Hi all!

If the user wants to use a mail as a login - the message is given out: "Invalid format for username: mail@domain.com"
What module is responsible for this check.
I have examined a database and users.def - there is no restriction.
I want to allow to use to users a mail as a login.
Prompt the correct decision.

BR,

Same here, is that why the import from Links 2 failed? Links 2 uses the email address as a user name, or at least that is what it uses when imported into Linkssql 2.

Links::Table::Users::_plg_add is responsibe for pre-add user authentication checks.
Links::Authenticate::auth_valid_format is responsibe to check if username has valid format.

The code in auth_valid_format
is responsible for rejecting the username.

This can be overrided by a plugin.

I had this problem too and wanted to clarify what's been posted here. An email address under 25 chars. *will work* as a username, it's only if it's longer than the 25 char. hardcoded limit which has since been fixed by GT. The hardcoded limit should be 50 to correspond to the default length of the username property which is 50.




In glinks3, it has been updated as follows:

During the decision of this problem there was a second question:
If I create the user in the control panel there is no check on presence of a mail in a database.
How it to correct?

More in detail: If registration goes through a site the message is given out: " The email address you entered is already taken. "
If I add the user in the control panel check goes only on a field "Username",
In a result at me some users with the same address have appeared.

There wasn't a plug in for this to work in Linkssql 2.2 or 2.1, it worked out of the box.

I don't know what you are talking about...
I just told, "This problem can be overrided by a plugin."

EDIT: also it is possible to fix by direct modification, but I always stated this is not recommended, because of upgrade compatibility problems.

EDIT2: also it seems you also had such problems... Loxly: "Same here, is that why the import from Links 2 failed? Links 2 uses the email address as a user name, or at least that is what it uses when imported into Linkssql 2."

Only sure way of preventing duplicate email addresses getting through is to change the Column Index property of Email_Address (in User properties) to "Unique" instead of "Regular".

Also, if you use the Email Selected Users function, there's a problem if you have duplicate email addresses (link to post below).
