Login via Email or Phone Number

[Digitwellsolutions]

Hi,
I have extended the user table with phonenumber and phonecountry columns to allow the user to login with a phone number instead of an email.
I have made the change to the view, login.blade.php, but I can't see how to change the code to use this information.

The blade goes to route - backpack.auth.login on submit,

according to the route:list, this goes to
GET|HEAD admin/login .................................................... backpack.auth.login › Backpack\CRUD › LoginController@showLoginForm

but I can't find this function.

Any help/ tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Digitwellsolutions

This function is in /vendor/backpack/crud/src/app/Library/Auth/AuthenticatesUsers.php

You need to override if need to customize the login process.

Cheers.

Thanks @jorgetwgroup for the steer.
I had to:

1. Create my own LoginController and also a copy of AuthenticateUsers trait which this uses.
2. Make the appropriate changes
3. set 'setup_auth_routes' to false
4. copy all of the login and register routes to 'routes/backpack/custom.php'
5. Point the login routes at my new controller.

I now need to do the same for forgotten password.

Is there an easier way?

There is a way to use a username instead email here, but if you want to customize more you need to handle in this way.

Cheers.
