Suivant Changes Customer Login to Email Address?

[phishbed]

After installing the Suivant readytheme to our dev site and testing the customer login page I noticed it is requiring the customer email address as the login name. Our current site uses a login name, not the email address, I cannot login with my test accounts so our customers will not be able to login once we go live. I have searched Miva9 admin for a customer settings option to switch login from email to login name with no luck.

It appears the solution is to download the customer file, update the customer login name column to the customer's email address and import the file. This is likely to cause a ton of confusion. And which email should we use? Billing, shipping or lost password? Is there an easier solution?

Hi Jamin

Even though it is prompting you for the email address, the field should accept both the customers email (it uses the forgot password email address) or the customer username.

All you should need to do is update the prompts to say "Login or Username" and it should be more clear.


If you don't want it to accept the email address at all, you would need to modify the input value to be named Customer_Login vs right now it is named Customer_LoginEmail

That could be possible but the theme won't accept any field input that does not include an @ symbol. There should be a way to turn that off.

I forgot about that, you are correct.

There is a type="email" attribute on the input. If you remove this it won't validate for the email address format.

I updated it to type="password" to keep the styling correct and everything seems to work just fine.

Do we have to purchase all new modules for this new site or can we transfer the licenses from our old site? Specifically the Emporium Plus modules.

The emporium plus license are tied to the store code so as long as the store code is the same your old licenses will work.

Is there something other than removing type="email" or using type="password"? Using type="password" doesn't seem practical.

I'm sure the proper way is to open the css file and making a new type="login" but I chose the easy route.

Actually type="text" is the proper way to fix this.

I used "text" to fix it on my site. It looks to me like the system is just using the first 10 characters of the customers email address to create a login. It would be better if it truly was an email address. Is this even possible because the login form doesn't allow email addresses.

input TYPE maybe used as a styling handle, but they also have specific behaviors in HTML:

BTW: Every wanted to know what your password IS on a site that remembered it with ****** ? To find out, use Chrome Inspector (or simular), right click the field and in Inspector, change the type="password" to type="text". (That's from my son, who said he's been doing that since he was 12...)
