Hi,
I am trying to get used to 2.1 - so far so good. Where I work, we upload users so have been looking at the upload pages to see if anything has changed and have found a setting called "standardise usernames".
Can anyone shed any light on what it does?
All I can find is one entry in the tracker ironically saying that there is no documentation for it!!

$param = str_replace(" " , "", $param);
$param = moodle_strtolower($param); // Convert uppercase to lowercase MDL-16919
if (empty($CFG->extendedusernamechars)) {
// regular expression, eliminate all chars EXCEPT:
// alphanum, dash (-), underscore (_), at sign (@) and period (.) characters.
$param = preg_replace('/[^-\.@_a-z0-9]/', '', $param);
}
return $param;
That's great. Thank you Howard- appreciate it!

Just to clarify - it ensures that usernames that are imported are cleaned to conform with the requirements of usernames that are manually entered. Namely, that they be lowercase and if extended characters are not allowed that they be removed. It also removes any spaces in the username. Perhaps someone could clarify this in the Docs. Peace - Anthony
p.s. - see Upload users in Moodle Docs for more information.
