No Special Characters in Usernames
Author Message
This is a fairly useless plugin.  It just disallows usernames which have characters other than a-z, 0-9 and _ in them (can allow more characters by changing the setting under "User Registration and Profile Options").
I recall someone requesting this, which is why I made it.

Otherwise, just posting it here to increase my post count.

RE: No Special Characters in Usernames
After (Line 3)

PHP Code:
if(!defined('IN_MYBB'))
	die('This file cannot be accessed directly.');

You could add

PHP Code:
$tableprefix = ($mybb->version_code>=1400?'':TABLE_PREFIX);

instead of using it (Line 28)

PHP Code:
	$tableprefix = ($mybb->version_code>=1400?'':TABLE_PREFIX);

and (Line 45)

PHP Code:
	$db->delete_query(($mybb->version_code>=1400?'':TABLE_PREFIX).'settings', 'name="stduname_allowedchars"');

PS great plugin thanks!

Yumi, is there any chances to make it works for guests too (when a guest create a newthread or full newreply)?
