Registration with email address only

    Hello,

    I would like my user doesn’t use username but only email address.
    I found one plugin which gives the opportunity to LOGIN with the email address. But I am looking for a plugin which gives the opportunity to REGISTER with the email address only. Or, for now, when I put a email address in the username field it doesn’t accept @ and .

    Any idea? New plugin?

    Thanks in advance.

    Richard

    PS : I know there is a lot of post about BP registration but I haven’t found any clear answer

    I’d say this is hard. I think i saw someone who did something close to this where they basically took the email address and then just cut out the first part of the email to use as the username. Of course, then you have to deal with overlapping usernames if both are john@… Sorry I don’t remember where the thread is that talked about it. The problem I see with doing this is that the username is used so many other places that just taking one based on the email is a bit awkward for the user experience imho.

    Thx for you answer.
    Are you thinking about this http://djzone.im/2010/08/remove-loginusername-from-buddypress-registration/

    Do you think is doable?

    That’s the idea. Interesting that he chose to use an MD5 hash of the email. He describes some of the challenges. I’d also add that it modifies your URL since many URL use the username. So http://domain.com/profilename would become http://domain.com/uglyMD5hash There might be other things. Test and see.

    Hi @rickgoz,

    I have bought from my freelance a plugin that remove login choice on signup. It generate an username “user43fr53hzet56….” for each new member.
    After activation, in user account, each user can change this username only ONE TIME on what he want, to have better user slug. User page can be catch with http://example.com/auto_username, AND http://example.com/custom_username by auto insert on .htaccess
    If user missed something and want change again his username, you have just to delete the user line in the plugin table.

    I think this plugin with “email login” plugin should make you happy.

    As I am not php coder, I can’t assume any support for this. But if someone want update this plugin…
