Good Day! i have a problem about login name tool. i want to show the email instead. but username, fullname and avatar are the only one that i can select. Is this possible that i want to show the email field instead?.

Thank you for the answer.

There is currently no option to display the email address, this information is not store din the session data.

I am not quite sure what you are trying to do but if you want users to login using their email address rather than a username, that is possible.

You will need to record the email address as the username and then in the Login object under Username Label change to Email Address as a reminder to the user when they Login. If you are using the Signup object to get users to register then again you will need to change the Username Label to E-mail, although this does mean that you will have the E-mail appearing twice on the signup form.

I want to show the username on form automatically when user filling form or submitting form and recorded on mysql database. how can I do that ?
till now I just can show the username on from but not recorded to mysql database.

Do you mean the username from the login tools?

Code: Select all

<?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>

Just to clarify what Pablo has said, this needs to be placed as the Initial Value in an Editbox on your Form.
