Bypassing the Orchid Login Page
Monday, November 24, 2008
I got the great idea to jazz up the
login page to my Orchid-based website. Of
course I managed to trash the template while
doing this. So I couldn't even log in to fix
it! The help desk got me back up in no time -
but is there any way I could have fixed this
myself without embarrassing myself by calling
for help?
Yes - you can bypass the login page completely by passing your credentials in the URL.
The URL looks like this:
http://mywebsite.org/ht/a/LoginAction/username/myusername/password/mypassword/display/SiteManager
where you substitute the proper values for mywebsite, myusername, and mypassword.
Then just go back to the login template and fix it. You can always revert to an earlier version if you cannot find your error.
