Logging in
Starting with version 0.955, both an username (e-mail address) and a password are required. The default username is "admin" and default password is "password".
A message & link during the installation process warns that this should be changed ASAP. If there is no log in link on your template, the easiest way to change the password is to go to http://YourSite.com/list?action=login
The log in is cookie-based and requires cookies to be enabled on your browser.
If you are upgrading from and earlier version, it may be necessary to clear your old cookies before the log in system will work properly since the cookies from the old system are a bit different than the new.
Magic Quotes
Magic quotes are a controversial feature of the PHP programming language. They are intended to make use if backslash "escape" characters completely transparent. It is faster for the built-in code to remove the backslashes.
To check your server settings, run a file with the following three lines:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Compare your output to http://contentor.net/phpinfo.php
The two lines of interest are:- magic_quotes_gpc On
- magic_quotes_runtime Off
If these are not set as shown, you can try putting the following two lines in your .htaccess file, but it can cause a 500 server error on some servers (esp. if they run CGI PHP).
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off
If that doesn't work, you can try putting the following code (from http://www.php.net/get_magic_quotes_gpc ) in the beginning of the util/functions.php file:
<?php
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 0)
{
function magicSlashes($element)
{
if (is_array($element))
return array_map("magicSlashes", $element);
else
return addslashes($element);
}
// Add slashes to all incoming GET/POST/COOKIE data.
$_GET = array_map("magicSlashes", $_GET);
$_POST = array_map("magicSlashes", $_POST);
$_COOKIE = array_map("magicSlashes", $_COOKIE);
}
?>
