MOD Validated/Released

Notes:
Some browsers will cause a problem with the User Admin panel in which the username/password of another user will be automatically changed by the web browser's password autocomplete. This MOD seeks to fix that error by changing instances of username to user_name.

Oh my gods, thank you.

Are those in-line find & replaces for the admin_ug_auth.php and admin_users.php file?

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------------
#

else if ( ( $mode == 'user' && ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['username'])

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------------
#

else if ( ( $mode == 'user' && ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['user_name'])

For example, the line that would be replaced in that function in my version would be:

Code: Select all

else if ( ( $mode == 'user' && ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['username']) || $user_id ) ) || ( $mode == 'group' && $group_id ) )

My question is... do you want us to replace username with user_name or should we replace the WHOLE line?

FINDs can be partial finds, so in this case, I believe the only thing you'd change is username to user_name.

Ok, that's what I did for both files. I usually do full line unless it says partial find in the comment or unless it is an in-line find & replace.

(This would be good to note for EM users.)

Oh and, the MOD is great. I have already several users wanting me to pass T0ny a big thanks. 8)

When you do a FIND the next actions should be on the full line even if the FIND is only a partial. If this MOD isn't doing that, then we made a mistake.

niksa · Post by **niksa** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 4:29 am

Well I think it should be an in-line find in this example for sure:

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------------
#

$s_hidden_fields .= '<input type="hidden" name="username"

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------------
#

$s_hidden_fields .= '<input type="hidden" name="user_name"

Because the line it finds is:

Code: Select all

$s_hidden_fields .= '<input type="hidden" name="username" value="' . str_replace("\"", """, $username) . '" />';

So for example, Easymod would replace that whole line with just $s_hidden_fields .= '<input type="hidden" name="user_name" and it could be confusing for manual moders too. EM will definitely hang up on this.

There are a couple find & replaces like that.. Might be worth a quick second glance. 8) Thanks for the replies.. I'm glad I was doing the right thing.

THANK YOU!!!

I have been dying for something to sort this problem out

First: What about passwords? Does this mod fix them too.
Second: Is it compatible with this mod? If not, could you help me to make it compatible?

Thanks!

MOD Updated to version 1.0.2
See first post for Download Link

Whoops, my bad. Guess that'll teach me to read the docs a bit better next time

Hopefully 1.0.2 should conform a bit better.

First: What about passwords? Does this mod fix them too.

Yes, it stops Firefox from automatically filling in both the username and the pasword field in the User Administration page.

Second: Is it compatible with this mod? If not, could you help me to make it compatible?

I don't think it will work with that MOD and I don't think there is anything I can change to make it work. The changes would have to be made to the other MOD to make it compatible with this one...I think

Thanks to all for problem reporting & patience with a newbie modder. (Hopfully the thing will work properly this time

)

Okay, i'll uninstall that mod then...

Are you ever going to fix this problem? After this MOD is installed, the Management option can no longer find ANY members of the community...

It works for me. That error may be caused by other Admin user/user search mods installed...
