Auto Verification

[live627]

Might be a mod conflict. Can you list your mods please?

I suggest to implement a 'minimum username lenght' check:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=179439.0
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=278230.0

I think there is no sense to register an username with a lenght inferior to 3 characters.
Auto verification could potentially increase new registrations with shorter usernames, due to username availability check.

I think there is no sense to register an username with a lenght inferior to 3 characters.

I implemented successfully the minimum username check:

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Clean it up like mother would.
$context['checked_username'] = preg_replace('~[\t\n\r\x0B\0' . ($context['utf8'] ? ($context['server']['complex_preg_chars'] ? '\x{A0}' : "\xC2\xA0") : '\xA0') . ']+~' . ($context['utf8'] ? 'u' : ''), ' ', $context['checked_username']);
if (strlen($context['checked_username']) > 25)
$context['checked_username'] = strip_tags(substr($context['checked_username'], 0, 25));

After:
      

Code Select Expand

if (strlen($context['checked_username']) < 3)
$context['valid_username'] = false;


Now I'm doing an integer check like this:

Code Select Expand

if (is_int($context['checked_username']))
$context['valid_username'] = false;

But it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for any help.

I'd appreciate an help for anyone knows php.

Code Select Expand

if (is_numeric($context['checked_username']))
$context['valid_username'] = false;

Could someone make this work for forums that allow guests to make posts?

When guest posting is enabled, they are not allowed to choose a username that has already been taken. Instead of going through multiple tries, this mod could easily tell the guest if the username is good to use.

Please let me know.

In my forum, guests are allowed to post. A guest *must* enter their username before posting. If they choose a name that is already taken by a member and they click "Post", an error will come up saying that the username is already taken, please try again.

I was asking if this mod could be applied to the post.template so that a guest realizes before clicking "Post" that the name they choose is taken already. Instead of going through multiple tries and clicking "Post", this mod could easily tell the guest if the username is good to use.

Could anyone do this for me?

I'm not sure you have described what the mod does.  Does it check the input on some sort of list somewhere?

[Arantor]

No. It does what SMF 2.0 does: checks the username is available, checks password is sufficiently long and stuff.

You only need it if you are still using 1.1.x.
