how to prefill username ?

[kallagan]

Hi

I did a small index page for my website, with links to RC for several users.
I'd like username to be prefilled using a carrystring value

ex : http://mywebsite/mail/?username=foo

where foo is a valid user.
My browser will fill the password value by itself.

is anyone can help me ?
Thanx.

Regards.

PS : i tried to add :
$_user = $_GET['username'];

at the top of RC index.php but it doesn't work

Hi,

Look for this in program/include/rcube_template.php (about line 869 in v0.2a, i think)

Code Select Expand


$input_user   = new html_inputfield(array('name' => '_user', 'id' => 'rcmloginuser', 'size' => 30, 'autocomplete' => 'off'));


and then change it to:

Code Select Expand


$input_user   = new html_inputfield(array('name' => '_user', 'id' => 'rcmloginuser', 'size' => 30, 'autocomplete' => 'off', 'value' => $_GET['username']));


this should set the default value for the username field to the value of the username parameter in the URL.

ouch.
thx for your help but doesn't work ...

I leave the _GET at the beginning of index.php
value of username doesn't seem to be kept from index to other files (include files)

ok, try this....

Forget what i said before, the value is set later (I didnt have a chance to actually try the code before but I have now). Still in program/include/rcube_template.php look for:

Code Select Expand


$table->add(null, $input_user->show(get_input_value('_user', RCUVE_INPUT_POST)));


This line sets the value of the username field to what you just entered when you get the password wrong so I would guess you want to keep it but we can alter it to pick up the username from the URL as well.... replace the line with this:

Code Select Expand


$post_user = get_input_value('_user', RCUVE_INPUT_POST);
if (!empty($post_user))
    $table->add(null, $input_user->show($post_user));
else
    $table->add(null, $input_user->show($_GET['_user']));


You can't read the value from the URL into a variable at the top of index.php and then read that variable from within the login_form function as it will be out of scope.

I tested this on the latest SVN, not 0.2a but it should work just the same.

almost perfect !
value is correctly filled at the good place ! well done


... but next field (password) is already activated and so my browser (firefox) doesn't filled it automatically with the recorded password.
It's better than to have to fill username AND password, I now just have to click on the filled username and re-click on the password field and the browser does its job...

ok that works !

I change autocomplete from off to on right here :

$input_user   = new html_inputfield(array('name' => '_user', 'id' => 'rcmloginuser', 'size' => 30, 'autocomplete' => 'on'));
