Native Screen Name

[Nilesh Gundecha, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

Hi Friends,

I want to allow Screen Name to be in native language like Japanese, Chinese, etc.

I am not able to figure out how to go about this. Any help would be highly appreciated,

Regards,
Nilesh.

Somebody else recently brought up the same issue

Depending on your requirements you may have to create an ext plugin to override the validateScreenName method in UserLocalServiceImpl

Thanks Jelmer.

I will have to create an EXT plugin for the UserLocalServiceImpl.java. But just wondering what must be the reason for Liferay restricting the native characters ?
May be because of the underlying database character set.. But then again question arises How Liferay allow First Name, Last Name, etc to be in native.

Anyways, I will move ahead with EXT.

Its because of the friendly url that liferay creates. Liferay uses screenname to create the friendly url for its user private and public pages.

PS. I remember seeing one of the blog posts of Jonas who worked with creating native friendly urls.
