AppGini Community Forums

I want to use a "forward slash" like this in the username, / EG: my/name

Can anyone point me in the right direction,

Thanks

Pat

I guess not

A) What exactly is the problem you have? Any error messages?
and
B) If there are problems with your specific member-naming-idea, why don't you just follow the well working AppGini standard? Just would like to know the reason. Are you planning LDAP integration or something?

Did you try with backslash \ like in Microsoft Active Directory (*commercial product)

incFunctions.php contains is_allowed_username() function which denies a slash character in standard AppGini code.

First step for you could be modifying that function according to you needs. I cannot guarantee that this will be the only change required.

Obviously, you would have to test all places in Users-Area and in Admin-Area if you want to be sure, such memberIDs don't break existing functionality. There may be more placed in which valid username will be checked against built-in username-convention.

Thanks for the reply.

I have managed to add a forward slash to a username

Have a nice day

Please paste your solution here for others.

Hi Jsetzer

There is no code to post.
I added the username without the " / "
Then went into phpadmin and added a "/" there.
Seems to work okay.

I add all new usernames (getting the new member to fill in an appgini form) myself and only expect a small number of usernames like this.




Thx Pat

I'm stuck on 5.97 AppGini due the impossibility to re-use the LDAP auth trick (viewtopic.php?t=2707) on newer versions, after function logInMember() disappeared.

Has anyone managed to activate the feature in the new versions ?
