Hrm... all that should be required is to install the plugin and publish. Can you try with other user accounts as well?

Re: Doesn't work with CB login

# 3 - Posted by: Eagle on 2009-01-08 23:05:41

Your plugin works with the normal joomla login module, but does not seem to work with the Community Builder login module. Which is a big problem.

No, unfortunately Community Builder is not supported.

Re: Database

# 7 - Posted by: Greg Dickson on 2009-02-25 05:33:45

This is a great plugin and a great step forward for a Joomla/Virtuemart site.

I was wondering about the email field in the #_users table

For this to be stable doesn't it require the email field to be at least unique to stop duplicates or does Joomla do this some other way.

Thanks heaps for a great plugin.

Re: Joomla! already does it

# 8 - Posted by: Ian MacLennan on 2009-02-25 16:29:43

Joomla! already enforces uniqueness of the email field in the standard system.

Re: strip md5 password

# 9 - Posted by: somchai on 2009-03-06 03:00:07

Could this Plug-in also have an option to strip the encript md5 password function ? Cuz when the registerred user lost his/her password, the old password can be used. No need to reset the password.

Re: Doesn't edit the database

# 10 - Posted by: Ian MacLennan on 2009-03-06 13:57:44

Since the plugin does not alter the database it is not possible to do that.

Storing passwords in your database in plain text is generally a really really bad idea, since if anybody somehow manages to get access to your database (this could even be an admin at your ISP), then they also get your users' passwords. Since many people tend to reuse the same password (also not a good idea, but it happens), this can lead to pretty serious exploits.

Re: Work with JomSocial

# 11 - Posted by: bgirl on 2009-04-18 07:09:54

Hi, does this work with the JomSocial login as well?

Do we need to change the LOGIN field name so that users know to use e-mail rather than username?

Re: Can you restrict domains?

# 12 - Posted by: Gary on 2009-06-18 14:47:19

So if I understand this correctly, a user enters his/her email address and password and gets authenticated, correct? So it uses some type of pop-based authentication? Can I restrict the domains that it goes to to our own?

# 13 - Posted by: Ian Maclennan on 2009-06-18 14:49:48

No, the plugin does not use POP-based authentication. It is the same as standard Joomla! authentication and uses the same password, but it uses the email address value that the user entered instead of the username.

Re: remove username from registration

# 14 - Posted by: Patrick on 2009-06-21 10:22:24

Hi there,

thanks for the nice plugin, very much appreciated. I would like to get rid of the username completely. Users should only enter an email adress and a passwort when registering. Any hints how to remove username from the registration process?

Thanks

Patrick

# 15 - Posted by: roshan on 2009-06-22 13:25:39

Hi

Can a user just registered only using email and password, like CB.. does this work with JomSocial?

# 16 - Posted by: Urdu SMS on 2009-07-10 09:02:53

hello Roshan why are not trying this plug-in. You may try this and check it that its can work or not working with JS.

# 17 - Posted by: urdu sms on 2009-07-19 14:18:40

Thanks its really nice plug-in.

Re: 3rd party login modules

# 18 - Posted by: Mary Beth on 2009-07-29 12:36:34

Does this plugin work with third party login modules like Yoologin or does it work solely with the default Joomla login module?

# 19 - Posted by: xmasada on 2009-08-04 03:52:08

@bgirl:

yes... i have tested with Jomsocial, it' works perfectly

# 20 - Posted by: Marsy on 2009-08-26 11:10:24

After activation you may login to http://xxx using the following username and password:

Username: xxx

Password: xxx

where the username is the username and not the email address.

# 21 - Posted by: exchange rates on 2009-08-30 00:42:23

Hi, does this work with the JomSocial login as well?

Do we need to change the LOGIN field name so that users know to use e-mail rather than username?

Re: How to publish the plugin

# 23 - Posted by: TomH on 2009-09-27 22:31:00

Hi,

I read that you need to publish the plugin to enable it, but I see no publish option on the plugin manager page, or anywhere else that would seem likely.

Any ideas?

Tom

Re: how to change login box and create user for to only ask for email

# 25 - Posted by: TomH on 2009-09-27 22:36:41

Hi,

So I now need to change the login module and the sign up form to only ask for the email and not the username and name fields, how do I do that?

Thanks,

TOm

# 26 - Posted by: Bob on 2009-10-07 14:14:19

Under recommended configuration, the Plugins/Authentication folder is not writable. Is it expected that you upload this manually to publish? It seems that it wouldn't install correctly through the admin unless you gave the Authentication folder write permissions and this is not a "normal" setup.

Re: Its good but...

# 27 - Posted by: Dylan on 2009-10-14 19:17:57

This plugin is good, however the one here

http://www.lunarhotel.co.uk/joomla/emailasusername-joomla-1.5-plugin.html

(In conjuction with the supplied instructions) gets rid of the username field in the registration page of Joomla, and Virtuemart, and has further instructions on how to get everything that *would* be shown as "Username" to show "Email address" and all without any core hacks of any kind

If your site is english, its just a matter of copying the files in the right locations.
