username character limit

apti

How can I change the username character limit from 20 to something higher than that?

Thanks!

@Lincoln: it was added only at 2011-05-31, so he should need to run at least 2.0.18b2

I recommend doing 2 things then: 1) Add that to your config with the new values anyway and 2) Fixing it in /library/core/functions.validation.php in the ValidateUsernameRegex function (just search the file for "3,20").

That way when you upgrade it will overwrite your hack in #2 and replace it with the new one that uses the config setting.

Add this to your config.php

$Configuration['Garden']['User']['ValidationLength'] = '{3,20}';

where 3 is the minimum length and 20 is the max length. Modify as desired.
