[#2958] email as username

[#2958] email as username was created by efficiamail
I know how to use email as username in cb but i am going to use mod_login (default login module of joomla) because of the way it's displayed.

This is my website: exchangemailstat.com

As you can see, the login is formatted. I tried to do that using cblogin but i failed.

Here's the situation:

I disabled username

The default username will be -> firstname + <whitespace> + lastname

I want to change this to email.

So what happens is that if username is unpublished, it will copy the email as the default username in order to login to the default login module of joomla.

Thank you.

You really need to use CB Login module.
Ask your template provider to assist you to format the CB login module in a similar way (css is needed).

Regarding the username - email - name question.

If you also don't show name and username during registration then both should be populated with the email address I believe.

Another method is to use Kyle's new CB auto action plugin to use field action to change username to [email] after registration trigger.

The replacement for email address is [email].
