Mods can search users by email address

My mods have requested the ability to search for users by email address.
Useful if they want to find people from a particular organisation who are using real email addresses.
It's an easy hack requiring 1 file edit. Nothing fancy, but useful results.

Got this problem from 1 of my mods

was in the mod control panel a few mins ago and decided to try this email search function out.

i entered my email address into the field and left the username field blank. I got the following message

Please Complete All Required Fields.

If I put in a username it seemed to ignore the fact that an email address had been entered.

Well it works perfectly for me so I can only think you implemented the hack wrongly.
The line

PHP Code:

if (empty($findname) and empty($findemail)) 


ensures that the 'please complete required fields' message only happens if both the name and email address are empty.

It looks alright. Sorry, I'm stumped, then

Maybe a better coder than me could look into this?

You are missing 1 edit.

Find in the modcp/user.php:

PHP Code:

    globalize($_REQUEST, array('findname' => STR_NOHTML, 'exact')); 


and REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

    globalize($_REQUEST, array('findname' => STR_NOHTML, 'findemail' => STR_NOHTML, 'exact'));
