I don't have much time to create this hack. I wanted to make my forums where the user can login with there email instead of a username...

upon registering they don't enter a username... just email, password, ect...

Just curious ... what would be the sense of doing this?u

i am pretty sure thats gonna be a custum hack and will most likely cost you. i dont think to many would be interested in a forum filled with email addresses. whos online list would be huge if you had a big forum.

For a project that I'm doing:

What would be Usernames would be display names that can be changed by the user anytime they wish...

That being said, since alot of the user will often change there displayname (aka: username) i would like them to login using there email address...

All I need is the login part hacked, what you would see on the WOL and postbits would be there display name... which would change often...

Its a personal project that I'm doing for myself... I would hack all this myself, but I thought I would try to save some time...

I'd probably use this hack too. I'm doing a comparison of IPB 2.1's features to vbulletin 3.5 and basically going to request every feature they have for vbulletin

and one of thier admin options is to allow login by usernames or by email addresses (although not both)

That would actually be really really useful.

I think it would be a very much used hack....there is alot of benefit from this, because you cannot create an account without a valid email.

Good idea Live Wire...as always.

Please explain, i really don't get this. What got this to do with the name you use to sign in?

I just thought this would be an easy mod that if for some reason they can't remember their username, but they know their email and password they could still get on the site without having to do the 'I Lost my password' routine.

Marco van Herwaarden · #9 09-23-2005, 01:35 PM

Sorry to say, but that is a lousy reason in my personal opinion. What make you think they can remember their email then? Seems to me like a lot of work just so that occasionally someone don't need to use the Lost Password routine.

In most cases the username will be shorter (easier to remember??) then their email, and if they are afraid they would forget, then just use the part before the @ of their mail as username.

Why not just use this hack here:
