I am using the auth component but I don't want to use a username I want to use the users email address instead. So i've renamed my username field to username and then in my controller put the following:
$this->Auth->fields = array(
'username' => 'email',
'password' => 'password'
);
I also renamed my input in the login form from username to email like so:
echo $session->flash('auth');
echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'login'));
echo $form->input('email');
echo $form->input('password');
echo $form->end('Login');
The form now does not work it just keeps sayin the username or password is incorrect.
