Keep up the good work man

Thanks, though not all of the ideas are mine. Some of them I did as requests.

Nice, very nice

I added a language variable {USERMAIL} which I use in addition when showing the loginbody so it shows:

Code: Select all

Username or e-mailaddress

I did the same thing in the index_body.html to show the same way in the quick login box at the bottom of the board.

But now it also shows in the ACP login confirm, there it is not possible to login with the emailaddress.

Do you see any possibility to also get it work there?

I really like your mods, good ideas you have (even if they are coming from the mod requests )

Greetings,

Nic

Sure, that's no problem.

Hey I was just wondering if this works with the "lost password" thing as well. because due to this post here http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 3#p3226955

what if the user forgets their username and password. This will send a an email with both of them. Thus only the email is needed.

No, to recover your password you need to know both your username and email address. I believe they did this for security purposes so I wouldn't want to change that.

I think it's better if there is option in ACP to choose Login by username, email, or both of them.

I'm currently too busy to add any more features at the moment, but I'll keep this in mind for when I get some more time to work on it.

Good mod. There's one bug though. If you try to login with a suspended account or banned account, you get an error saying:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to a member function correct_username_var() on a non-object in /home/puphu/public_html/community/includes/functions.php on line 2279

Thanks, I have fixed this and will upload the new version shortly, but really all you have to do is add this near the top of the prime_post_revisions.php file:
global $prime_post_revisions;

[AustinMatherne]

Nice!

When you update it, you should add the "/root/includes/prime_login_via_email.php" file into the instructions. As it is missing.

[kopacko]

Is there anyway to force only using an email address as the username?

[primehalo]

Find and comment out the code that checks for the username. It should be somewhere above where this code gets placed:

Code: Select all

$prime_login_via_email->check_for_email($row, $sql, $username);
