Username Length lockdown

[Yourmum90]

Hi,

I was looking for a way to stop users from creating usernames that are over 15 characters long as this messes up the theme. I am using a MacLike theme and i have changed the register.template.php file and set it to 15 but i can still register with 15+ usernames. I have checked the MacLike theme as this is the default for new users but it doesn't have this file.

Is there an addon or something to do this?

Themes\Default\Registration.template.php

Code Select Expand

<input type="text" name="user" id="smf_autov_username" size="30" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" maxlength="25" value="', isset($context['username']) ? $context['username'] : '', '" class="input_text" />


Change maxlength="25" to 15

hi that's what i have done but i am using a custom theme (MacLike) i assume i need to do the same in that theme? if so that file does not exist.

only if that theme has it's own Registration.template.php, which most custom themes do not, so it should just the the default one.

you say the file is called registration.template.php on mine it's register.template.php but it still works either way.

I was on my cell so missed you the file name. I'm glad that you got it sorted .
