De-Salt md5 password?

Post by [Hellion] » Wed Mar 12, 2008 2:04 pm

Hi :)

kinda new to this but here goes..
im using joomla1.5.1 previously 1.0.xx
in previous version -1.0.12 my module works fine but since $salt was introduced it doesnt work no more
i figured its time to upgrade joomla and address this problem

my questions are

1. how do you "De-salt" passwords to get them back to there original md5 hash
the module im creating needs to send the md5 password to an external source for authendication
but im having problems with the added :$salt

2. global emulation, im my previous install i had this enabled,
how do i pass information from a db query to my form in joomla 1.5
in my module the values are blank when the form is loaded..


ive tried the joomla 1.5 tutorials but the links are not working (cant allocate memory) from the server...
please remember im very new to this so please explain in as much detail as possible
any help would be appriciated :)
