About Passwords Stored In the DB
Hi
Just writing a quick addition to one of the front end sections to stop content showing if user is not logged in. Quick question for the new login form, how are the passwords in the database made up? Do they go through an MD5 hash? I need to know so I can create a new login routine

Hello! Have you considered the ign_password_protect plugin? If so, I’m curious to know: why have you’ve chosen not to use it?

Also, there is rvm_privileged, but it lacks some kind of “frond-end login form”.
It works for users logged on the back-end. You may think this isn’t ideal, because you may want to have registered users that can’t access the back-end. But then, you can create users with no privileges at all. They are just users on TXP database, but they can access any tab on the admin side.
But, again, by now, the only way for them to log-in is on /textpattern/.
Maybe rvm_privileged and ign_password_protect can be used at the same time, but then, it could make no sense at all to have both.
