Feature #24708
closed
allow to username and email simultaneously for login
0%
Description
as many websites offer this feature, I got several reports by users complaining about their password not working. it is quite frequent that people try their email address instead because they're used to do so from sites like facebook.
my request is thus to enable the extension to handle ether email or username (in conjunction with the right password of course)

The implementation of this option is quite easy. I found the solution and some example code in the German Typo3 mailinglist offered by Steffen Ritter, siehe hier:
http://www.mail-archive.com/typo3-german@lists.typo3.org/msg10697.html
I've tested it. And it works fine. Please find the auth service class class.tx_rsmysherpasusers_authservice.php attached. In addition the service has to be registered in the ext_localconf.php by:
t3lib_extMgm::addService(
'rsmysherpasusers',
'auth',
'tx_rsmysherpasusers_authservice',
array(
'title' => 'FE-Authentification via eMail',
'description' => 'looks up given username in email field instead of username field',
'subtype' => 'getUserFE',
'available' => TRUE,
'priority' => 95, // must be higher than tx_sv_auth (50) and rsaauth (60) but lower than OpenID (75) if you want to use OpenID too
'quality' => 70,
'os' => '',
'exec' => '',
'classFile' => t3lib_extMgm::extPath('rsmysherpasusers').'class.tx_rsmysherpasusers_authservice.php',
'className' => 'tx_rsmysherpasusers_authservice',
)
);
Still it would be a good idea to implement this option into the felogin extension and control it by typoscript setup - including 'auth service priority'.

As the example shows, this can easily be implemented in an extension. Besides the changes mentioned in Steffen's posting it also requires that the field email is set to uniqueInPid; until now the same email address can be used for multiple FE user accounts. Changing this in the core would cause problems in a lot of installations.
I think it should not be included in the core, but be handled by an extension.

oh, I somehow missed out the 1st comment. tested it and works great as ext. thanks also for mentioning the uniqueInPid issue, Jigal. I'd be fine if this issue is closed.
