[Resolved] Lookup user by email in plugin?

phaelax

Just when I thought I was ready for production, the powers that be decided to change everything on me. Using http-passthru, it looks up users by username. How can I lookup by email instead?

Current method in the plugin:
$acct = ClientAccount::lookupByUsername($username)

The parent class extends UserAuthenticationBackend
I looked at the user class where the username lookup is but didn't see a lookupByEmail method. Simply put, how can I create a client session based on their email?

I would think that you would have to edit the plugin itself to change this from username to email.

There is a function lookupByEmail($email) in /include/class.client.php.

Check this:

Thanks that worked. I was looking in the wrong class.
