If you want further control, you can also use regex. Here's how I have my
usernames set up (a bit more involved, but much finer control)
'username' => array(
'alphanumeric' => array(
'rule' => array('custom', '/[a-z0-9\_\-\.]$/i'),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Username must be a-z, 0-9, plus "_",
"-", " ", "."'
),
'between' => array(
'rule' => array('between', 5, 30),
'message' => 'Between 5 and 30 characters'
),
'checkUnique' => array(
'rule' => 'isUnique',
'message' => 'Username is in use. Choose another.'
)
)
The way this works, the username must be A) Unique, B) between 5 and 30
characters, and C) of the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, plus space ' ', hyphen
'-', underscore '_', and period '.'
I'll gladly explain this further if anyone wants to know anything else :-D
In the name of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of my sanity.
