everytime i find my username in ACP field forum image

Post by alexsupport »

Yesterday I did a fresh install: phpBB 3.3.4 .

Everything works as it should, but one thing doesn't work.
When I create a new forum in ACP, my username is automatically entered in the forum image box and the user password is entered in forum password.
Those two lines now have to be cleared every time before I can save the page.
Does anyone know what I should do to prevent this automatic filling in of my data on these unwanted positions?

Any chance your password manager is incorrectly recognizing those field as a standard username/password field. Turn it off in the browser and see if it happens with the autofill off.

thank you for your reply.

I tried a lot, even complete resetting browser settings. Didn't work.

Same behavure on other phpBB forum...

If noby reconisses it, it must be my browser, but where to look...?

It's your browser autofill function trying to be 'helpful'.

There should be an option in the settings to turn off autofill while you make your forums and then you can turn it back on again.

You can add autocomplete="off" to the input in the template.

Edit: It's already used for the password but adding this to the forum image input may prevent it from triggering both.

Open /adm/style/acp_forums.html and around line 163 find:

Code: Select all

		<dd><input class="text medium" type="text" id="forum_image" name="forum_image" value="{FORUM_IMAGE}" maxlength="255" /></dd>
Replace with:

Code: Select all

		<dd><input class="text medium" type="text" id="forum_image" name="forum_image" value="{FORUM_IMAGE}" maxlength="255" autocomplete="off" /></dd>

@thecoalman
How can i add that to the input in the template?

@invenio
Thank you, but im using Microsoft Edge (i know, not everybodys favorite)

@KevC
I did find that setting, i turned it off but still the username and password get filled in in the wrong place.

@Everybody else:
I did even delete my profile setting, so username, passwords, coockies and all other setting where out of the programm.
I even turned of the computer, then signed in again, i did not accept the question: remember username and password,
the i logged in on ACP, go to forum, create new forum: BAM username and password where filled in again.

I'm speachless now, out off resorces... I will now sit back for an hour, then try to get my life ordered again :roll:

I also presume you are not running any password manager extensions in your browser.

Chrome and Edge along with many other browsers are based on Chromium.

You can think of this as the engine, all the bells and whistles are added by the various companies that utilize it. The one good thing is it leads to consistent issues which is probably the case here.

I forgot to add that, you are referring to phpBB's cache? If not clear the cache from ACP. Anytime you make edits to templates always clear the cache.

This issue is not strange at all, it's persistent problem going back many years. Firefox did this for ages but they seemed to have fixed it or changes in phpBB fixed it. If that edit has not fixed your problem it's entirely a browser issue.
