I use joomla's default login module. The module asks for username and password at the time of login. I want it to change it to Email and Password. Where do i change the code for it to happen. I use Joomla 1.5.21 . Any help is appreciated
Thanks and Regards
Sanjai
there is already a extension module for that purpose. I think it is much easier this way. You can find more info about it here:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/authentication/10343
If you prefer to do it yourself, then you have to look into couple of different folders:
joomla_root/modules/login/
joomla_root/joomla/user/ (authentication.php)
In addition, you need to change all references to "username" to "e-mail", and to do that I suggest you make a change in the language localization file which can be found here:
joomla_root/language/en-GB/

I'm using magento 1.9, and made sure that my var and media folder's permissions are on 777.
I can't seem to login into the admin panel even with the correct login details.
The problem seems to be frequent in many installation,i guess it the the cookie problem.
Have a look at the link below it may solve the issue.

I want check joomla default password is mix or not actually i want in joomla registration when user enter password then it must be 4 characters and 2 numeric . how i do this in joomla 2.5. I have checked in validate,js file also . but in this file only for increase password string not check mix password. so how i do that.
Joomla doesn't have this in its standard package.
The best place to look would be the Password Management section the Joomla Extension Directory, it looks like it has a few solutions in it.
For some reason, when I log into my joomla 1.6 backend, it is now empty, displaying only a logout button. Any Ideas?
I just went through the same problem but on J!1.7.3. There may be many, many reasons but please check using just URL if you can see for example:
[YourDomainHere]/administrator/index.php?option=com_content or
[YourDomainHere]/administrator/index.php?option=com_modules
If content is listing and you're missing just Admin-menu and sub-navigation in back-end --> this means you messed-up with access levels and viewing access.
If you can't see content listing - ignore the rest of this post :-)
...with access levels and viewing access. To check that, try entering [YourDomainHere]/administrator/index.php?option=com_users&view=levels and enter each position in the list. Joomla backend navigation module usually has Access set to Special, so focus on this one. When enter Special - manager, author and super administrator should be ticked. If everything empty in any from the list - this is your issue :)
You need to add manager, author and super administrator to your Special access level. Obviously you can't see Save button, so you need to use database. [wrrr :) sounds scary?] Not a big deal, just go there using for example phpMyAdmin and find _viewlevels table. In there just edit Special and add [6,2,8] values to set up manager, author, super.....
Update database. Try to log-in one more time (close browser and clean cache before).
I hope if this wasn't helpful for you, will be for somebody else.
p.s. There may be a way of 'saving' changes in you joomla access levels with URL. Then you don't need to go to DB .. but I don't know if this is feasible at all :)
Check the rewrite of htaccess and the $mosConfig_absolute_path variable in config.php
Apparently, the Bluestork Template (admin template) has some security issues. In my case there were some missing files in the template folder /administrator/templates/bluestork/ that caused the administrator screen to appear blank. I've copied a clean version of the template in the bluestork folder and after that I was able to see the backend admin area.
I've removed the bluestork templates entirely for now, which seems to be the best option. Joomla installs 2.5.8, 2.5.6, 2.5.2, 1.7.0, 1.6.3 are affected. The Blustork Template is a target for hacks with old Joomla.
this happening becoz of admin user lost his permissions. see below article to fix this issue

I want to create a custom Joomla registration form and a profile to show the information saved. For this I followed the answer on this thread. I have cloned and changed the files of the user profile plugin. Now the problem is that the edited profile form is not displayed after I have enabled the plugin. I have a login link on my site, which on success redirects to a profile display page after that. When I click edit on the profile display page, the edit profile form is still the same old one and it is located at profile?layout=edit. All it has is:
Name
Username
Password
Confirm Password
Email
Confirm Email
Basic Settings
Why is this not working. The installation was also fine.
Is this even the right way of doing this.
Please help with this. I appreciate all the help. Thanks!
See original Joomla docs on how to add a profile plugin in Joomla 1.6

I ended up going with Community Builder. It has amazing search features.
I want to change administrator path of mysite in joomla. ex. currently i have admin path http://myserver/mysite/administrator but now i want to change it
http://myserver/mysite/admin .
Check out the constants in /includes/defines.php and /administrator/includes/defines.php
Unfortunately Joomla doesn't have a clean way of changing this without changing core files and even then this will cause problems while applying update patches in the future.
What you should consider is installing jSecure, an an extension which will prevent people from hitting mysite.com/administrator page directly. You can access your admin panel by going to mysite.com/administrator?MySecretKey (set your own secret key) but people who try to access it directly will be redirected to the front page.
I hope this helps.
