Hello everyone:

I am happy to announced that I successfully hacked my Joomla CMS site concerning the email account field in the user.

It is admittedly crazy but I succeeded and of course, I saved a copy of the original php files that were hacked.

It was both the forms.php in .../user/tmpl folder and default.php in ... /users/tmpl that needed adjustments.


Thank You for all the feedback.

Sue,

"yes", one of the first things I said to the client was to just enter a dummy email that points to a non-existing domain. He replied that he "had enough to do when entering each user" and would prefer if the email field was not even on the form.

This will be my fallback if all else fails and really does seem to be the sane and logical approach.

Thank You
Bob Rynkiewicz

Going with the dummy email idea, have you considered using a convention based on the username + dummy domain? That way it is unique and you are not hacking code over this:-)

    Donna,

    Thank You, I did try that but unfortunately Joomla CMS is also
    looking
    for duplicate email addy's.

    I was just hacking
    /administrator/components/com_users/views/user/tmpl/forms.php

    But it still did not work. Where in Hades is the verification taking
    place? Is it in multiple places?
