e-mail address as login

is there such a posibility?

Yes.

sotwell, thx. Can you tell how can I do it?

Just use the email address as the username.

i tried to put in the form my e-mail address where login should go but then i got error about illegal characters.

Ah, the registration form. Hm. I’ll take a look at it; might need a slight hack of the input validation code.

yeah i thougt so, but could not do anything like that. I am administrator not a programmer

No big deal. Open the file weblogin.class.php in a text editor. Do a search for "Check username for bullshit". In the very next line (line 469, if your editor shows line numbers) there is an array with a list of illegal characters.

Just delete the ’@’, part. It should look like this:

And now you’re a programmer

Probably should remove the plus sign too since that’s useful in gmail mail names as well.

You’re kidding me. It’s that easy? I have formerly worked with joomla, and such a change there required a ... just to say .. a lot more ...

yeah, i could become a programmer, but there is still a lot of stff i don’t know and don’t understand

Thx Susan
