How to reserve usernames?
Hello,

How do I set reserved usernames? I would like to block a few usernames from being used in the signup form.

Thank you,
Dave

Hi,

The simplest way, would be to install GCommunity, and then setup the reserved usernames there , in the following area:

Setup > User Signup > signup_restricted_username

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Hi Andy,

Thanks for answering.
G community is a great program with many features.

I was looking for a sub where I could input a list of names. Something simpler than g community.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

Sorry, didn't quite understand your last sentence =)

What I was saying, is that you CAN restrict usernames that can be signed up for, but only in GCommunity.

If you don't want to install GCommunity, then it can just as easily be achieved with a custom plugin that hooks in on the user_signup hook. If you want this done, please email/PM me, and I can give you some more details.

Cheers
