Login with username instead of email

[vyskoczilova]

Hi, we're moving from Joomla-VirtueMart to Prestashop but if I'm trying to import CSV with customers I can't find field "username" and it looks like they are obliged to log in with email, can I add somewhere option to log with username? We do have more than 2000 clients and it would be kind of stupid to write them about that change. Thanks a lot for your advice

Karolina,

I have never heard the same question

 

A quick answer for you:

1. Prestashop does not support logging in with username. Moreover, "username" does not exist in customer table.

 

2. But you totally can customize the code and support it.

Here are steps, in my opinion:

2.1. Add a new column into customer table saying "username". Refer to step #2.4 below.

2.2. Import your clients over

2.3. (Frontend) Change the login form, it should say "Email / username" and disable validating against email field.

 

2.4. Install this free module. I've written it, JUST FOR YOU

 

Your clients now should be able to log in with username.

 

Have fun!

Tung

Hi, thanks a lot for your solution, but something is wrong because it's not working -either I cant find "username" field in my clients and either I can see sign email/username in the front end, what's wrong?

@vyskoczilova

It seems, your theme does not include this hook "DisplayCustomerAccountForm".

 

In your theme, search for "HOOK_CREATE_ACCOUNT_FORM".

Here is how it should looks like:

 

 

Hope this helps!

HI, thanks a lot, it's probably as you've said, but I'm not able to find solution myself the $HOOK_CREATE_ACCOUNT_FORM is just in middle of html tags. The theme is "Branchy" from ThemeForest.

 

these files here:

http://disk.kybernaut.cz/authentication.tpl (lines 388 and 640)

http://disk.kybernaut.cz/order-opc-new-account.tpl (line 375)

I've checked it today with default prestatheme wich comes ith the installation and it's not working there as well. Do you have an idea what can be wrong?

 

Printscreein with the default theme

 

Could be the problem caused by using Czech instead of English?

 

From my theme support I've got this respond: "Hi,Please Check your New Module(Log-in with username instead of email - Module) in Default Prestashop theme, if it's working ,then this module is also working in our theme. Our theme support all default functionality."

Once more from the support:

 

Hi,

I was Check "Logging in with username" Module in default Prestashop theme and there is no any "User Name" Field that you say in "http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/376310-log-in-with-username-instead-of-email-module-attached/" this link.
See Attach Screenshot: http://disk.kybernaut.cz/kybernaut_01.png and http://disk.kybernaut.cz/kybernaut_02.png

If you still have any question then give me more detail about your issue with screenshot.

Hello there,

Thanks for all the info.

 

Actually, we haven't released that version (which works with registration form). It should works fine now.

Check it out there.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi, works like a charm, but one more thing: I suppose that Email is just my translation which should be "Email / Username" but, I can login with the username (great!!) but when I type, it make the form red and with "x" sign, could you get rid of it or just make it green as email is?

 

login form: printscreen here

 

and another minor problem (however it's working, which is perfect) - user name is not displayed in "Customers" overview in admin - printscreen, printscreen2 - but that's not urgent, I don't need to see it if it's working

That's true!

I was aware of that, but I don't have a good solution rather than editing the template manually, so I don't want to patch into the module.

Here is the fix if you want to do that:

[Tung at RockPOS.com]

I've published the code on Github.

Here it is:

 

For those 2 reports / requests (do not validate email at login form + missing username columm in back office), can you please add 2 issues for that on Github repository?

 

I will arrange time to fix later.

Or that's so great if someone comes in and fix together.
