Login Standard & Converter

[Como]

Hi.

We have just finished converting our SMF forum over to IPS and I received a warning about usernames being as login credentials. I intended to change username to email address as the credential, but I have no idea what is meant by 'standard' and 'converter'. Further, I have read various threads here which indicate potential problems with these settings. Please advise before I make changes.

Thanks.

As you have done a conversion, edit both of those and change them both to email.

When you do a conversion, it needs to add a converter login method, which actually works with the standard one. It checks if it's a converted login, and if not uses standard, so when you have those mixed (one set to username and one to email) it can cause problems and confusion

Great, Marc. Just what I needed!

Oh, and what of these?

• Allow Admin CP logins?
• Allow front-end logins?

I assume both normally should be allowed. Yes?

I would indeed set them to yes 🙂
