    I have a login page on my site, that requires people to submit a username and password to proceed to another section of my website.

    Currently to login people have to submit the username they registered with when then first registered on my site.

    I was wondering what file do I need to look into to change the way people login.

    I want to allow people to login with the email they registered with instead of their username.

    I am using ExpressionEngine v 1.6.8.

    Hiya,

    Instead of hacking the core files, take a look at this extension that Leevi created to help with this sort of thing :

    NSM Email Login

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Best wishes,

    Mark

    jj_ghf,

    Thanks Mark,

    Although more expensive and a by-feature really, Solpace’s User Module does this also
