hope it will work with forget password?
Anybody tried it - does it work with 'Forget Password'? Any comments from anyone using this plugin?
Thanks
What happens if users change their display name later on?
You mention this mod generates a unique username based on it.
Is this taken care off?
Yes it works fine with forgot password, but you have to use your e-mail address to retrieve the password.
If you change your display name. It changes your display name. You can never change your username with or without this plugin. The way the username is generated is it will be the display name you enter when you sign up (and you're stuck with it forever). If the display name you enter is already taken it just adds a number after it. Starting with 1 and counting up until it finds one thats not taken.
Thanks Lenny, Can you modify this code to enable the user just choose a display name and ther is no number attached to it.
@kxx4 ...This plugin is based on Login by email by Pedro Prez ( http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/384496/developer/pedroprez/login-by-email-02 ) I believe that plugin does exactly what you're looking for... my goal with this modification was to make the user not need to choose a username (to make it email only like facebook, tumblr, myspace, etc)
Please post a paypal donate button someplace,
and keep up the great work.
This works with Elgg 1.7.6, and the other "Login by email" does not.
Cheers,
J

Hello, Lenny, I like this much, can you help develop an upgrade for the Elgg 1.8.4? thanks very much

Does this work on elgg 1.8.x?
Thanks
Hi Lenny, this is a great start.
Here is an improvement idea:
1. Admin restriction on email domains -- for example, only @example.com can signup to the site, or only .edu. This could be very useful if you are building a school or work social network, where you only want school or work member to be able to join.
2. I think that 1.8+ should be examined.
