Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 27, 20195 yr One (or both) would be interesting to me: The ability to use regex on the display name The ability to force a single or combined field name from profile fields. The simplest example is generating a display name by combining first and last names. Or it could be, if the site needed it, a combo of e.g. first name and nickname, or whatever. The point is that the display name could be a forced name. For my community, point 1 is the more important one. Thoughts anyone?
May 27, 20195 yr Author EDIT I did try to put in a regex string in profile settings but it seems to be a 0-9 and a-z type of field only, not regex. Am I missing something?
May 28, 20195 yr That's correct, it's not a setting in which you can use regex. The help text below it shows the typical usage but without allowing the space character. If you wish to allow e.g. a-z, 0-9, hyphen, space, underscore, and period, you can use: a-z0-9- _.

Figured as much. Just wondering why no regex? It wouldn't be much of a stretch? My guess is that this system is simpler, but then again we do use regex in other parts of the community... No worries!
