I have a client that has some pretty long usernames (they use their email address).

They can login fine on the main page, but when the CP times out and they try to login, the username field isn’t long enough. Is there a setting somewhere that I can adjust this?

Thanks!

Hi Lisa E,

I think you are referring to the drop-down authentication that shows up in the Control Panel?

There isn’t a setting to change the length of the field. In the pop-down and the main login, i believe the field is set to 50.

What I can’t find right away is the view file I need to tell you how to change the pop-down version of the form.

Let me know which one specifically and I’ll keep digging in the meantime.

Cheers,

That’s exactly what I’m talking about.
Thanks for the help, Dan!

Hi Lisa,

Kind of a booger…

When you register a new member in the Control Panel, the Username field is set to a maxlength of “50”, and the username field in main Control Panel login (admin.php) is set to 50 as well. However, the maxlength of the field in the timeout pop-down is set to 32… yeah…

A quick fix is to open /themes/javascript/compressed/cp/global_end.js

Find line 14:

$(function(){function a(){var a=EE.SESS_TIMEOUT-6E4,b=EE.XID_TIMEOUT-6E4,g=a<b?a:b,f=!1,d,c;c=function(){$.ajax({type:"POST",dataType:"json",url:EE.BASE+"&C=login&M=refresh_xid",success:function(a){$("input[name='XID']").val(a.xid);EE.XID=a.xid;setTimeout(c,b)}})};d=function(){var a='<form><div id="logOutWarning"<label for="username">'+EE.lang.username+'</label>: <input type="text" id="log_backin_username" name="username" value="" size="35" dir="ltr" id="username" maxlength="32"  />     <label for="password">'+

Change:

id="username" maxlength="32"

To:

id="username" maxlength="50"

That will make it consistent throughout the Control Panel.

Sorry for the confusion, now off to file this as a bug...

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Cheers,

Awesome, no this is perfect, thanks!
