Membership Plugin Question - scary request

Hi,

The error checking that forces a user to use a unique email is actually not part of the plugin, but part of the signup form. If you're using the code that came with the plugin (sample_signup.php), you'll see this code:

// check for duplicate usernames and emails
if (!$errorsAndAlerts) {
$count = mysql_select_count_from('accounts', "`username` = '".mysql_escape(@$_REQUEST['username'])."'");
if ($count > 0 && @$_REQUEST['username']) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "That username is already in use, please choose another!<br/>\n"; }

$count = mysql_select_count_from('accounts', "'".mysql_escape($_REQUEST['email'])."' IN (email, username)");
if ($count > 0) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "That email is already in use, please choose another!<br/>\n"; }
}

This checks to see if the user name or email entered when signing up already exists. It's important that usernames are forced to be unique, but if you want to allow for multiple accounts using the same email address, you can remove the second part, so the code would then look like this:

// check for duplicate usernames and emails
if (!$errorsAndAlerts) {
$count = mysql_select_count_from('accounts', "`username` = '".mysql_escape(@$_REQUEST['username'])."'");
if ($count > 0 && @$_REQUEST['username']) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "That username is already in use, please choose another!<br/>\n"; }


}

You'll need to make the same change in the profile page where they can update their user information.

Hope this helps.
