I have users around site that share an email address. But joomla will not auto create there account due to someone else already loggin in and registering the email adddress on there name..
Is there any way of allowing multiple users to share email addresses???
Remove the email address checking???
I will have a look into this for you and see what i can find
According to the Joomla forums
Quote:
You can't have a blank email mapping - J! Requires an email address. Also, the email address can't be the same as someone elses.
How do you have users who share an email address?
I imagine it's something like office@ or admissions@ no?Quote:

We have users in departments that share one emaill account. They do not have access to a personnal email account. Is there any way of removing the double email checking??
No. The system relies on the email address being unique.Quote:

If somone tells me what to change and where i'll do it.
Excuse me if this sounds daft but why can't you create additional email accounts and have them forward any mail to the shared email account?
Why should I setup extra mail accounts....
im not talking about an exta 5 - 10 mailboxes
it would be more like 150 -200 = more money
+ the extra time it will take setting up these mail accounts.
So that Joomla LDAP Registration will work for you......Quote:

the extra 200 accounts will cost far too much and be a total nightmare to manage.
The amount of staff turnover is quite high so to keep having to setup forwards every five minuites is unreasonable.
If your an IT Tech you would understand this.
We have had 21 staff members leave in the last year, and have hired roughly 25. Adding email addresses is just part of our job, regardless of whether it is time consuming or not.Quote:
