Administrators Thanked: 9 times	You will need to create a plugin that hooks into users.register.add.validate and then you may check for any characters you don't want and then present an error

Team Thanked: 181 times	It needs simple plugin creation with «hooked» on `users.register.add.validate` With several lines of actual code: $L['aut_notallowedname'] = 'Only letters, digits, hyphen, underscore allowed for User name '; if (preg_match("/[/s&\'\?\"]/", $ruser['user_name'])) cot_error('aut_notallowedname', 'rusername'); Where «[/s&\'\?\"]» set of unallowed symbols. https://github.com/macik правильный хостинг — https://goo.gl/fjCa1F

It needs simple plugin creation with «hooked» on users.register.add.validate

With several lines of actual code:

$L['aut_notallowedname'] = 'Only letters, digits, hyphen, underscore allowed for User name ';
if (preg_match("/[/s&\'\?\"]/", $ruser['user_name'])) cot_error('aut_notallowedname', 'rusername');

Where «[/s&\'\?\"]» set of unallowed symbols.
