have to input username and password twice in control panel page

[adrianmak]

To minimize secuity break on vb2, I use .htaccess to protect the vb2 admin control page. I use mod_auth_mysql to verify username and password shared with vB2 user account. For those admin members in admin group are allowed to enter the admin page.

My question is, all admin group members are required to enter username and password twice. So Is it possible or how to directly enter the control panel after the first authentication is passed (ie skip the logon page of vb2)

I think you should remove everything from

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 and $checkpwd) {

  cpheader("<title>Forums admin</title>");
?><br><br><br>
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tblborder" align="center" width="450"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"> 

to

<p align="center"><font size="1">vBulletin v<?php echo $templateversion ?> Administrator Control Panel</font></p>
<?php
  cpfooter();
  exit;
}

And that's it. Try and tell me if you made it.

which file or template should I find these coding ?

[Chen]

global.php under your admin folder.

In fact, an official method of doing this exists as well. Find this line in admin/global.php:

$checkpwd=1; 

It's in line 154 on my copy but it might be slightly different on yours.

Then replace it with:

$checkpwd=0; 

That should do the trick

JamesUS,

It works. But I found that using this method, I cannot modification any templates. I put some new code in the template and then submit. check it back nothing done
