s2 pro form : login with email id & pw

Is there any way to login with email id & password on pro forms?

I have tried using wp email login plugin but it does not affect pro form at all.

Pro form seems to allow login with username & password combo only.

Do you mean the Pro Login Widget? Right, that other plugin won’t affect this widget. I don’t know how to make the widget accept the email address instead of the username. I’ll ask Jason if there’s a way.

That would be very helpful. These additional features will make s2member pro and even more attractive solution.

Thanks for the heads up on this thread.

Right, s2Member and WordPress (at least, by default), require a Username/Password combination. s2Member’s Pro Login Widget posts data to /wp-login.php, which contains the core WordPress routines for validating these credentials. The ability to login with an email address would require custom mods, or perhaps another plugin which is designed to handle that type of scenario.

Cristian asked me to take another look at this for you.

I just did a quick review of that plugin you posted. It looks like the changes this plugin makes will allow the Pro Login Widget to function this way also. So it’s fine. The only remaining issue is the wording in the Pro Login Widget itself. Instead of asking a User for a “Username” in the Pro Login Widget, it might be desirable to ask for Username or Email Address.

The change needed is at line #118 inside:
/s2member-pro/includes/classes/login-widget.inc.php

Find:

echo '<label for="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-username">' . _x ("Username", "s2member-front", "s2member") . ':</label><br />' . "\n";

Change to:

echo '<label for="ws-plugin--s2member-pro-login-widget-username">' . _x ("Username or Email Address", "s2member-front", "s2member") . ':</label><br />' . "\n";

This could be handled with a Filter against gettext_with_context, but that might produce unwanted changes in other areas of s2Member, where all you’d want is just Username. Therefore, it’s better to hard code this particular change following the instructions above. I’ll see what we can do to make this simpler going forward.

Nice! :)

Fantastic Jason. I’m sure you’ll find a way to add this as another admin feature to the already impressive array in a future release.

Thank you.
