I am currently using VB 3.74, I have not upgraded to PL1, but I will in a short moment. I don't know how many users have had any resolution to this, and I was nervous for a fraction of a second before I read through the mod and really took a moment to understand what it was doing:

I am a Director of Marketing and training for a modest NFP organization, our initiatives are funded by our member dues, plain and simple. We are planning to open up the site from a pretty non-interactive VB to a defined VB system with users actually entering the system, belonging to member classes, etc. For record keeping, we want our members to log in with their emails, this way, if something changed significantly, they might be inclined to modify their email address in their control panel so that we're all up to date.

So, if you are looking to EXLUSIVELY require your members to log in with their emails (don't forget, this changes the Admin CP log in too), open the prescribed file in the original post, and if the file is otherwise unmodified, scroll down to around line 140, this is where you will find :

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Comment that out with // and substitute the following:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

All of these instructions were contained in the original post, just probably a few of you users, like me, don't really know what all is going on in those lines of code!

Again, this works, and unless VB drastically overhauls the login system, I see this very simple process working for patches to come.

Cheers and Merry Christmas/Holidays and Happy New Year!

Can i get for version 4?

Vote on vB.com to have this feature made standard: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-9646

[davidthornton]

Does anyone have this working for v4.x? I'd like to be able to change a v4.x installation to only allow login via email address instead of username (and have the forum only permit one account per email address as well)

That works, too. Are there any differences between both versions, eg performance, security or stability wise?

I can confirm that ONLY the above code works for 3.8.5 too

I add that you also need to change Username to Name/email. Look in language for: <strong>$vbphrase[username]</strong>
Then Look for template register and search in it for: <strong>$vbphrase[username]</strong> and change it to <strong>$vbphrase[user_name]</strong>
This will keep in register template the phrase Username and in login box Name/Email.
If you don't do this modification You will have allot of users registering with email address instead of Username.

Thanks

There is a small bug ( a space between - and > ) and gives an error if you upgrade to 3.8.7 PL2 so here is the working code I use:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I have not tested this, but in vBulletin 4, try this:

In the file includes/functions_login.php, find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

And replace with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Did you change anything with respect to the latest v3 versions? I'm getting this error on v4.1.8:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Only thing that was changed for vB 4 was this:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

was added to the query
