Magento Login with username

[diglin]

This module can help to add username attribute -> http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento- ... attributes
I don't know it but it seems to do the work.

The principe to add an attribute to any entity (here a customer but it can be a product, a quote or any EAV entity) is not so complex. Take a look in core files of Magento and analyze some files of a module (Customer or Catalog) like the config.xml, the folder sql and most of time the folder Model/Entity.php or Model/Mysql4/Setup.php it depends I don't have the whole structure in the head. But those file, contains the line to setup a new attribute.

Here an example how I made a new attribute entity for product entity, it's a free module I made and it will be available soon in Magento COnnect (it waits the moderator validation), the name is Rissip_Addinfotoemail
I created a sql php script (/code/local/MyCompany/MyModule/sql/blabla_setup/mysql4-install-1.0.0.php):

Code: Select all

$installer = $this;
/*@var $installer Rissip_Catalog_Model_Entity_Setup */

$installer->startSetup();
$entityTypeId = $installer->getEntityTypeId('catalog_product');
$defaultAttributeSetId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
/*$attributeGroupId = $installer->getDefaultAttributeGroupId($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId);*/

$installer->addAttributeGroup($entityTypeId, $defaultAttributeSetId, 'Additional options',50);

$installer->addAttribute($entityTypeId, 'comment_mail',  array(
        'group'         => 'Additional options',
        'label'         => 'Additional comment in Mail',
        'type'         => 'text',
        'input'         => 'textarea',
      'frontend'      => '',
        'backend'       => '',
        'class'         => '',
        'global'        => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
        'visible'       => true,
        'required'      => false,
      'default'       => '',
        'user_defined'  => false,
      'searchable'    => false,
        'filterable'    => false,
        'comparable'    => false,
        'visible_on_front'          => false,
        'unique'                    => false,
      'wysiwyg_enabled'          => true,
      'is_html_allowed_on_front'    => true,
      'used_for_price_rules'      => false,
      'is_configurable'         => false,
    )
);

$installer->endSetup();

Module Jfusion Customer available at this address http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/Sylvain_Raye/extension/7928/diglin_username

not working with magento set to master and joomla as slave with dual login yet because if you try to login with username joomla don't find it in master as it's searching for the email and than login does fail but else it's nice
we need to tell jfusion to use the username in magento to use for creating Accounts into joomla in username field

The current Magento plugin doesn't support yet username. It needs to be updated to work with the new Magento module. I will take care of that.

[mage]

that's what I try to do, works so far in all scenario expecting on user creation I cannot login with username until I think it manually. it's looking for correct email in magento before it creates the user at sync moment. where I find the function for this, just need to change the check with my simple username part I made I think cause in manual usersync of jfusion addmin it works fine


by the way

for my installation I use static attribute_id in query to fetch username from db, don't understand where it's saved before the var must be an array cause the other shit as last first name etc is in same table iam looking for

not my Problem, until I wanna share or must reinstall than it's changed to any random atribute id ツ
