    Username vs. Email Address

    Hello,

    I was just wondering if it is possible with ZenCart to change the account login information from 'Email Address' to 'Username' so that the field doesn't require an @ symbol?. I changed the field heading in english.php no problem, however, the following message appeared on the next page: "Sorry, my system does not understand your email address. Please try again."

    What I'm guessing is that I would have to program the page so that either a Username, or an email address is needed. If the customer enters an email address, the invoice will be emailed to them. If the customer enters a Username instead, ZenCart will recognise this and not send them an email, but ask them to print the page when they have placed their order. Does print_stylesheet.css have anything to do with this? I was curious if this is possible?

    Thanks for all of your amazing help in advance guys!

    Default Re: Username vs. Email Address

    The email address is the key by which authentication is handled.
    If you desire to change that, you will have to embark on a custom-coding adventure.

    Re: Username vs. Email Address

    Thanks so much Dr.Byte. At least I know what it will take now. Just out of curiosity, I was wondering the approx. chance that a user would not have an email address to use? I'm guessing very slim. Thanks.
