[Xerte-dev] Re: Can you replicate this?

[Simon Atack]

I have found and fixed both the issues.  The issue with the properties page not showing the URL was as suspect a simple additional parameter check.  The second issue with logins ended up being the wrong variable names in the form being checked, to help reduce such issues in future I have implemented the authentication check in a function and placed in login_library.php and now LTI, index & the password protection on play all use these routines.

the auth code is in library something, but I think the function name remains the same
