That is already implemented in SMF by default. You can login with username or email without installing any MOD  8)

This MOD is to force login with email ONLY.

very good mod!

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. Nothing special is used other than the cookies that SMF set when you login.

hello

sorry i'am not an expert.

What i mean is:

does the mod keep in memory the last email of the last user logged in a smf forum

hello,

the system set back Userid request instead of email request when you click on a link that is pointing on a topic that access is not allowed for the guest.

will you mange to change this in a next version ?

Giovanni

Yes, there are still some glitches that I will fix in the next version.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Version 0.2 is out. It includes a fix to properly install on 1.1.10 (thanks to quintias) and it also fixes the problem stated by cubetgio (thanks) and other minor problems.

First you'll have to uninstall any previous version of Email Login.

If you are running 2.0 RC1.2 and it gives you an error when you try to unistall click on the Advanced link to force compatibility with 2.0RC1-1, then uninstall, and afterwards you can take compatibility back to RC1.2.

If you have any question just post here and we'll try to help.

Thanks!

hello codebirth,

Thanks for the upgrade and your quick follow up !

Here below is the message that i get when i try to uninstalll. Could you help with an automatic patch to uninstall ?

"This package cannot be uninstalled, because there is no uninstaller!
Please contact the mod author for more information."

Thanks

The uninstaller and the installer is the same file, it just reverse the actions, so maybe other thing is causing that error...

What SMF version are you using?

1.1.10

I hate to bump this, but does anyone still have the version compatible with 2.0 RC1.2? Its not on their website anymore.

Yes, it's here

Hello codebirth,

Great mod. My forum is under attack right now by a script making multiple log-ins using member's usernames.
I've been blocking IPs to reduce the amount of attempts.

Any chance this can be updated to 1.1.13?

It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
forumuser

Same problem here! 1.1.13 support would be VERY much appreciated

MOD has been updated to 1.1.13 and 2.0 RC5.

Let me know if you find any issue.

The 1.1.13 updated version worked like a charm.

Thanks very, very much.

Will this work on RC4 with security patch? Thanks.

Can anybody please upload version 0.4 of this mod? I am running SMF 2.0 RC3 and it won't install the newest version of the mod. I can't upgrade my SMF because it is so heavily modified that it takes alot of work and I don't have the time right now. Thank in advance!

Edit: I found it over at http://codebirth.com/, but I can't seem to register there to download it, because the account activation doesn't seem to work.

Edit: I was able to log in to that site and download version 0.4. Thanks.

If it hasn't been translated to Turkish, i can do it as soon as you give me the list of words.

@Astral2000 The attached package should install fine on RC4

Hi everbody
I'm a new member
remember me,please

Thank you. :)

Thavee, wrong topic, wrong site.

Easily forgotten.

Hi Codebirth

I just signed up on your forum to get my hands on the 0.3 Version of your mod for my RC2 forum.

I'm still waiting for the registration email, I guess your forum is rather slow on sending it ? :p

Anyway, I wanted to ask you if there are any bugs with that version or if I should just go ahead and install it ?

Hi Tanks, don't know what's going on with the registration emails. I have approved your account manually.

There are no known bugs in version 0.3, you can go ahead with it :)

Thanks :)

Edit: FYI The registration email just arrived. 10 minutes after you manually activated me.

How can we forget you after this message in this topic? :) Welcome to SMF

Very good mod. I loved it and its very very useful. Good job and Thank you.
I am willing to translate this mod to Turkish. Can somebody provide the texts?

If considering using this mod on a large active forum after the recent spate of log-in attacks, it may be worth changing the text within index.english.php to explain to your members why email log-in is now required and to give those who have forgotten the email address used an admin contact...

I used something like the following:

---------------------------
$txt['username_no_exist'] = 'That email address does not exist.<br /><br />As a result of persistent hacking attempts exploiting published usernames, this forum now requires the registered email address for log-in. If you experience problems logging in, please contact xxxxx@xxxxx';
$txt['no_user_with_email'] = 'There are no usernames associated with that email address.<br /><br />As a result of persistent hacking attempts exploiting published usernames, this forum now requires the registered email address for log-in. If you experience problems logging in, please contact xxxxx@xxxxx';


Users soon get used to logging in with email and most store their log-in details in their browser and remain logged in forever.

Great mod and a secure fix for the recent spambot attempts to crack passwords using usernames.

@PLAYBOY and anyone willing to translate this MOD :) These are the texts for both SMF 1.1.13 and 2.0 RC5

QuoteSMF 1.1.13

$txt[40] = 'That email address does not exist.';
$txt['smf52'] = 'Login with email, password and session length';

$txt[37] = 'You should fill in an email address.';
$txt[520] = 'This is the displayed name that people will see.';

$txt['smf100'] = 'Email';


SMF 2.0 RC5

$txt['username_no_exist'] = 'That email address does not exist.';
$txt['quick_login_dec'] = 'Login with email, password and session length';

$txt['identification_by_smf'] = 'This is the displayed name that people will see.';
$txt['need_email'] = 'You should fill in an email address.';

$txt['user_email'] = 'Email';
$txt['password_reminder_desc'] = 'If you\'ve forgotten your login details, don\'t worry, they can be retrieved. To start this process please enter your email address below.';

Since there's not much to translate it would be appreciated if anyone translating the MOD can provide translations for both 1.1.13 and 2.0 RC5.

Thanks everyone for your contributions and comments :)

Can you please change the text on the mobile template?

Sure, I will look into that this evening.

Hello,

This patch will apply changes to the Wireless template, so your users that connect through WAP, WAP2 or iMode will also see the text Email instead of Username in the login form. I have tested it with SMF 1.1.13 and SMF 2.0 RC5 but I guess it will work with previous SMF versions too.

Please, let me know if you find any issue.

If all of these patches and language files will be included in the next update, i d ratter wait for it and install all at once.

Yes, they will be included in the next release for sure.

I'm using ssi_login() on my site. Is there some way this mod can be applied to the ssi code so that all pages can use email login?

Do we have to uninstall the old one before installing the new one?

Hello. I received an update notification in Spanish, I think.

Anyone knows why?

Another question. Can someone please expand on the changes to ssi_login()? Is it the change I asked about to allow email login via ssi_login()?

Thanks!

@PLAYBOY Yes, you have to uninstall any previous version of the mod.

@SulevFan I don't know why you received the notificaction in Spanish but it could be a bug. Spanish is my language but the notification is automatically sent by SMF so it should be sent in each subscriber's language I think.

The changes on ssi_login() only affect the login form generated by SSI.php which I think it was what you asked. There's actually nothing else to change to allow email login via ssi_login()

@sharks You're welcome. Thanks for your message :)

Thanks! I tested it and it works great. I have an unrelated weirdness (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=425401.msg2981399#msg2981399) that I asked about. I know it's not your province, but I figure you may know a lot about SSI?

I was updating the mod and i didint see the Turkish translation.
Most turks dont use UTF-8 (because of converting problems) so would be so kind to add regular turkish to the next update? I know its very easy to add it manually but it would be lot more helpful if its added to the next update.

@PLAYBOY No problem, I will include regular ISO-8859-1 languages in the next update  ;)

@SulveFan I've read your other post but I don't know what is causing that, sorry  :(

@Jade Elizabeth You're welcome  :)

A new version of this mod has been released.

cb|Emailogin 0.52

• Added changes to Register template on SMF 1.1.13. The Hide email address from public? checkbox is now checked by default (thanks to forumuser)
• Added German language (thanks to ranseyer)
• Added ISO-8859-1 versions of all languages

Let me know if you find any issue.

Thanks!

Good job. Now, it is great.

Suggestions for the next update;
1- Option to turn the feature off.
2- Option to customize the "wrong username/password" warning. Because so many members try to login with their username and get that error because they dont know about the changes on the login, even if you put a big red banner on the top. So they get "wrong username/password" error. It would be nice to customize that message as "Please make sure you put your email adress instead of your username and try again." or something like that.

Thank you again for this very nice mod.

Can you support 2 Gold please this is a great mod

thanks

When a member forgets the password and choose an authentication reminder i get the following error:

http://www.*****.net/index.php?action=reminder;sa=picktype
The database value you're trying to insert does not exist: email_address
Function: RemindPick
File: /home/*****/public_html/Sources/Reminder.php
Line: 95

Smells like a bug, I'm looking into it.

It's not happening to all email addresses .... hmmm

The error appears only if the user has set a security question on his profile. A new version that fix this bug will be available later today.

Yes, you are right. That user has set a secret question.

First time i see so fast response. Thank you.

A new version (0.61) that fixes this problem and includes a few changes (please read changelog) is now available.

Thanks for reporting this bug, searchgr. Please, let me know if you find any other issue :)

Note: As usual, you first have to uninstall any previous version of this mod before upgrading.

I tried a manual edit. I see that the only change is at the reminder.php file.

I found the lines:

elseif (isset($_POST['user']) && $_POST['user'] != '')
{
$where = 'member_name = {string:member_name}';
$where_params['member_name'] = $_POST['user'];
$where_params['email_address'] = $_POST['user'];

and replaced them with the following:

elseif (isset($_POST['user']) && $_POST['user'] != '')
{
$where = 'email_address = {string:email_address}';
$where_params['email_address'] = $_POST['user'];
}

It doesn't work. Can anybody confirm that the 0.61 version fixes the bug?

I guess you have not uninstalled any previous version of this mod. In previous versions there were other changes in Reminder.php, so you first have to uninstall the mod so the code of Reminder.php is back to original.

After that you can install version 0.61 which, replacing a different piece of code, adds the same functionality as before and also fix the bug.

Yes, i try to apply the changes without uninstalling the previous version :)

This mod seems to not allow me to change users Username, when installed it seems to block the box so it never shows so I can't change their username, but when it's uninstalled the username change works fine.

Can I install this mod by using the package manager?

Any answers about this?

QuoteA copyright is added to the credits section of SMF 2.0

Is this a copyright on main page? or is it in admin panel or something?

This mod prevent me changing the username of the member. I can change only the displayed name.

How do you change the Username (not displayed name) of the member from their profile?

It doesnt give me the option to change their username.

This is what comes up when you click on "Change" under the "Username"

Sorry I've been busy with other business in the last months and was not aware of this. Checking this issue right now...

This have been fixed in version 0.63. Don't forget to uninstall any previous version of this mod before installing the latest one. You may have to use Advanced -> Emulate version in the Package Manager if you don't see the Uninstall link.

Thanks and sorry for delay  :-[

Thank you very much.

oh god thanks...

I have this mod installed on my forum and love the results for security reasons. Is there a way to decrease the box for the email to fit my side bar in my theme. It looks right when logged in but it stretches the menu box when logged out. Take a look at the snapshots.

Does anybody use this mod? I have some conflicts when i try to upgrade to php 5.4 and i wonder if this mod causes the errors ....
