How to allow only usernames with ...

Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2005 5:30 pm

Since we got a new user with only 1 alphabetic character in his name I ask me, how I can change this for further registration ?

Maybe the kids found this cool. I´m liberal, but in the long run we have the complete alphabet. Smile

Nuke allows you to set a minimum number of characters for both username and password if I remember correctly but there is no wau currently to set a minimum number/combinaions of numeric and alphabet charcters.
An interesting idea though for more thought.

I found in the administration and under preferences of nuke 6.5 only settings for the minimum password.

Minimum users password length between 3 and 10

In function userCheck in modules/Your_Account/index.php you should have a line similar to

Code:

if (strlen($username) > 25) $stop = "<center>"._NICK2LONG."</center>";

You could a line like this right after it

Code:

if (strlen($username) < 5) $stop = "<center>"._NICK2SHORT."</center>";

Thanks,
works great !

Translation for the your account language files e.g.:

lang-german:

Code:







define("_NICK2SHORT","Benutzername ist zu kurz. Es muss ein Minimum von 5 Zeichen sein.");

lang-english:

Code:







define("_NICK2SHORT","Nickname is too short. It must be a minimum of 5 characters");

----------
or clear and brief
lang-german:

Code:







define("_NICK2SHORT","Benutzername ist zu kurz. Minimum 5 Zeichen.");
