I would like to be able to let users register with their email address as their user name. Has anybody had any experience attempting this with XOOPS or is there a hack that will make it possible? I would rather leverage the expertise of the community before attempting it myself.

The user info pages are easy enough to change, but I guess we would need to change the functions that reference the user id to reference the email and then change the keys in the user table.

Or is there a better approach?

Thanks in advance

James

there is an auto-login + email login hack already made:

Thanks. I'll take a look at them.
