username issues with phpnuke

New Member Joined: Jan 04, 2005 Posts: 5

with the recent attacks on php sites. My gaming clan had to switch to phpnuke. When we did this we had to start our member list over.
but now none of our clan or other clans that come to the site can not use there clan tags example( (A.S.S) , [ARC] )
i have seen other post on other forums about this but no answers. any help would be nice

In modules/Your_Account/index.php is this code (or similar)

Code:

    if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";

Try changing it to (not tested)

Code:

    if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-\[\]\(\)]",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";

hey that worked. but when the site sends the New User Account Activation email and you follow the link. it takes you to a page that says The html tags you attempted to use are not allowed. is there another file that has to be changed also.
or is there something in the data base.

mainfile.php in the foreach logic and possibly config.php.

sorry about that but the error is Warning: ereg(): REG_ERANGE in /webroot/a/s/asscl001/www/modules/Your_Account/index.php on line 30

this is my line 30

if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-\[\]\{\}]",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";

ok i fixed the error in line 30 with this
if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9\[\]\{\}\|_-]",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";
but when the site sends the New User Account Activation email and you follow the link.it takes you to a page that says The html tags you attempted to use are not allowed.
i have tried the no email hack but still the same thing The html tags you attempted to use are not allowed.

You need to tweak the mainfile.php code. There are several threads on this if you look Smile
