Disabling the security code graphic and logic

General Joined: Mar 22, 2003 Posts: 5233 Location: USA

To disable the security code check, do this

Code:

Find the 7 occurrences of exactly this:

extension_loaded("gd")

There will be five in the modules/Your_Account/index.php, one in the admin.php, and one in the auth.php.

Change all 7 to this:

0

So, the 'if' statements will go from looking like this
if (extension_loaded("gd")

to this
if (0

or if you're really concerned about squeezing out cycles, change the whole 'if' statement to

if (0)

or comment out that whole 'if' block!

You may also have to do similar coding to any customized Site Info or User Info blocks Wink

Hello Raven,

I have commented out the seven IF statements and I can login fine; however, now, it isn't keeping me logged in. I haven't changed any cookie settings, and I can still login and it takes me to the Your_Account page, but when I click on anything else, it states I am no longer logged in.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hmmmm. I and many others have used this successfully. I would suggest that your commenting out may have commented out too much Wink

. Try restoring the file and then just modifying the code instead of commenting it out.

Hello,

I think I found the problem...

In one of the IF statements in modules/Your_Account/index.php, an ELSE statement (which saves the cookie) is part of the IF statement. I moved the ELSE statement, changed the brackets, and everything worked fine..

i modified the code first with if (0) then with if (0, because the first had given me problems with parse second one solved em for the auth, and admin, but when it came to the index.php in your account folder none of them worked not commenting, not modifying....here is my error

Parse error: parse error in /home/nicolemi/public_html/modules/Your_Account/index.php on line 467

and the line from 467

if (0 {

You are missing your closing )

Change
if (0 {
to
if (0) {

This trick doesn't seem to work for the admin login. What's the additional story here?

Your Account has to be set for All Users, not Registered Users to work.

Commented out the whole if (extension) thing in the admin.php and uploaded, now the thing just won't work.

when i enter my username and password, it just takes me back to the same admin page.

i just want to disable this security for the user login only, I still want it to work everywhere else.... I am on 6.5 ATM

So each occurence of if (extension_loaded("gd") AND $code != $_POST[gfx_check]) {
Will look like,
if (0) AND $code != $_POST [gfx_check]) {

? or do I just replace the whole line with if (0)

Thanks, I am not having any luck with this for some reason! Crying or Very sad
