ISSUE SUMMARY:
We instruct our users to put their email address as their username, as we find that too many forget usernames.
Since we upgraded to 4.1.6 we have discovered that if the user edits their profile, when they save, the @ is stripped from the username.
Obviously this means that they can't login using their email address as username.
Has something changed? Do you why '@' is being stripped?
This has happened to 2 people (including me)


STEPS TO REPLICATE:
1 register with email address as username
2 edit profile and save
3
4
5
RESULT @ is disappearing from the username
EXPECTED RESULT email address should be a possible username.

Hi, Susan.

I'm sorry but I can't replicate this on my test site: i.imgur.com/h4PzzuV.png
Where I can test this on your?

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

Michal,

There is definitely an issue. What we have found is that this can be fixed by....

in /components/com_community/controllers/profile.php

from line 790 onwards:

//if joomla settings allow change login name
if(JComponentHelper::getParams('com_users')->get('change_login_name')){
$username = $jinput->get('username');
}

change to:

//if joomla settings allow change login name
if(JComponentHelper::getParams('com_users')->get('change_login_name')){
$username = $jinput->get('username','','STRING');
}

However, we have not tested that this will not cause any other problems, so Jomsocial should test it.

Hi, Is there any progress on this? When our users save their profile their login details are getting corrupted! Not an ideal way of welcoming people to our site!

Thanks

Please, make safe copy of this file:
