ok, got a small problem, we are a gameing clan and our tag has [] in it, is there anyway to edit the register.pl to allow this? I found a line that I thought would work but didnt.

Code

error_reg($registertxt[27]) if($FORM{'username'} !~ /\A[0-9A-Za-z%+,\.†^_ ]+\Z/);
	error_reg($registertxt[27]) if($FORM{'username'} !~ /\A[0-9A-Za-z%+,\.†^_ ]+\Z/);
	error_reg($registertxt[21]) if($FORM{'email'} !~ /\A([0-9A-Za-z\._\-]{1,})@([0-9A-Za-z\._\-]{1,})+\.([0-9A-Za-z\._\-]{1,})+\Z/);

I tried numerous ways to get the [] characters to work in the username, but to no avail. also would like to add the {} characters as well, I know they are used in code so this makes it hard but I tried to use \[ and that didnt work, maybe I am even going about it the wrong way.....any suggestions?

It's not what is seen that matters, it's character

I'm not a Perl expert, but those characters, no matter where you put them, tell the interpreter how to execute code. You could search Google and see if there is a solution to including your special characters in a string for Perl, but I am unsure of how to do it.

Even if your idea seems whack, stick with it and make it happen.

Should do it. But that's just for register. You'll need to do something similar to ProfileEdit.pl.

I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

thanks justin, works on edit profile now, but still doesnt work on the register.pl. Not a real big deal, members will just have to register without the tag then change it in profile later. heres what I changed profileedit.pl to.

Code

error($profiletxt[66]) if($FORM{'sn'} !~ /\A[0-9A-Za-z#%+,-\.@†\[\]^_ "']+\Z/ && !$disablesn);

I may try to change register.pl to

Code

!~ /\A[0-9A-Za-z#%+,-\.@†\[\]^_ "']+\Z/ && !$disablesn);

and see if that works. Also noticed that the error_reg($registertxt[27]) is repeated, that on purpose or accident? also do i need to change both of them?

In Register.pl find:

Code

$unerror = 1 if($URL{'u'} !~ /\A[0-9A-Za-z%+,\.@†^_ ]+\Z/);

and change to:

Code

$unerror = 1 if($URL{'u'} !~ /\A[0-9A-Za-z#%+,-\.@†\[\]^_ "']+\Z/ && !$disablesn);

Find:

Code

error_reg($registertxt[27]) if($FORM{'username'} !~ /\A[0-9A-Za-z%+,\.@†^_ ]+\Z/);

and change to:

Code

error($profiletxt[66]) if($FORM{'sn'} !~ /\A[0-9A-Za-z#%+,-\.@†\[\]^_ "']+\Z/ && !$disablesn);

I think there is also a typo here, the error_reg($registertxt[27]) line is there twice so delete one of them.

I wonder is it possible to make special characters available in forum messages? For example an English Pound sign: £ It converts to something but not back.

You just need to do the £ sign, it needs no speciel code.

If you need to use code then you would have to enable html in posts.

Thanks for the advise! Anyway £ doesn't work either on my forums.

Try changing this in your template.html:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

to this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
