Description

A password at lesson settings page is not visible if a teacher opens the settings page later again.

Better solution would be to use a hide/view option and to show that a Password is set by points. Such a function is available for the keyword at course settings page.

Big problem here is that the password is hashed in the database, so it cannot be printed in plain text. This turned out to be a bad idea and I'm not sure how to go about resolving it without breaking previous passwords. Any ideas?

Password is now visible in lesson versions newer than today (version 2008112600). Compatibility with the old md5 passwords is retained.

Hi Howard,

the version date in HEAD is older than the one in 1.9Stable so this patch breaks upgrades - can you merge these changes into HEAD please?

thanks!

Cool... is that version thing in the developer docs somewhere? I didn't know. Coding guidelines?

EDIT.... mind you. It's kind of obvious when you think about it for a couple of minutes :-D

Howard, I think you need to trim() the $userpassword in the non-md5 case too.
