This is a vB 3.7 port of the same mini mod.
( Restrict usernames to alphanumeric and underscore )
What is this Plugin about?
Are you tired of seeing in your forums usernames like these?:
1.- The Super Boy (spaces)
2.- my_new_name (underscore abuse)
3.- imçañóndábèar (international characters)
Well, with this simple addon you can prevent that from happening from now on (it can't correct already spoiled usernames). When a user tries to register using one of those chars, a nice error message makes sure the user picks another "normal" name.
Installation instructions
1.- Download the attached .xml
2.- Go to Admin Control Panel => Plugin System => Manage Products => Add/Import Product => and browse for the the location where you downloaded the .xml
3.- Hit Import
4.- To configure it (not really needed, but it is there), go to Vbulletin Forum Options => Restrict Usernames on registration
By default this addon prevents spaces and any char other than numbers and (english) letters while allowing underscore.
**Disclaimer**
This mod is not absolutely necessary as vBulletin allows you to do what this mod does and more from within the Admin Panel:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> User Registration Options -> Username Regular Expression
You only need to use this mod if you don't want to deal with Regular Expressions.
