Login using E-email and password. Disallow username and memberID.

On my previous dolphin 6.1.6 install, I added a few lines of code that someone gave me so that only the e-mail address and password may be used to login. The code restricted the username and memberID from being used.

Does anyone know how to do this in 7.0.6?

Hello open the - inc/admin.inc.php

find this function there:

function getID( $str, $with_email = 1 ) {
    if ( $with_email ) {
        if ( eregi("^[_.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+.)+[a-z]{2,4}$", $str) ) {
            $str = process_db_input($str);
            $mail_arr = db_arr( "SELECT `ID` FROM `Profiles` WHERE `Email` = '$str'" );
            if ( (int)$mail_arr['ID'] ) {
                return (int)$mail_arr['ID'];
            }
        }
    }

    $str = process_db_input($str);
    $iID = (int)db_value( "SELECT `ID` FROM `Profiles` WHERE `NickName` = '$str'" );
   
    if(!$iID) {
        $aProfile = getProfileInfo($str);
        $iID = isset($aProfile['ID']) ? $aProfile['ID'] : 0;
    }
    return $iID;
}

and replace with :

function getID($str) {
    $str = process_db_input($str);
    $aItem = db_arr( "SELECT `ID` FROM `Profiles` WHERE `Email` = '$str' OR `ID` = '$str' LIMIT 1" );
    if ( (int)$aItem['ID'] ) {
        return (int)$aItem['ID'];
    }
}

 That did the trick! thanks.

You're welcome

It appears that this change caused the system to make profiles unviewable. For the past couple of months, when a user clicks a profile to view, it would say that the profile not available for viewing.

Alex T logged into my system and came to the conclusion that this was caused by modifying the getID function.

I am assuming he is referring to this change since this is the only thing that was done relating to getID.

Is there a way to fix my problem while still only allowing email addresses to be used for login?

Has this been fixed? I am also looking for a way to make the username/nickname = the email address. I don't want people picking their username/nickname, so I figured the best way was to use email.

I found fixes for 7.0.8 to allow email only login and to use email as username. however this caused other issues, like the email being displayed in places I don't want. I'm currently looking at ways around it.
