Login using only username or password?

Hi, I’ve searched for this but seems no one’s asked before. Is it possible to configure/change wlpe to allow login (say after registration) using only a username or password? In other words there’s only one user registered but that username or password will be given to selected people to login.

thanks

WebLoginPE uses several functions/events during login checking username/password combinations, so it would require several modifications.
Why not setup ’Guest User’ & ’123456’ to use as a common login?

You could create the form to have the username already set as the username field’s value, then hide the field in the .css

You could use a plugin to set the value of either the $username variable or $userpassword variable; probably the OnBeforeWebLogin event would be the one you want.

Thanks to you both. I thought mods would be complex. I hadn’t thought of simply hiding the username in the css - more within my range than using plugins as I’m guessing that implementing the OnBeforeWebLogin event involves a fair bit of php programming?

Yes, plugins are PHP code that gets inserted into the appropriate place during normal processing (such as processing a user login); which is why they’re called "plugins" - the code is literally "plugged in" to the processing script’s code. To specify which system event to use, one simply checks the checkbox for the desired event in the System Events tab of the plugin.
