Oxwall allows the members to login either by username or by their email address.

Can you make your question clear?

I'll try to be more specific:

On the "join" page, the want-to-be-user needs to fill in both the email and the username. Because, as you said, after the registration, user can use either the email or the username, I would like to avoid the username field altogether (and use email everywhere: on the join page and the login page).

What I planned to do is to:
1. Hide the "username" field on the "join" page
2. Add a bit of javascript that copies the email to the username field (so that the form submits correctly)
3. Change the language strings so that the site stays coherent (avoiding mentionning "username")


I cannot do this, because I cannot use an email address in the "username" field (for the reasons I mentionned). The workaround is to change UTIL_Validator, but I am afraid of any side-effects.

I hope this is clear. Many thanks in advance.

Instead of UTIL_Validator, you can edit to use the EmailValidator. Please do make a search on this class.

OK. I can certainly do that. Thanks for the hint.

What you mean also, is that when I start to store an email adress in the login form, the site will not explode? :+)
