How do we restrict the Registration Username to be by Email Address Only ?

[turner2f]

Is there a way restrict the "Login Username" to be ONLY by Email Address ?

We only want people to register their email address as their username .

=========

Or would it be as easy as just UN-commenting the code from within the " signup.pdt " file

If yes, which folder(s) would the " signup.pdt " file(s)    be in ?

And which lines of code should we UN-comment ?

 

=========

Look forward to your reply.

There's a search button for a reason:

Yes.

Because we know people like you can use it for us.

Fair enough but you'll end up getting no help if you can't help yourself. It's called being lazy.

[turner2f]

Not really.

 

It's called " maybe-not-using-the-correct-combination-of-keywords-for-what-you-are-looking-for " .

But if you do not want to graciously assist in the future, that is fine too.

Just try not to be so quick-witted, sarcastic, petulant,  cantankerous, and judgmental of other people.

There is no need for that on this forum, and none of us on this forum appreciate it.

 

We just tolerate it, just to be nice.

 

Nothing more to say here.

 

Thanks.

All I searched was two words you wanted "Force Email" and it was right there.

We tried doing the following suggested modification found at...

https://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5303-how-i-force-email-address-only-at-registration-time/#comment-38959

But it did not work for what we need to do.

============

On the Registration page, how do we make this disappear ?

We want clients to ONLY register using their Email address.

I don't have an example for you, but if you hide this and someone tries to sign up using the same username for an account that already exists they will be unable to register and either have to select a different email address, or login. We have some customers who have multiple accounts for legitimate reasons, so we wouldn't want to restrict this.

A feature request has been made for a setting to force email address as username, so it's something we're considering implementing system wide.

The approach I would take is assign a class to the div for the form element, and in CSS set it to display: none;

Ok.

Since this is a new launch of the system, and we already manually added the "existing" accounts and clients to the system...

...what I was meaning to say was to "force" new users to register with an email address.

=============

1) - I am in the process of trying to find the specific div for the form element to apply the CSS to, but currently cannot find it.

Do you happen to know off-hand ?

Half-way there.
 

/*This gets rid of the optional radio button on the Registration page for Signing up with a Username */

#username_type_username{
  display: none !important;
  }

1) - BUT it does not get rid of the label that says, " Specify a username ".

For now, we had to make changes within plugins/order/language/en_us/signup.php to get rid of the label.

But would much rather use CSS .

 

Any suggestions ?

Assigning a class to the outer div, and setting it to display: none; would be preferable. Still a change that would have to be re-added when upgrading.
