Hi,

I recently purchased the URL Shortener App for Easysocial and it works v well but there's an issue - if a user registers a username that's the same as a menu item, the username will override the menu item. This could easily break a website..

I can go through all menu items and add them as disallowed usernames (in the username field) but this is a temporary solution, and will mean that going forward, all menu items will need to be added in this way.

One way of fixing this could be to check usernames against menu items when a user registers. Or is there any other way to resolve this?

Cheers, David
Hi David,

I've consult this issue with our developer just now, for current workaround there is 2 option which is to rename the menu and add the disallowed usernames as you've make above.
However, I've create a ticket for this in our issue tracker and we will see what our developer cam do in the future

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding David.
