I subscribed Olivier Dony and openerp-community list for notifications of this bug. Please pay attention to it.
The problem in two words is that OpenERP highly restrict us with email addresses we can use for users. So we can't use for example: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] etc. It's why we can't add a portal user for customer if its email doesn't match to this ugly designed expression. Please, keep in mind that this bug also posted in July, so it's already 6 months ago! Does everyone like that time of bugs consideration? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenERP Community, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1199386 Title: Email address regular expression needs work Status in OpenERP Addons (modules): New Status in OpenERP Server: New Bug description: During testing with my email-address '[email protected]' I noticed a couple of things: 1. The partner contact with that email-address can't be given access to the portal by the portal wizard, it fails on creation of the user in addons/mail/res_user.py:68 : if not data.get('login', False): raise osv.except_osv(_('Invalid Action!'),...))) 2. The login field is empty, because the portal wizard uses the email field to create a login in addons/portal/wizard/portal_wizard.py:177 : 'login': extract_email(wizard_user.email), The extract_email function in portal_wizard.py uses 'email_re' to determine what the login field should look like. 'email_re' is defined as in multiple places, which is the first problem. It at least in tools/mail.py and tools/import_email.py. (The latter contains email information from the 'steel-sa.com ' (?!?) domain by the way.) email_re = re.compile(r""" ([a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9] # username part @ # mandatory @ sign [a-zA-Z0-9][\w\.-]* # domain must start with a letter ... Ged> why do we include a 0-9 then? \. [a-z]{2,3} # TLD ) """, re.VERBOSE) Problems I see: 1. The email_re is defined in multiple places; make it one; 2. It forces to have email-addresses with at least 2 characters for the user part, of which the first must contain a letter; addresses like [email protected] won't work then; is there a reason for this? 3. the TLD must contain 2 or 3 characters, which is unsuitable for domains like .name or .info To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+bug/1199386/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
