Can't write email direccion in new team/user

[pablochj]

Dear iTop administrators.

We use internal e-mail address like  user1@passdr02s  and other like user2@passdr02s.icetel , both addres work perfectly but itop have some restriccion in new user creation a new team creation.I can write this email direccion in iTop, there is a red  symbol next to the email field .  How can I deactivate this restriccions  to put any email direccion and use any format in the email direccion.

Thanks a lot!

The "email validation pattern" is located in the function GetValidationPattern located in the file "core/attributedef.class.inc.php".

Search for the class "AttributeEmailAddress" it looks like this:

class AttributeEmailAddress extends AttributeString
{
    public function GetValidationPattern()
    {
        // return "^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$";
        return "^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$";
    }
...
[code]
And change the pattern for something less restrictive like:
[code]
class AttributeEmailAddress extends AttributeString
{
    public function GetValidationPattern()
    {
        // return "^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$";
        return "^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+$";
    }
...
[code]

Yes, it works perfectly. Thank you very much.  If anyone needs it, You can use it safely and it is quite easy to implement

Did U try to insert or update your record from database ?? I mean use phpmysql or toad for mysql to change this value, because from the form use validation to common email format.

Denis - can we modify "AttributeEmailAddress" via an extension?

I'm about to try it anyway because modifying core files leads to all sorts of potential problems when we upgrade/re-install ...
