[RCU] Change label for login input field "username"

[f***@gmx.de]

Hi,

At the moment, my RC installation ask the user to provide "Username" and
"Password" during the login. Can this be changed to "eMail-Address" and
"Password"? The login already works with provided either one of these
two, so I would just like to change the label itself, nothing else.

Thanks
Konrad

Hello Konrad

This simplest way to achieve this is to modify the localization file(s) and
change the value for $labels['username']. This change however, has be
repeated after every update of Roundcube and should be applied with a patch
file. A more complication approach is to create a custom skin which
replaces the login.html template. The downside here is, that the login form
itself is created by an internal function and would need to be re-built by
hand inside that login template. See
https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/wiki/Skins for details about
this.

Best,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Appreciate your quick feedback!

I already tweaked the localization files for German and English, so I'm
good for now. I was just wondering if there is a more simple solution.
Creating a custom skin seems a bit overkill for just changing one
string, but thanks for the hint ;-)
