[AITW] Bypass EM password, as an option?

[markus_petrux]

For my test boards I always apply a little modification to EM so it doesn't require password.

I'm not sure if I found the hack somewhere or I wrote it. Here it is anyway:

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
admin/admin_easymod.php
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
if ($get_password)
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
if( md5('') == get_em_pw() )
{
	$get_password = false;
	$password = '';
}
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
		'L_EM_INTRO' => $lang['EM_Intro'],
#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
		'S_ACTION' => append_sid('admin_easymod.' . $phpEx),

Well, it bypasses the password prompt only if the password is empty.

I wonder if some sort of this could be added to a future version of EM. Maybe to make it more suitable, it could be added an option, so at installation time, the admin can mark a checkbox to confirm the "password panel bypass" whenever the password is set as empty.

Thanks for this fix (err... mod)

Hi!

I have updated the MOD posted in the topic starter. I forgot the second step, the FIND/AFTER ADD action.

This is necessary, otherwise the S_ACTION field of the forms in the MOD Install report is missing.

I would change one line of it to lower the load time a little:

Code: Select all

if( md5('') == get_em_pw() )

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

if( $get_password && md5('') == get_em_pw() )

This way PHP engine will check if the pass was needed at that point first and then check the password (if needed).
