I know this sounds like a bizarre request, but...
Is there anyway of modifying the CMSMS code so that a Username is already in the Username box when you load up the admin login panel?
I have good reason to want this.
When my user goes to www.website.com/admin. I want the password box to be empty, but the username box to have a name already there.
Possible?
But how? HOW I ask you?
Really hope you can help me with this odd request.
Login, with the Username already inserted.
Re: Login, with the Username already inserted.
This is more a browser question... In my FF browser I let it prompt the forms that are known... So you can choose to show only names, or have the passwords inserted as well... IIRC is it set in the options in IE, under Content, AutoFill or something similar.. There you can set, if you want names on forms and/or passwords to be inserted already...

Re: Login, with the Username already inserted.
I hear you Ronny, Lord knows I do.
But I don't want this to be a cookies, passwords, browser issue. I'm having users directed to their login pages from another space, where they've already typed their username in. I don't want for them to have to do it again. You see? There must be a way, in the same way a search box can already say "search" in it when you load up a page,
Non?
Thoughts? Feedback? Desires?

Re: Login, with the Username already inserted.
Why are they going from one page that they have to sign into to get to the login page of cmsms, and can't you do a pass to this page using JS or something, can't they just go to the login page w/o having to sign in some where else first, sounds like you are just making it hard for them...
Re: Login, with the Username already inserted.
Well my issue must have arisen before.
I have multiple CMS installations, most are on my own server and some are on others. Then sometimes my users own their own domains, have their CMS installation on my server and use add-on domain to link the two together, sometimes they use Web Diversion to view the server space.
Because of all these many different ways of using CMS that have developed over time, it's sometimes difficult for my users to know where to login to.
Eg:
their website might be www.site.com
but in order to login they have to go to, www.particularlylongsitename.com/site/admin
Which is confusing to them.
Some of my users will even forget that they need to add "login" to their domain.
To give a simple option to all of them, my website will have a search box on it. When you type in your username, it will take you to your login page and insert your username, you then just add your password.
It gives them a definite and accessible way to login if they forget the alternatives.
I have got a piece of java that redirects them to the right CMS panel if they type a matching username. But I don't want them to then have to then type it again.
As complex as all this sounds, for my users it will make life very simple. "If you forget the address of your login panel, just type your username in on my website and it will take you there"
I hope this makes some sense. So I'm looking to modify the panel page, so the username is already inserted.
Sorry for the long post.

Re: Login, with the Username already inserted.
OK so they can't use a bookmark/favorites to get to it, whatever, you can try FTP to the site > admin/themes/ and in the theme used there is a login.php and you can try putting the name in it where it talks about username...
