Notes


Purpose of the mod

Adds a 'Generate' button next to the password field on the 'Add New User' page.

This mod applies to TNG 8.0.2 but should work with 8.0.0 and 8.0.1 too. With a minor change it should work with earlier versions too. I'll try to add a dedicated zip later.

Developer

This mod was developed by Bart 'Roebie' Degryse

Requirements

  • A working TNG installation. The automated installation release was tested on TNG Version 8.0.2.
  • A backup of your TNG admin_newuser.php file.
  • An installed current version of the Mod Manager.

Automated Installation

  1. Download the appropriate zip file as shown in the summary in the upper right corner of the page
  2. Extract the config file and the javascript file from the downloaded zip file into the mods folder
  3. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the password_generator_v8.1.0.cfg file.

In the event of a problem

  • Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
  • Or copy your backup of the admin_newuser.php file to your TNG directory

Visualization of this mod

The following images show the 'Add New User' page without and with the mod installed.

Side effects

As with most source code modifications, these changes will likely be overwritten during your next TNG revision upgrade and will need to be re-implemented. (Using the Mod Manager greatly simplifies this process).

Sites using this mod

Well, of course, my own. Since it's not public it's not really worth adding a link here though. Please add public TNG sites that you have found that utilize this modification!
