Joomla Email Login Plugin

Email login for Joomla

By default, when logging into a website using Joomla source code, you need to enter your Username and Password. However, in some cases, you'll want users to be able to use Email instead of their Username to log in. The plugin below will help you.

After activating the plug-in, users can log in to the website with their registered email account and password without worrying about forgetting their username.

This plugin works with Joomla 4,5 and 6.

 

After installing it, you go to the Admin page > System > Plugins > System - JMP Email Login > Enable it.

From now on, users can use both their username and email address to log in.

Note: There are some cases that after activating the plugin, the website may crash. When it does you can solve it by using your hosting's File browser to access the directory: plugins/system. Then change the folder name "email" to "email_tmp". Next, report your error to me, I will check and fix it.

    Hello,

    Plugin works like a charm in front-end, but I doesn't seem to work for administrator login as of now.
    Am I doing something wrong or is the functionality site-only?

      @Staweb "Username" is still used as usual. This plugin only adds a login method for users (in case they prefer to use an email address).

    Hello
    The plugin works fine in my Joomla! 4, but when I install the Jomsocial extension, then the plugin stops working and there is no way to log in via emial.
    Is it possible to make the plugin work with other extensions as well?

      @David I changed the order of system plugins, but the problem persists. It looks like the "System - Jomsocial Redirect" plugin is forcing the login method. With the old plugin "Authentication - EMail" from Michael Richey for Joomla 3.x login works fine. Maybe the login engine in Joomla 4 is structured differently.

      @Robi You try to go to Plugin Manager > Filter all system plugins > Click the "Sorting" button and drag the Email Login plugin to the top. I hope this issue will be fixed.

    Hello
    I had your free version. I have the impression now that it is pay only.No worries about buying it, I love it.
    I would just like to know if you have corrected what seems to me to be a problem? :
    On version 1.0, I had put nom@site.Eu and it was not recognised. I had to put nom@site.eu ?

    For info,
    a) I was not informed of an update via the joomla system :-(
    b) by putting JMP in "install from the web" I did not find this plugin!

    Regards

      @herve Hello!
      These bugs were fixed in the latest version 1.2.7
      -----
      [1]I had put nom@site.Eu and it was not recognised. I had to put nom@site.eu ?
      => Fixed.
      [2]I was not informed of an update via the joomla system :-(
      => You will receive a notification about the update but to update it, you need to download file from this page (it's paid extension).
      [3]by putting JMP in "install from the web" I did not find this plugin!
      => I still see it in "Install from the web" tab, please check my screenshot🙂

      @Tony I just tried on J4.2.3 and it still works. Have you activated the System - JMP Email Login plugin as instructed?

Gyani Singh File Manager Extension for Joomla
Dear Support Team,

We are using JMP File Manager version 1.3.3 on our Joomla 6.1.1 website and need your assistance with configuring folder-level access restrictions.

Requirement:

We want users assigned to the TeamMarketing user group to access only the docs folder. They should not be able to view or access other directories, such as administrator, components, images, modules, and other folders in the Joomla root directory.

Current Configuration:

Joomla Version: 6.1.1

JMP File Manager Version: 1.3.3

Configured Path: .

Advanced Permissions:

[TeamMarketing]docs
[Editor]docs

The TeamMarketing user is assigned to the TeamMarketing group, and the TeamMarketing group is nested under the Publisher group in our Joomla user-group hierarchy.

However, after saving the configuration and logging in as the TeamMarketing user, the file manager still displays the entire Joomla root directory and its folders instead of restricting access to the docs folder.

We have also reviewed the component permissions in Joomla Global Configuration, but the folder-level restriction is still not working as expected.

Could you please clarify the following?

Is our current Advanced Permissions syntax correct for JMP File Manager version 1.3.3?

How should we configure the component to allow the TeamMarketing group to access only the docs folder?

Does the component support restricting the root directory and hiding all other folders based on Joomla user groups?

Are there any additional settings, permission rules, or code changes required to achieve this functionality?

We can provide screenshots of our current configuration and the issue for further investigation.

We would appreciate your guidance on the correct configuration or a recommended fix.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
