Admin Secrity PIN

[Max Payne]

Where are the settings for Admin PIN located? Can't seem to find them anywhere.

There aren't. It is just the code in the config.php file.

I also had this problem the first time I installed 1.8.0!
You need to set it up when you create administrator account on the installation process or if you forget or you just want to change it any time,, go to inc/config.php file and edit it!

Wait a minute. Aren't we supposed to get a prompt for the pin during installation? I used an auto-installer. So, I didn't get to set one. How can I set it up?

^ auto-installer might not be perfect.
anyway, look for $config['secret_pin'] = ''; in the config.php file and modify as you like
eg. $config['secret_pin'] = '12345';

[Omar G.]

Weren't you prompted for one during installation? Or was it an update?

[Max Payne]

No update. I did a fresh install for a demo and was surprised to see no pin.

Did a fresh install yesterday for testing plugins etc before adding to main forum and was prompted to set up a pin when prompted for a administrator account during the install process.

All went as it should and pin there for log into the Admin CP now.

IIRC the prompt will only appear if the config.php is writable and secret_pin is not already there.
