If I want to enable security code for login page,Where should I do this?

By the way , I think it would be useful if you put this option on admin menu.

i believe you enable it in the common.asp file. if not there it would be in the login_user.asp file.

this feature will have probbs been put into the admin area in V8 .. it isn't in V7.x because it was added after V7.1 ... and when out of beta you try not to edit the database because it means a lot of work and errors for the users.

thanks for your help . it was on common.asp line 154 :

blnLongSecurityCode = false

(Dim blnLongSecurityCode 'Set to true if the security code feature is required when logging in)

I made the change to common file and the security code appeared on login page ...

but I get this message :

"Sorry, the Security Code entered did not match that displayed. A new Security Code has been generated. Please ensure that cookies are enabled on your browser."

The cookies are ok and I have no problem with security code on admin page login.

Has anyone tested the security codes on login page?

I think I did nothing wrong but its just not working!

Security code for the login use to be enabled by default but after lots of complaits it is now disabled by default.

It should work without any problems, authentication errors usually suggest problems with the server resetting the ASP session.

but I have no problem with security confirmation on admin login page and on register page . they work well .

users just get the error on login page !

if the problem was from server resetting the ASP session , it should allso affect on register page to .

the only changes I made to enable security code on login page is that I changed line 154 on common file to this :

blnLongSecurityCode = true

The login page was changed at one point so the security code on the login page may no longer work and is not supported at the present time.

I've just tested it on the latest version and the security code for the login page is working fine.

Try reuploading the files again as it could be a corrupted file.
