Hi tafkap,

I applied the Register Globals Contrib to my oscMax RC1 - And have just upgraded to RC2 by comparing RC2 into my RC1 - I had already added stuff to my installation, but as far as i could see the changes made by the Contrib has not been touched by oscMax moving from RC1 to RC2.

Best regards,
Michael

I just installed this mod then did a clean install of oscMax RC2 since my new host does not suppourt turning on register globals i had to use this mod.

anyway when i logged in and tried to change the password on my new admin user i get the screen asking for the password to confirm it then when it is supposed to load the screen to change the pass word i just get this screen that is missing the field to change it. I have attached a screenshot for your visual referance



Any idea's

I have the same issue. Install works and i applied the patch as well as the .sql file. I can login and everything seems to work, but i cannot change the admin password and email address.

Any ideas? I really hope this register_globals issue is getting the attention it deserves. Many hosts are disabling register_globals and personally i think it's a great idea. If anyone can assist, i'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Righ click on the file and select save target as... save the file. RENAME the file with a .ZIP file extention (you may hve to change your folder option to NOT to "Hide extentions for known file types" in order to view/edit the extention.

I had the same problem and found a solution. I have very limited php experience but there seems to be a bug in admin/admin_account.php. To fix the problem added this line:

PHP Code:

          $confirm_account='ok'; 


After the following code:

PHP Code:

        // Check that password is good
        if (!tep_validate_password($HTTP_POST_VARS['password_confirmation'], $check_pass['confirm_password'])) {
          tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADMIN_ACCOUNT, 'action=check_account&error=password'));
        } else {
          //$confirm = 'confirm_account'; 


There may be a better way to solve this but like I said I'm new to php.

Enjoy!

Where, exactly? I AM logged in, because I can post, and it says Hi, kenlyle....

Is this the same Contrib that's on the OSCommerce site? or should we be looking for an OSCMax specific version?

Thanks,
Ken

Check the date on my post... 2005.

This is a thread from the old forums. The attachments were not migrated due to technical issues. I will see if I can find it.

See this thread:
Testers needed for register_globals/register_long_arrays=off

It is a new version of the register globals mod made for osCMax RC3.
