Step 1
First you need to create some options for the setting your going to create later on.
Options
AddString
This option lets you add a fixed string to the username
AutoNumber
This option lets you add a number to the username.
You can define the starting number and pad left to make sure it has the correct length.
If you set the start number to 1 and set pad left to 4, the number will be 0001
This number will automatically increase every time it is used to generate a new username.
If the username starts with AB then it will return AB0001
The username number is stored in the database in the table "UsernameGenerator_Numbers"
DBField
This option lets you take a field from the database table ImportFromDB and use as a starting string.
LowerCase
This lowercases the username.
Pad
This lets you pad the username either left or right with a character you specify and a length.
If you pad 4 right and the username is AB it will return AB00.
Replace
This lets you replace characters in the username with new characters or blank.
If you check "Use replace from database table" it will use this feature "Database replacements".
Replace all non alphanumeric
