NATS 3
|
|---|
You can give members random usernames and passwords when they sign-up by adding a hidden field to the NATS Pre-Join Form template. The field's name must be signup[random_userpass]. The fields value should contain three parameters separated by colons.
Parameters
(Required parameters in bold)
| Name | Description | Possible Values | Default Value | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Length | Number of characters in the username and password | Any whole number between 6 and 16 | None. You must specify a length | 16 |
| Lowercase | Only use lowercase characters in the username and password | 0 or 1 (exclusive) | 0. Uses lowercase and uppercase characters | 1 |
| Maximum Searches | How many times should NATS try to generate a unique random username before failing | Any whole number greater than zero | 10. Tries to generate a unique random username 10 times | 20 |
You should add the $errors.username variable to the join page so NATS can display username errors.
You can also now add a configuration variable in NATS4 to generate usernames with a prefix. For example, you will now be able to generate random usernames with the prefix "a" and follow it with 15 random lowercase letters.
Examples
- 10 character username and password, lowercase, a maximum of 5 searches: signup[random_userpass]="10:1:5"
- 8 character username and password, upper and lowercase, a maximum of 3 searches: signup[random_userpass]="8:0:3"
- 12 character username and password, upper and lowercase, a maximum of 10 searches: signup[random_userpass]="12"
