ERROR: Displayname taken

Hello,

I upgraded from 2.0.13 to 2.2 Stable. When ever I try to register a new user it gives an error

ERROR: Displayname taken.

I have tried 10 different combinations. I just can register anyone.

I had this same issue with RC2 also. I see few others have had this issue.

Can anyone from XOOPS provide a solution please.

Thanks a lot

Taher

Try checking the database to ensure that the name is not already there. You can use this query, where XXXX is the name to be checked.

SELECT * FROM xoops_users WHERE uname='XXXX' OR loginname='XXXX'

Thanks Dave for taking time to respond.

I checked the table and it has only two users admin and test.

The usernames I am trying to register are real names, not generic like admin, test etc.

When I run the query you mentioned it returns 0 rows. Then why would it give that error on Web.

[XOOPS 2.2]

That string is defined in modules/profile/language/english/main.php:

define('_PROFILE_MA_DISPLAYNAMETAKEN','ERROR: Displayname taken.');


_PROFILE_MA_DISPLAYNAMETAKEN occurs in one place, in modules/profile/include/functions.php:

...
    if ($display_count > 0) {
        $stop .= _PROFILE_MA_DISPLAYNAMETAKEN."<br />";
    }
...


If I were experiencing this problem, I would insert some debug code in functions.php to figure out what's going on.

Hi Dave,

I am not much of a PHP programmer, just barely get my way around. The reason I am posting on forums is that I just have a plain XOOPS installation with new tables, So I thought many others would have same issue.

I will try to look further. But incase you have suggestions let me know

Taher
