* Fix: WP UID 1 wrong password on reset

If you want to update to fix the uid 1 loop on page-forum just looking what into overall_footer.html code changed, follow this link: https://www.axew3.com/w3/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5175#p5175
* Fix: function create_phpBB_user() to not follow on create the user if email or username already exists into phpBB, so to avoid an error in certain cases
* Fix: WP and MUMS under several aspects and errors messages
* Revert: MUMS to allow users coming from phpBB that need to be inserted into WordPress, to be accepted only if usernames are in the pattern range 0-9A-Za-z
* Fix: minor (but important) fixes

To manually update the overall_footer.html javascript code, and fix the WP user ID 1 loop on page forum, steps are these:

where:

Code: Select all

var w3boardU = "{BOARD_URL}";
Just after ADD:

Code: Select all

var w3uid = "{U_USER_PROFILE}".split("u=");
var w3uidck = 0;
 if( typeof w3uid[1] != 'undefined' ){
  w3uidck = w3uid[1];
 }
where:

Code: Select all

var w3appendevents = '#w3all_phpbbpmcount=' + pmn + '#w3all_phpbb_u_logged=' + w3all_phpbb_u_logged + '#w3all_lochash=' + w3all_lochash;
change into:

Code: Select all

var w3appendevents = '#w3all_phpbbpmcount=' + pmn + '#w3all_phpbb_u_logged=' + w3all_phpbb_u_logged + '#w3all_lochash=' + w3all_lochash + '#w3all_uidck=' + w3uidck;
this is required to fix the WordPress uid 1 loop into page-forum, that also need to be so updated to latest: if not interested on fix it, just do not apply. if you apply, remember that you have to recompile phpBB template to make changes take effect
