Disable security code?

Is there a way to disable the security code so users dont have to use it everytime they log in?

Thanks

In version 6.9, yes. Read the documentation in the config.php file. This setting
$gfx_chk = 7;
can be changed to any of these
0: No check
1: Administrators login only
2: Users login only
3: New users registration only
4: Both, users login and new users registration only
5: Administrators and users login only
6: Administrators and new users registration only
7: Everywhere on all login options (Admins and Users)

That code is in the stock 6.9 release. Where did you get your 6.9 upgrade from? Don't say here, because it's in mine Laughing

Good morning Raven:

I performed (i think correctly), the upgrade to 6.9 and the config.php seems to have not changed at all. When doing the upgrade, no errors appear. All seemed to go good. I just didnt see the code that needed to be cjanged to get rid of the security code.

PS: The 6.9 was downloaded from this site.

When you say upgrade, are you looking in the file config.php? You replaced all of your files with the files from the download? Because if you look in the config.php file from the download that code is there. If, by upgrade, you mean you ran the upgrade file, that only updates the database, not any of the files.

I ran the 6.x upgrade file as well as the upgrade to 205 file

That's your problem. You have to replace ALL of your files with all of the files in the html folder. You have only updated the database.

How do i do that without losing all my settings/links to all the blocks/modules i installed?

That is the joy of upgrading! What I do is I clone my site database. I then install a clean installation of the files. I run the upgrade script to upgrade the database. Then the tedious job of reapplying all customization begins.

Thanks Raven. I totally re installed (almost) everything and changed the install directory:
