Re: Help with getting account files to a txt

Add this somewhere in edituser.php - "saveuser" clause (after the error checking would be best)

//Filename should point a writeable file on the webserver
$file = fopen($filename, 'a');
$content = "[".$xoopsUser->getVar('uname')."]n";
$content .= "PASSWORD=".$password; 
fwrite($file, $content);
fclose($file);


Several concerns, though: If the file you write to is not protected and is accessible from the web, anyone can read the passwords of your users = not good.

Preferably the file is placed outside the web root, but since it will be read by the game server, this may not be feasible.

Quote:

$place='c:\\blahblah';
$fd = fopen ($place, "a+");
fwrite ($fd,"\n[". $xoopsUser->getVar('uname') ."]\n");
fwrite ($fd,"PASSWORD=" . $pass . "\n");
fwrite ($fd,"\n");
fclose($fd);

it works now but my only problem is when a user edit his profile but don't change his password his game password is becoming blank and his game account can be easly hacked by other users how can i fix it?

Quote:
This is your first time to enter the administration section. Press the button below to proceed.
submit cancel

but it isn't i've logged in the administration menu 24651358 times before and that was working.

Also i have another problem with the edituser.php i have two different servers and wnat to make txt creation for two different files i've tried this one Quote:

if (isset($pass) && $pass != ""){
//Fist one working ==> This is working.
$yerio='c:\\blahblah\\blahblah.txt';
$ft = fopen ($yerio, "a+");
fwrite ($ft,"\n[". $xoopsUser->getVar('uname') ."]\n");
fwrite ($ft,"PASSWORD=" . $pass . "\n");
fwrite ($ft,"\n");
fclose($ft);
}
//This one is not Damn it !
$yeri='c:\\a.txt';
$fd = fopen ($yeri, "a+");
fwrite ($fd,"\n[". $xoopsUser->getVar('uname') ."]\n");
fwrite ($fd,"PASSWORD=" . $pass . "\n");
fwrite ($fd,"\n");
fclose($fd);

Re: Help with getting account files to a txt

For administration menu loop - check if a software firewall is blocking your HTTP referrer and that the cache folder is writeable by the server.

Likewise with the text files, they must be placed in folders writeable by the server.

This thread solved half of my problem which can be seen in this thread, but still i'm in need of an register.php hack.

With the only edituser.php hack, site users should change their password once to make their game account to be activated. But with the register.php hack, whenever a user registers to site, he/she also will be registered to game with an (auto)activated account and whenever he/she edits his/her user info (password), his/her game password will be synchronized with the one in sites database...phew..

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
