Email-based login system

Contrib by Griatch, 2012

This is a variant of the login system that asks for an email-address instead of a username to login. Note that it does not verify the email, it just uses it as the identifier rather than a username.

This used to be the default Evennia login before replacing it with a more standard username + password system (having to supply an email for some reason caused a lot of confusion when people wanted to expand on it. The email is not strictly needed internally, nor is any confirmation email sent out anyway).

Installation

To your settings file, add/edit the line:

CMDSET_UNLOGGEDIN = "contrib.base_systems.email_login.UnloggedinCmdSet"
CONNECTION_SCREEN_MODULE = "contrib.base_systems.email_login.connection_screens"

That’s it. Reload the server and reconnect to see it.

Notes:

If you want to modify the way the connection screen looks, point CONNECTION_SCREEN_MODULE to your own module. Use the default as a guide (see also Evennia docs).
