Is there any way to set "Select the level of strictness for username filtering" to only have letters? I have a problem with people signing up with 343432 234234 2342399r9 and such


Thanks for your time

No. The highest strictness available is alpha + numerics. If you wanted to modify this, you'd need to hack /register.php in the function userCheck:
switch ( $xoopsConfigUser['uname_test_level'] ) {
    case 0:
        // strict
        $restriction = '/[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]/';
        break;


Change to:
switch ( $xoopsConfigUser['uname_test_level'] ) {
    case 0:
        // strict
        [color=000080][b]$restriction = '/[^a-zA-Z_-]/';[/b][/color]
        break;

There is no telling what this will do to existing accounts with numbers in them. Back up your changes first.

well, since userCheck() is only called during the execution of register.php, I think it is clear that existing user accounts will not be modified. This modification will not prevent an admin from adding a alpha-numeric username in System -> Edit Users, only users registering using register.php

OK that is working like a champ, wondering where do I go to change the error message that shows up in red at the top.

Currently is tells the user

ERROR: Invalid Username


I would like it to say

ERROR: Invalid Username - Letters Only Please

Thanks for all your help

Open: /language/english/user.php

And change:

define('_US_INVALIDNICKNAME','ERROR: Invalid Username');


To read:

define('_US_INVALIDNICKNAME','ERROR: Invalid Username - Letters Only Please');
