hello all,

i have a quick question.

i would like to allow user to register only if the nickname they enter is not existing yet in database. i want a user to have a unique nickname. my "nickname" is a required text field attribute and it is also the name pattern of the user class.

currently i check it with a javascript but this is quite unsecure for me. what would be the better alternative? any solution? template based or combined with template operators would be cool. i dont want to start with redirects or module overwriting or so.. any chance?

thank you.

just found that thread: http://share.ez.no/forums/suggestions/unique-attributes

would be great if Exponential would support that out of the box!
