Is there any reason, other than me possibly doing something I should not have done, for IPBlocker special login....
Just upgraded/new install v1.5.3 with IP blocker v2.1.1
to redirect to
Boy, it didn't take the gremlins long to find the special_login.php file either
IP Blocker enabled
Login Lockout Count: 5
Password changed to 24 random characters
There are no log files in the logs folder.
The redirect to the index page occurs if the IPv4 address associated with the current session is (a) not in the blocked list or (b) in the passed list or (c) has correctly entered the "special" password.
Thank you.
It is obvious that I didn't understand how things work.
Are there known issues getting this to work. Once I started integrating the admin files, i lost access to the admin panel and was unable to login. therefore i had to remove those files. now i can login again. any ideas?
When this file (config.ip_blocker_admin.php) gets copied into the admin/includes/auto_loaders folder, I lose the ability to be able to login to the admin panel.Quote:

All other files are copied in the appropriate directories as far as I can tell.
Suggest providing more information. Ie. Zc version, where files were placed, process used to "install" ie. Placed files then did the following and then lost access.. Etc.Quote:

Process used to install? I am simply uploading the files in the required folders following the directory of the ip_blocker folder, folders, and files within the folders.
Ok this file (special_login.php) must be in the admin folder for everything else to work. I just figured that out. I had it in my domain folder. I did that because if you unzip and extract the files, 5 files remain outside of the YOUR_ADMIN folder. It is one of them. I'm guessing all of those files need to go in the admin folder?Quote:

The file special_login.php must be in your store's root directory, not the admin folder, for this plugin to work properly. It is one of four (4), not five, files in the plugin's distribution that are not placed in the admin folder.Quote:

I see. That's interesting. Can you give me a example of the file structure you're referring to?Quote:
