Administrators Thanked: 9 раз	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

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

With several lines of actual code:

PHP

        
              $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.
