- Description
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 displayedBut 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)- Solution
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 ?)
