Is it possible to force a text field to be entered/displayed all in caps? I have a client wanting all user last names to be entered and displayed in caps only - to stay in line with their existing databases.
Yes, edit the username field and under Parameters > Validation set "Authorized input" to "Custom PERL regular expression". Now you can supply a custom REGEXP validation rule in "Perl Regular Expression". For example the below would validate capital letters and digits only.
/^[A-Z0-9]+$/
Another option is to covert it to uppercase using CB Auto Actions on the after registration trigger using a field action and format functions. Example as follows.
Global
Trigger: After User Registration
Type: Field
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody Action
Field: Username
Operator: Set
Value: [cb:parse function="convert" method="uppercase"][username][/cb:parse] Parameters
Format Functions: Yes
Another option is to covert it for display purposes only using CSS.
