Hello!

I'd like to allow more 'complicated' passwords, i.e. with '.' and '-' too.

How to?

Edit bb_func_checkusr.php

Change regular expression inside

($act=='reg' and !eregi("^[A-Za-z0-9_]{5,32}$", $userData[2]))

to something like

($act=='reg' and !eregi("^[A-Za-z0-9_.-]{5,32}$", $userData[2]))

Before I try that: Will it really work?

Because you use "A-Z" to allow "A, B, C, ...".

So what about the ".-"? Will it allow "., (I don't know what comes after.)"?

JUST TRY IT :)

Deinitely, it will allow comma - , - but as about the quotes, it is not the best idea to use it in password.

For $act=='upd' too?

Btw: I didn't want to use the quotes. These were only for separation. ;-)

Yes, one function for all acts (it's miniBB, remember it :).

So not one function because you separate registration from updating a user. ;-)

Maybe there should a new variable like $userRegName for that in miniBB 1.5 setup_options.php.

But it's a really cool software. :-)

Hint: It's called "The Netherlands" with a leading "The".

We separate registration and update data, but the function for checking data is the same.

You are messing up password function and USERNAME function.

Maybe there should a new variable like $userRegName for that in miniBB 1.5 setup_options.php

IT'S ALREADY DONE, pay more attention :)

What this is about?

We separate registration and update data, but the function for checking data is the same.

But I have to change the expression twice, right?

You mean in miniBB 1.5? But I can't download the pre-build. So where should I know that from?

What this is about?

The country list in user_dataform.html.

But I have to change the expression twice, right?

ONLY ONCE. Where have you find that you can change it twice?
You are still messing up expressions for password and username - they are DIFFERENT.

You mean in miniBB 1.5?

Oh my God, in miniBB 1.4 of course, as much as in 1.3, 1.2 and 1.1, and even 1.0 - it's the option from the very beginning!

The country list in user_dataform.html
It's a copy of list from Microsoft HOTMAIL site :)

I asked you "For $act=='upd' too?" and you said "Yes".

You talk about the $userRegName variable, but I mean a password variable to define the allowed characters in a user's password. I didn't find one in 1.4.

Then forget it. *g*

I asked you "For $act=='upd' too?" and you said "Yes".

I thought - BOTH FOR ALL ACTS, the function is the same :)

Ah, got it. You've just said "Maybe there should a new variable like $userRegName for that in miniBB 1.5 setup_options.php" - and it already is something like this :) No, that option will not be included. Your problem is very rare, you are the first who is asking for this within a year. Most people are satisfied.

Personally, I think, there is no need to include something like these. People will include international symbols and they will be wandering later, why it is not working etc, etc... Why to have problems, if we are not having them? :)

Looks like most of our problems arise with the English language. ;-)

That is :)

But the most important part is we got the idea at the very end :)

Indeed. :-)
