downgrade 7.6v3.1 -> 7.6 ?

I'd like to downgrade 7.6v3.1patched to 7.6, is it possible to do so by just overwriting the files or is there a database edit as well? the issue is with not allowing space in usernames--I'd like to go back to the regular version. if only a rewrite, do i have to overwrite it all or only certain files and folders?

Thanks Smile

Why? You are making your system more vulnerable to hackers and other sorts of problems. Yes there are database changes, mostly for the forums.

mostly to be able to give the spaces back to usernames unless there's a fix/tweak/hack somewhere for that. i've seen a few (i searched Wink

) but didn't find any that worked.

In modules/Your_Account/index.php

First you have to delete

Code:




if (strrpos($username,' ') > 0) $stop = "<center>"._NICKNOSPACES."</center>";

Next you have to change the regular expression here to allow a space

Code:




"[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]"





TO





"[^a-zA-Z0-9_- ]"

I believe that should work.
Hopefully that's all it should take. See... and no need to downgrade anything. I don't recommend downgrading anything except from the latest phpNuke releases from FB Smile

Thanks

There were two instances of that code

Code:

"[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]"

that needed changing before it took.... now to see if i can find the auth email generator.... the auth URL was cut because of the space so had to copy/paste it.

any hints for that? Wink

thanks for your time!

You mean the confirmation email for creating accounts? I haven't looked at the exact code, but you may need to use urlencode() where the username is passed
