"Incorrect username or password" upon login

muc3004 13 Apr, 2008
Hi, I have set up my own registration form with ChronoForms.
It completely works to register a new user, activation email and activation process works fine, too.
The new user also is visible in the backend userlist.

But when I try to log in with the new username and password, I always get a popup saying:
"Incorrect Username or Password"

Once I click on "password lost", I get an email with the new generated password. The log in then works with that PW...

Anyone an idea???

Thanks!

Hi muc3004,

I guess you have Joomla 1.0.13 or earlier, or I mean J1.0 but not the latest release or even 1.0.14, right ?

If yes then we discovered this bug recently, the plugin is wrote to work with the new password system, and so the older joomal version fails to let the user login, please open the plugin and comment this line :


$row->password		= $crypt.':'.$salt;


Cheers

Hi Max,

thanks a lot for your help. I didn't really know, what you meant with "comment" the specific line. I did find it though.

Anyway - in fact, I had an 1.0.12 version installed and I simply patched it to 1.0.15 - and it's working perfectly now!

Thanks again! I'm still "playing around" and testing, but once my site is finished, I will get a chrono licence!
