DESCRIPTION:
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
This is a component module for use by other modules.
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
A hash looks something like this 'g74sd9hy3', and can be used to
|
| 13 |
identify a user without using their username password or uid.
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The hash could be used in a link included in an email or RSS feed, so
|
| 16 |
that when the link is clicked, Drupal will know the identity of the user.

Note: It is assumed that you have Drupal up and running. Be sure to
|
| 25 |
check the Drupal web site if you need assistance. If you run into
|
| 26 |
problems, you should always read the INSTALL.txt that comes with the
|
| 27 |
Drupal package and read the online documentation.

:Preparing for Installation:
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Note: Backing up your database is a very good idea before you begin!
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
1. Place the entire identity_hash directory into your Drupal modules/
|
| 34 |
directory.
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
2. Load the database definition file (identity_hash.mysql) using the
|
| 37 |
tool of your choice (e.g. phpmyadmin). For mysql and command line
|
| 38 |
access use:
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
mysql -u user -p drupal < identity_hash.mysql
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Replace 'user' with the MySQL username, and 'drupal' with the
|
| 43 |
database being used.
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
3. Enable the identity_hash module by navigating to:
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
administer > modules
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Make sure the 'Enabled' box is checked next to the identity_hash module
|
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Click the 'Save configuration' button at the bottom to commit your
|
| 52 |
changes.
