instead of deleting them all

Hi, ok i tried the file you sent but i got "illegal username" for every name i tried to register with, even normal/basic ones like "john" or "steve" without spaces or other charecters.

strange

Nuke 8.1 members username cant contain spaces or charectors? Posted: Sat Oct 11, 2008 11:22 am

hi, ok uploaded that index.php, and am allowed to register with "john doe" (using a space),
i receive email, click activation link,then when i log in with "john doe" i get error

"There is no user in the database with this information.
You can register a new user from here."

Now, if i go into my phpmyadmin dbadmin tables, i can see the user "john doe" in nuke_users_temp but not in the "nuke_users" table

??

That means the account wasn't activated.
I'll have a look if I can find the problem.
