Registration and login with upper and lowercases

7 years 10 months ago #283157 by activha
Registration and login with upper and lowercases was created by activha
Hello

Is there a way to eliminate differences between upper cases and lower cases usernames for registrations and log ins ?

What i mean is :
- if a user register with USERname or USERNAME, can I use some kind of auto action to save only username ?
- if a user is already registered with USERNAME or USERname, is it possible for him to log in with username ? what change would be needed for this ?

Thanks
Jean

Yes, a Field action.

- if a user is already registered with USERNAME or USERname, is it possible for him to log in with username ? what change would be needed for this ?

Usernames are not treated as case sensitive so it doesn't matter for login purposes.

You can't register userName and Username same time, unless you choose a non-standard database collation. All utf8_ci (ci for Case Insensitive) collations will do searches and matches independently.

If your login is case-sensitive you should check your database collation, in particular for the username column in jos_users table.

I guess that [cb:parsefunction="convert" method="uppercase"][username][/cb:parse] would be enough with a after user registration trigger ?

How can I also force all present usernames to convert ?

If you want the username to be entirely uppercase, yes.

How can I also force all present usernames to convert ?

Single quick database query on _users table to convert the username to uppercase.

ouppss sorry was lowercase instead :-(

I guess that format function is needed in the parameters, but is there any other references or setting to add ?

What would you suggest for trigger : onafteruserregistration only ?
