Restricting access with user name instead of mail. Possible?

[Reto]

I have a restricting access on a page.

Restricting access to your site

Everything works perfect. Now the customer wants to login with his username instead of the mail address. Possible?

I guess I have to change this one: if ($user = $kirby->user(get(‘email’))) {

But I could not find out, how I can check the username.

Thanks for any help!

Since only the email needs to be unique, using the username instead of the email address is not such a good idea.

It is a restricted area where like 50 people should have access. Share the same login is more easy and a username makes more sense as a generic mail address.

Login with name instead of email

Hi there, I’m trying to create a login page where users can log in with their name instead of email. How can I make this? This is the code I use to log in with email: // simple login form submission example if($username = get('username') and $password = get('password')) { $user = $kirby->user($username); if($user and $user->login($password)) { // redirect to the homepage // or any other page if(!cookie::exists('loggedin')) { cookie::set('loggedin', 'true'); } $url …
