Forbid the use of some symbols in USERNAME · **Released**: 09-25-2005

Hi all...
It came to my mind to put a code to forbid the use of some characters & symbols in members' usernames when they first register at my forums..

Sometimes usage of these characters & symbols leads to usernames like: .:*#juggler#*:. and so..

this code simply allow users to just register with Letters, Numbers and Space..

share your opinion

Salam..

You can just add whatever characters you don't want them to use in the vBulletin options.

What would be nice is the ability to deny spaces in usernames at reg.

(Boofo: where can we specify characters? Is it the place we specify names?)

you can remove whatever characters u want..
to deny the usage of SPACE do the following:
open the plugin PHP Code,
then search for this piece of code

Code:

	if(!in_array(ord($chars[$i]),Array(32,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,194,195,196,197,198,199,200,201,202,203,204,205,206,207,208,209,210,211,212,213,214,216,217,218,219,220,221,222,223,225,227,228,229,230,237)))

then remove the number "32" and the comma following it from the array

Regards,

That where I have it and you should be able to use the space code in there to not allow spaces too, I would think.

Regards,

ghroob, if you weren't just pixels representing text on my screen, I might just kiss you.

@Boofo: You too...if you mean   or can tell me.

Where can we edit the symbols in vbulletin options?

ged · #9 09-27-2005, 03:57 PM

This is a wonderful hack, thank you very much!

Find the settings group(in vb otions) for: User Registration Options
Then find the setting for: Illegal User Names

Then just enter _ or * or any other charechter in there.
