[Forum] Inline Mod authentication problem with a custom modification

[bigrover]

I need some insight to find the source code for the inline mod authentication form. The modification I created uses loginname rather than username to perform authentication. It is working fine except for when using the moderation tools. vB creates the form and passes it the username as shown below. Where is the code that is building this form?

        <form class="block vbform"  method="post" action="login.php?do=login" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, 0)">    
            <input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />
            <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" value="" />        
            <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" value="" />
            <input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
            <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="1287422497-484bba698b627cde1530b1e9a57d2d108e82be31" />            
            <input type="hidden" name="postvars" value="4f67c5b57dab95b91b3bcebf1796b1c5480b1d86a:11:{s:10:&quot;deletetype&quot;;s:1:&quot;1&quot;;s:12:&quot;deletereason&quot;;s:0:&quot;&quot;;s:1:&quot;s&quot;;s:0:&quot;&quot;;s:13:&quot;securitytoken&quot;;s:51:&quot;1287422432-7481a105c3d2899d61824116f6db6dfbc5120165&quot;;s:9:&quot;threadids&quot;;s:2:&quot;30&quot;;s:2:&quot;do&quot;;s:15:&quot;dodeletethreads&quot;;s:3:&quot;url&quot;;s:32:&quot;/forums/forumdisplay.php?14-Fun1&quot;;s:4:&quot;ajax&quot;;N;s:5:&quot;tlist&quot;;N;s:5:&quot;plist&quot;;N;s:8:&quot;postvars&quot;;N;}" />

                            <input type="password" class="primary textbox" name="vb_login_password" id="navbar_password" tabindex="200" />

    </form>

You're wondering what template that is in?

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

Whack me on the head with a stick! That is just too easy. Thank you, Lynne.

Now for the deeper question... I'm trying to figure out why there is a login verification step if you go to delete or move a post through the Moderation Tools menu, but not if you go to the Administrative menu. Seems a tad inconsistent, but I am probably missing something obvious.

Thanks again. That will be a useful tool.

You can turn that off under vboptions > General Settings > Enable Inline Moderation Authentication > No.

I'm not sure why it is in one but not the other.
