Re: Firefox And Its Dislike Of Autocomplete = "off&quot
-----------------------------------
Easier than you think ;)


I always used a mod (found on phpbbhacks.com) to fix that problem with straight phpBB, now I modified that mod to be applied in XS in a very simple way.

Here's the mod:

[spoiler] [code] ##############################################################
## MOD Title: Firefox Autocomplete Bypass
## MOD Author: Thoul < thoul@phpbbsmith.com > ( Jeremy Rogers ) http://www.phpbbsmith.com
## MOD Description:
##		Prevents Firefox's overwriting of username and password fields
##		in the admin user editor.
## MOD Version: 1.0.1
##
## Installation Level: Easy
## Installation Time: 3 Minutes
## Files To Edit:
##		admin/admin_users.php,
##		templates/subSilver/admin/user_edit_body.tpl
## Included Files: N/A
## License: contrib/license.txt GNU General Public License v2
##############################################################
## For security purposes, please check: http://www.phpbb.com/mods/
## for the latest version of this MOD. Although MODs are checked
## before being allowed in the MODs Database there is no guarantee
## that there are no security problems within the MOD. No support
## will be given for MODs not found within the MODs Database which

##############################################################
## Author Notes:
##
## This modification is not compatible with Categories Hierarchy. From my
## experience, it should not be needed when using Categories Hierarchy anyway,
## as that does not appear to be affected by Firefox's auto completion.

Instead of [b]admin/admin_users.php[/b] and [b]templates/subSilver/admin/user_edit_body.tpl[/b] just edit files [b][color=#00ff00]adm/admin_users.php[/color][/b] and [b][color=#00ff00]templates/ca_aphrodite(orwhatyougot)/admin/user_edit_body.tpl[/color][/b] 


Files are pretty the same, only search in a different directory and this will do the trick.


I tried with my own site and it works perfectly. What do you think MG, do you approve this solution?



Edit: Author Notes say that this mod is not compatible with CH which is implemented in XS. I never experienced any problems anyway, but thought it was a good thing to notice that ;)
