At tiki-admin.php?page=login the admin can enable and disable "Use email as username" however there are side effects;
I have a working (upgraded) Tiki23 with plenty of registered users (username and email).
Now I want to change the log-in preference and to Use email as username.
At tiki-admin.php?page=login
Username
I enable "Use email as username”.
Technically, all seems to work;
I can login using the previous username and the email (good)
When registering a new user only the email field is displayed
But admin the users become harder.
At : /tiki-adminusers.php, the email column email doesn’t show up anymore, which make sense as now the user should show the email as username.
However for previous account that have a username and an email, the col user display their previous (existing) username.
And if I click on a user the first field is now “email” with the previous username value.
I have no way to find the email that are linked with users from the admin user.
Seems everywhere the field Email displays the previous username value (tiki-user_information.php, etc)
We should have an option to offer automatic conversion of user: email => username .
A bit like we have a "conversion" option for storage (directory or database => move existing files to...) BUT with much more warnings. (overwriting username ?)
