Valid username characters

[Excess]

I just upgraded a formtools installation to core version 2.2.1 from 1.x.x. In 1.x.x we set the client's usernames to be the same as thier email address. In the current build I get an error that reads:

The client's user name may only consist of alphanumeric characters (a-Z and 0-9).

Is there any way to allow the '@' symbol in a username?

Hi Excess,

I'm afraid not... are you in a situation where you can't change the username? Or are you using email for username?

I was hoping for a setting that could be used to override this requirement, but I will make do.

Email address was the username. I will chop the @ sign and domain off the currnet username and send out an email to let users know thier login has changed.

Thanks for the info.

That's a pain, sorry about that. And I like the fact that you used to be able to use the @ symbol for the username. Emails are far better in most cases as the username.

If you haven't already done so, don't send out those emails. I'll include a change in 2.2.2 that makes it work like before. It'll be released next week.
