No, I haven't changed nothing in bb_func..., just in options.

At present I have the following in my $userRegName (Russian Language Support). This does not allow users to register logins that have space in them (John Johnson). How can I solve this problem? Simply adding blank space to this doesn't seem to work.

$userRegName='_A-Za-z0-9АБВГДЕЁЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЪЫЬЭЮЯабвгдеёжзийкл мнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюя_-';

Add one empty space somewhere in the line, for example after "я", instead of the second "_" (because you have two of them).

To become:

'...я -'

or

'...я- '

It must work. I have a user Ултрамарина Ултрамаринова this way :)

Thank you, Ivan!

First one helped.

Hi,

Im trying to figure out how miniBB is doing user validation, while at the same time learn more about regular expressions. I think I understand it now, but there are two small details in bb_func_checkusr.php that bug me:

1) What is the meaning of the last backslash in

$userRegExp="#^[".$userRegName."]{3,40}$#"

Doesn't this escape the end-of-string anchor, and if so - why do that?

2) Why use preg_match for the user and eregi for everything else?

Not really critical, but clarification would be much appreciated...

Thanks,

Carlo

Hmmm... noticed that I have to escape the backlslash to make it show in the forum. Does this have anything to do with the answer to my question? This is what it looks like in the file:

$userRegExp="#^[".$userRegName."]{3,40}\$#";

1) What do you mean by backslash? Backslash is the symbol \ If you mean dollar sign, in regular expressions it means the end of the string (while ^ means the beginning of the string)
2) It's used just because used that way from the early ages. eregi and preg_match are almost identical functions.

I mean the symbol preceding the dollar sign, i.e. the \

As I understand it, putting this symbol just before the dollar sign should escape the dollar sign so that it actually does not mean the end of the line. But I guess I am missing something? This is not really a problem for me, just curious...

Thanks,

Carlo

Yes, putting this symbol before dollar sign will let parser know that the string actually contains this dollar sign at the end (in username), which is not really correct, actually.

I want to let our users register their ID in their own language.

Most people in Korea use their real names in registering their ID. Old people are not used to using English so I want to let our users register their ID in their own language. It will help us a lot if we can make it. I somewhere heard there is a way to do it. I hope it won't be difficult to do that. Thanks in advance.

there's a bit in setup_options.php

$userRegName='_A-Za-z0-9 ';

think you need to change that to include the appropriate korean characters.

how can I allow german umlauts like ä ü ö on registration in my german forums ?

In the line below add the letters that you need exactly where I have written you with bold.

$userRegName='_A-Za-z[here your additional letters]0-9 ';

This line is in the file setup_options.php.

Thanks, sounds very simple. I'll try it :)

EDIT: It works! Thanks again

Dear Sirs!
Unfortunately, changing $userRegName='_A-Za-z0-9 ' to $userRegName='_A-Za-zА-Яа-я0-9 ' in setup_options.php does not allow me to introduce Cyrillic to the names of my users. Also in bb_functions.php I did not found any checkUserData() procedure and $userRegExp variable, as it was described for Gizmo. Could you help me? Thank you in advance.
