XF 2.1 void username with space and special characters

[hellboy78]

how to void, during users registration, to use spaces and special characters in username field?

thats will make all easier into my payment system

Use user name regex validation and set it to use alphanumeric characters only - /^[a-z0-9]+$/i.

where? how?

 

[hellboy78]

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Users and Registration -> User Name Match Regular Expression

that will exclude all special characters and spaces ?
/^[a-z0-9]+$/i

how to edit this phrase during registration?

"Please enter a name that is at least 3 characters long"

and how to change this setting to 4 characters?

and how to change this setting to 4 characters?

Admin CP -> Options -> User registration -> Username length limit

Set the minimum to 4 (this will update the phrase so you do not need to edit it).

on xenforo 2.2
this doesn't allow also spaces. and it's good

but on xenforo 2.1
spaces are still allowed, I don't understand why

I don't see any reason why this could happen. Bear in mind: This only affects newly registered users.

I had a similar RegEx on XF 2.1 and it worked well (no spaces allowed).
