problem with some characters about mentions

[Jimmi08]

Next result:
if there is display name with those character, unique names are not correct, checked unique-mentions.txt

array (
  0 => '@Mi',
)

This same happens if Display name contains spaces.

@Jimmi08, Thank you & Sorry for the late response.

Yes the currently used RegEx pattern does not match those latin scripts with diacritic marks (accents) or non-latin characters at all.

I have improved the RegEx pattern in a development branch that adds support for these characters and they should be ready for release soon.

Hi and thank you. I am not sure if I didn't write this somewhere else too but the problem is somewhere else.
The display name can have spaces too now. But normally there should be the same rules as for loginname (not real name - field names are really confusing here)

We solved this by setting display name = login name and this way members can't change it. I really can't remember now what fields are used by your plugin but now I found that there was a similar solution in old gold system plugin, I will check it when I find the time.

For all user matching this plugin only check for 'user_name' field in user table.

And fetches user_id, user_email, user_image, user_login fields for autocomplete popup and emailing.

We solved this by setting display name = login name and this way members can't change it.

By that did you mean its solved in the current development version of e107inc/e107 repo?

I firmly believe if it has problems finding latin characters with diacritic marks from 'user_name' table that's because its not implemented yet.

Hi, no changes in core. This is how I understand this, I could be wrong.

User can have different user_name and display name. This is set in preferences and you can allow it only for some classes.
For example. my login name is Jimako but users can see me as Main Admin. They don't know my login name because it's not displayed, so they will search for the display name. By setting display name = login name in core prefs, they will see user name now and they will look (type) for Jimako. Do you know what I try to say? (or my user name is totally different to have it safe and they see only Jimako)

I didn't know this, but we are importing users from other database and they are used to look up for real names not nicknames. Of course, It was easy for me to customize your code to check user_login (display name) but then we have that problem with characters and spaces.
For now we tell them that there is no other option, we will see how they will get used to user names.

I don't know what is correct.

EDIT: there are fields: user_name, user_loginname, user_login. Sorry, I really can't remember which one is used where.
