Registration : UserName validation with a regexp

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi all,

I'm trying to force new users to respect a naming convention in their usernames.

After some look in the code, it seems that jforum don't make any verifications on the username field.

Is it possible to activate it by a parameter, or may i modify the code ?
I plan to test the username with a server-side regexp match.

Thank you by advance,

Edlefou.

A no-code change way (but not too secure) to do this would be add in some Javascript validation to the user registration template that would check the supplied user name.

Of course, a hacker could get around this fairly easily, so the more secure way would be to modify the UserAction.insertSave() method to do your checks.
