valid email address not passing validation regex

Hi,

I'm attempting to create a user with an apostrophe in their email address. The user in question has a name similar to O'Reilly and their email address, which is perfectly valid, has an apostrophe in it.

Mojoportal provides the error message "Must use a valid email address."

The email address validation regular expression should be updated to allow a single apostrophe.

All the best,

Kenny

Re: valid email address not passing validation regex

Hi Kenny,

I've fixed this and it wil be in svn trunk by tonight.

For an immediate fix you can set the RegexValidationExpression on the Validator in ManageUsers.aspx and in Register.aspx to this:

^([0-9a-zA-Z](['-.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@(([0-9a-zA-Z])+([-\w']*[0-9a-zA-Z])*\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$

Best,

Joe
