Summary0004471: Can't add email addresses as usernames from [Manage Accounts][Create New Account]
Description

However, an account can later be edited and the username changed to an email address.

We would like to always be able to set usernames as email addresses. We have multiple clients logging into and managing private projects in Mantis; email address is a good choice for usernames.

Additional Information

APPLICATION ERROR 0000805

The username is invalid. Usernames may only contain letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.

TagsNo tags attached.

This is easily tweaked.


  • copy $g_user_login_valid_regex from config_defaults_inc.php to config_inc.php and add '\@' and '.' (and any other required characters)

  • grep for ERROR_USER_NAME_INVALID in the appropriate language file(s) (e.g. lang/strings_english.txt) and update it/them to reflect the new rule


It's still (presumably) a bug that the rule isn't re-enforced when the account is updated. And it's at least an RFE that:


  1. these characters aren't included by default

  2. the field is only 32 characters long, which is a bit short for those pesky aloysiusfoobar@somelongcompanyname.com addresses

Just upgraded. Still an issue; would be nice to have fixed be default. FYI.
