You can't install a umil installer with out being login.

But here is a simple work around.

Make sure you add the edits back before you go live with your board..
This will create a huge whole in phpbb security!!

OPEN: umil/umil_auto.php

FIND: Delete or Comment Out

Code: Select all

    // Display a login box if they are not logged in
    if (!$user->data['is_registered'])
    {
       login_box();
    }

FIND: Delete or Comment Out

Code: Select all

    // Check after initiating UMIL.
    if ($user->data['user_type'] != USER_FOUNDER)
    {
       trigger_error('FOUNDERS_ONLY');
    }
Now you can install a UMIL installer with out being logged in!!

I once installed a mod and after which I could not login....
With out being logged in I was unable to uninstall it.

With this I was able to uninstall the mod..

I know I'm not the only person that has had this problem...

This will help you if you ever come across this issue...

i would guess delete them........ it wont be an issue if you log out first...

Like I said I used this a few times when I installed a mod and it wouldn't let me login
so if your testing this make sure you are logged out....
