[Xerte] Xerte Toolkits Setup

[RonM]

If you added a username and password to the admin fields when you ran set-up
then visit management.php to make the changes you need. If you didn't add an
admin account during setup then add that direct to the database and then
visit management.php.

Subject: [Xerte] Xerte Toolkits Setup

 

Hello Xerte Team,

 

Having installed Xerte On-line toolkits I am now a little wiser than I was
when I first ran the setup and I would like to change some of the settings.

 

However If I run the setup once again I am presented with a blank screen. I
had expected that the software would recover the original settings so that I
could edit them.

 

This of course raises a security issue that I think has been discussed
elsewhere on the list. 

 

I guess the ideal situation is for the ability to create super user accounts
or at least one admin account that has the ability to rerun the setup so as
to modify configuration settings. Or is this already possible and I don't
know about it :-)

 

Any way I am now in a position where I can edit some of the settings by
editing the values in the sitedetails table, but some of the fields appear
to be encrypted in some way. These seem to be the news_text, pod_one and
pod_two fields. Is there some way of editing them. It seems a shame that I
cannot change a simple link to the demo, removing the java script and
repointing the href link to the demo of toolkits.

 

Kind regards

 

Johnathan
