Lock User Names

How Do I stop a new user from making a account using the user name Adam with out making an account for every name i dont want them to use in Dolphin 7.1

No. He wants to stop people from using specific user names.

Dolphin does not have a way to do that built in. There are some topics on it. A but old tho. http://www.boonex.com/googlesearch/search?q=Restrict+user+names&gse_filter=googlesearch

There was also a free nickname filter in the market. But that no longer seems to exist.

Great, another module in the market that should not be there because it has not been checked and updated by the vendor for 3 years.

I disagreed, it should be there. Otherwise, some of us wouldn't be able to figure it out on our own. Based on free download... I have made modification and minor fixed from there.

I have changed from "DontUsedNickName" to "UsernameRestriction"

phpMyAdmin> sys_profile_fields

find ID 2 and click edit, go to Check

return ( preg_match( '/^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/', $arg0 ) and !file_exists( $dir['root'] . $arg0 ) );

change to

return ( UsernameRestriction($arg0) and preg_match( '/^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/', $arg0 ) and !file_exists( $dir['root'] . $arg0 ) );

inc/design.inc.php

add this at the end

function UsernameRestriction($NickName)

{

       $ausernamerestriction[] = "support";

       $ausernamerestriction[] = "administrator";

       $ausernamerestriction[] = "admin";       

       /*

        you can add more values here example :

        $ausernamerestriction[] = "<your values>";

       */

       foreach($ausernamerestriction as $aKey => $aValue)

       {

          if ( strpos("ZYX".$NickName,$aValue) > 0 )

             return false;

       }  

       return true;

}

I tried case sensitive and still able to register. Is there an easier fix or do we have to add "Support, Admin, Administrator, SUPPORT, ADMIN, ADMINISTRATOR" as well?

There was an involved discussion on how to have wild cards etc. on the missing mod.  You restrict admin, you may want to restrict the_admin, and so on.

LOL, do what I do. Create a nothing account with each name you want to restrict. If it already exists, they can't use it. That's how it goes at Boonex. Ya gotta think inside the box....

To make it easer can I make accounts in side the Adam settings? I don't think I have that many e-mail address I can use for all the the accounts I would have to set up haha

No, that is not available.  If it was me; I would do it with a php script that uses a query to add them to the database directly.
