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?

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.

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" />

Thanks, it works for my forum members. For me the problem is in Opera, which switches automatically charset to Cyrillic

I have to search through browser preferences.

In Opera:

1. Choose Tools from the menu
2. Select Preferences
3. Under Language select Details
4. Change the character set to iso-8859-1

Should this enable spaces in user names? I've been trying to get that to work with no luck so far.

I made the changes listed to Register.pl above. I didn't make any changes to ProfileEdit.pl. What's the line I'm looking for there?
