313950 - Login screen should append emailsuffix to login field

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When prompting for a login / password, its not apparent to a user whether the bugzilla installation is using emailsuffix.  So the user can't be sure whether to type 'user' or '[e-mail]'.

emailsuffix should be shown immediately to the right of the text field, in the same way as it is on the account creation screen.

Reproducible: Always

While this surely has some merit, Bugzilla is going to some lengths to distinguish between the e-mail and the "login". All other "login" fields would need this amendment, too, if we chose to go this way. I'm not too sure we want that...

patch for login.html.tmpl, login-small.html.tmpl

I think this could be useful for users who are unsure about the login to enter.

Technically, the patch is correct and makes sense. I will let justdave or myk decide what to do with it.

I can imagine a lot of places not wanting to give that away on a screen that's publicly visible before you log in, too.  On the other hand, it's probably easier to remove it if you don't want it than it is to add it yourself if you do...  and the places that don't want it are more likely to have people on staff that can figure out how to do it as well.
