hi steven,

i need to allow other language name in the text field(username) while user adding comment.

Currently it shows "The name can only contain letters, numbers and ' & . -".

What should i do ?

You need to edit the regular expression in the code below:

PHP Code:

<?php 

/*

* Checks if the name contains only valid characters

* Letters, ampersand, hyphen, apostrophe, period, space, numbers

* \p{L} (any kind of letter from any language)

*/

public function isNameValid($name) {

if (preg_match('/^[\p{L}&\-\'. 0-9]+$/u', $name)) {

return true;

} else {

return false;

}

}

Hi Steven.

THank you so much for your reply.

I edited the code to include "malayalam" language: from kerala, india

changed the code as below:

if (preg_match('/^[\p{Malayalam}&\-\'. 0-9]+$/u', $name)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
And working properly. now i can add malayalam keywords in name field.

Thank you so much
