error user account creation on registration

Hello. Some users try to register by entering uppercase or even spaces in the username field on the registration form.
Events Booking accepts however the registration, but does not add the user in Joomla.
How do I add a validation Regex on username field?

Could you give us a sample username which is having this error? I don't recall Joomla core has any limitation to username, so I don't know why this issue happens

OPS ... you're right. I made some tests and the problem is not Joomla but Moodle: we use Joomdle component to synchronize users between Joomla and Moodle (we sell residential and online courses).
Moodle has some limitations for username: can contain only lowercase alphanumeric characters, underscore, minus, dot and @.
But in Event Booking there isn't a limitation to it and if a username has an invalid character, the registration goes smoothly, but when joomdle tries to create the moodle user gets an error, and the user is not created in joomla/moodle
Is it possible to add a validation rule to username field? How can I do it?

Thank you
Roberto

Hello Roberto

Unfortunately, that's not supported at the moment. You will have to hire someone to customize the code if you want to implement this validation.

The method you need to customize is components/com_eventbooking/controller/controller.php, method validate_username

I am trying to use a jQuery validation.
I saw that there is already a jQuery validation in the user name field, I created a custom regex validator in /com_eventbooking/helper/jquery.php but I can't find where I can define it to the username field

You will need to edit the code of registration form to insert that custom validation. Look at components/com_eventbooking/view/register/tmpl/register_user_registration.php , find the input for password, and insert the custom validation rule you added and it should work

Thank you Tuan.
It's strange: I'have modified the file /components/com_eventbooking/view/register/tmpl/register_user_registration.php adding a custom validator, but in the register page, the class still not present.
The validator works because if I add it with firebug, works as expected.
I deleted all cache file in Joomla and in the browser.

Maybe it is because you made an override for that field before? What is the code you want to add? You can submit a support ticket sending us super admin account of your site, the link to the page and tell us the code you want to add. I will have my developer to help doing the modification for you

Yes, it was so. I had created an override, I do not know why, perhaps during some tests in the past.
Now it works perfectly, thanks a lot.

Great. As long as it works, we are all happy
