Re: username size error

Hi,

You can change it in the administration menu under:

Preferences -> User info settings

Check that the DataBase field for the uname supports more than 25 characters.

Even if you set 50 in XOOPS in DB only supports 25 you can't go higher.

Re: username size error

Right,

By default the uname field in the database table users is: varchar(25)

The maximum length of the username field on the registration form is hardcoded as 25:

include/registerform.php

$reg_form->addElement(new XoopsFormText(_US_NICKNAME, "uname", 26, 25, $uname), true);
