<P><FONT size=2>To help myself as admin, I made the icons on the frontpage clickable: if I click on Xerte (left) I get the normal login, if I click on the Notingham Castle (right) I get the management,php login page. <BR><BR>>>> Patrick Lockley <Patrick.Lockley@nottingham.ac.uk> 22-05-09 14:00 >>><BR>Not obviously.

Assuming these are set, and it sounds like they are -<BR>does it just say they aren't correct. Mine works fine - I think<BR>Johnathan's works as well - pretty sure Ron's works too.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Re MD5 - yep, over sight on my part - reasoning - we had a lot of people<BR>with 0.5 and 0.8 installs where there was no admin role. When we moved<BR>to 0.9 and 1.0 originally we modded the logindetails table to allow for<BR>a user role flag, but this would mean everyone with an install modding<BR>their tables.
