Username with non-english characters

talhaa

I use Version 2.1a4 and users can't enter latin characters like ç-é-ö-ş for their username.
The other discussions about this topic is a bit dated so I wonder if anybody found a solution for this.

I know that I have to define this as Regex (/^([a-zA-Z\s\ö\ç\ş\ı\ğ\ü\Ö\Ç\Ş\İ\Ğ\Ü]+)$/)

I tried it on config.php and functions.validation.php files and it didn't make any change.

You are using some damn bleeding edge code there.

I've defined a minimal username regex constant in the usermodel that should work for your purposes{

const USERNAME_REGEX_MIN = '^\/"\\\\#@\t\r\n';

The code that grabs the config value is quite a bit quirky. It adds square brackets and other stuff around the config value.

Thanks. I've tried this alternative but couldn't get it to work. Could you please see if this looks right to you?

const USERNAME_REGEX_MIN = '^\/"\\\\#@\t\r\n\ö\ç\ş\ı\ğ\ü\Ö\Ç\Ş\İ\Ğ\Ü';

Figuring out regex on sight is not one of my strong suits. When I came up with my regex above I copied ValidateUsername() from functions.validate.php to a test file and just kept retrying until it worked. I recommend that path.
