Danish Characters in usename and errormessages

[Ehlers@assetadvisor.dk]

Hi, we are using your plugin in danish but are not able to use the special danish characters æ, ø and å in the usernames. Furthermore, errormessages containing the same characters are displayed wrong.

What to do?

Regards Jesper

To prevent code injection attacks, WordPress sanitizes usernames. For compatability, so does eMember. The result, is that only ASCII characters can be used for usernames. There are WordPress plugins that change this behavior, but their effects are unsupported by eMember.

That makes sense but the error prompt when typing the forbidden characters in the username does not mention this, hence it is a bit confusing. The error message only says “Letters, numbers, underscores or email is allowed” The problem is, that in Denmark æ, ø and å ARE letters and NOT special characters. So would it be possible in the danish error messages to write (Letters, except æ, ø and å)?

You can customize the EMEMBER_ALPHA_NUMERIC_UNDERSCORE language string message to your liking. Currently it reads:
define('EMEMBER_ALPHA_NUMERIC_UNDERSCORE','Only Letter, Number and Underscore allowed');
