DO NOT give out any FTP passwords to anyone! There is no reason to do so! If you need help badly enough, create a temporary FTP account that is restricted to only the files that you need help with and give the information for that. Giving out FTP information can be very dangerous!

Re: "Turn off password" select
Exactly what was the point of changing the file required for pagestart? It serves no purpose whatsoever....

Re: "Turn off password" select
It allows you to get the userdata (specifically the user_id) so you know which admin is which. That way only the one admin can use EasyMod. and I include the pagestart.php because otherwise getting the data might conflict with the session_pagestart... I think. And it must go up there because if it went where it was before the other admins would still see the link displayed... which isn't THAT much of a problem but... oh well.

Your code suggestion won't work, for many reason. At least, pagestart are always requested while beeing in admin panel. If you need extra auth, just use standard phpBB auths in a proper way.
Also you forget that being a board administrator is not the same thing that being a webmaster, although often both functions are cumulate by the same person.

Re: "Turn off password" select
Ummm... I understand your second point, but just change the ID to the right ID. And your first I don't really understand.
But if I was wrong, don't use the code. Sorry, I'm not all that good with the code.

Yep you're wrong : first in the choice : hardcoding user_id is really a dirty way to proceed, second the modification itself will issue to runtime errors.

Re: "Turn off password" select
OK, then... uh... Don't use the code. If you have more than one admin use the solution I said before: don't install the mod.
hello
Re: "Turn off password" select
Why not ? Just set a password . Anyway, I won't advice to install easymod on a living environement, so on a test environement, it is less critical.

As I said, things with the PW are going to change quite a bit so this suggestion is declined.Nuttzy99 wrote:I thought of disabling it if no password was set. I can't remember why I decided not to do this but there was a reason. Doesn't matter b/c this is all going to get changed anyway (MD5) and I'm not sure what the end result is going to look like
