limiting the number of characters in the username

[Sincere]

Hello

I often have people signing up with very very long usernames...

some people even put their email adress as their username, such as [email protected]

It would be interesting if we can limit the username to something like 20 characters.

Open Forum / themes / default / register.template.php

Find:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna


<input type="text" name="user" size="20" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" maxlength="25" />

change maxlength to the maximum username length.

You will also need to edit the register.template.php of your other themes

I thank you very much for this very kind help and your time.

I in fact only have one theme, the default, and users are not allowed to choose another

PLEASE, tell me, in private if you wish, how much I should send you (paypal is preferred)

What version of SMF are you using?  These lines make sure that it's not too long.  This is for 1.1 RC2

// Don't use too long a name.
if ($func['strlen']($regOptions['username']) > 25)
$regOptions['username'] = $func['htmltrim']($func['substr']($regOptions['username'], 0, 25));

25 chars is far too long. 16 is more than enough

Open Subs-Members.php and on line ~621 and ~622 change the 25 to what ever # you want.
