Username not displayed properly

Dan_Ryan

October 2015 in phpBB

Hi,

I've noticed that when a user signs up through Facebook their username is changed to display like this:

'john.doe' instead of 'John Doe'

Is there a setting to change this?

Thanks,
Dan

EDIT: After messing around with the code I figured it out. Thanks anyway!!

I'm having the same problem. john.doe
I want it to show John Doe
I have commented this out
//$data ['user_login'] = str_replace (' ', '', trim ($data ['user_login']));
I have also change the user registration to allow any letter number and space.
still nothing works.
Please Help!!

Hello,

Just out of curiousity:
Have you allowed spacers in your username settings?
ACP > General > user registration settings > limit username chars:
- alphanumeric and spacers
- any letters, number, and spacer
- any character

Perhaps if you haven't, it might cause to rewrite the username.

Make sure to select 'No' for if this post has answered your question.

Good day , I have another problem , in settings registration phpbb is : any letters, numbers and separators , when account registered through social networks, phpbb name entered without separators as "DzhonSmit"

I temporarily fixed the problem by changing the limit of characters in the name to "any character "
I think that this problem is not in the oneall login, and in the Forum
can you help?

Hi,
The plugin also removes spaces in user logins, regardless of the PhpBB forum settings.

Hi, can i insert space by myself in php code of plugin?

Hi,
The space removal is done in file sociallogin_acp_module.php, around line 1536
($data ['user_login'] = str_replace (' ', '', trim ($data ['user_login']));).
You could remove this line if you want to keep spaces.

Hope this helps.

It seems commenting that out with // doesn't do the trick. Should the line then be removed altogether?

Or this there another way of doing it? Has someone tested it to work for sure?

Can you help?
