Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Allowing Special Characters In Names

I recently replied to a topic in this forum, but I have seen other posts about it, so I decided to make a new topic.

If you put special characters in superadmin or usernames, with superadmins, it will load a page simply saying "Begone" (I do not know what it does for normal members).

Here is how you do it:

For enabling special characters in admin names do the following:

Open up the directory where PHP Nuke is installed on your site hoster's file manager. In PHP Nuke's root directory is a file called "auth.php". Open it for editing.
Not too far down you will see this:

}
if (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-",trim($aid))) {
die("Begone");
}
