XF 2.2 How to dissalow login to xenforo using email adress?

[Spidpex]

Is there a way to force users to login using their ID's only, and enforce pure a-z letters and 0-9 numbers with no special letters in that login, with a maximum of 16 letters as login name?

You can use regex to force a specific user name pattern as you suggest, but there's nothing built in to prevent logging in with email address.

Do you by any chance have the regex code to enforce this?

 

[Paul B]

This regex should work: /^[a-z0-9]+$/i

The maximum characters is a registration option setting.

 

[Spidpex]

Great!
Thanks alot Brogan!

 

[HotRodCarts]

@Brogan if I lower the maximum characters will it effect members that are already registered with longer names than the new limit I set?

Thanks!

 

[Paul B]

No, that option applies to new registrations only.

A quick followup question: is it also possible the limit of usage of captial letters to only the first letter of the username?

 

[Paul B]

Untested but possibly: /^[A-Z][a-z0-9]+$/

 

[Spidpex]

Again, with one last follow-up question! Is it possible to do the same for passwords too? to enforce a maximum numbers of letters/numbers to 16, and only allow a-z letters aswell as 0-9 numbers in it?

 

[Paul B]

That would require custom development.
