At supposedly 299 posts for quite a while…
WordPress says in the back that I’m at post 299 – and it has said so for a while, even as I add posts. Apparently it just won’t give me that nice 300.
In other news, my plane was delayed because the Prime Minister said so. Hmm.
In other other news, Jen said she dreamed about a Volunteer who bought an elephant for business purposes but she was criticizing them for it being an unsustainable venture (as they didn’t consider the cost of keeping it fed, etc.). Blame the excess pumpkin pie…

I’m trying to use Elgg db with your external db auth plugin. But it seems Elgg is using MD5+salt, and I need to input some php code under “Other.” However, I have no idea what to put, and where I should look to find that PHP code… If application is using MD5+sald, how does it normally look in PHP?

Hey Takuya,
You would likely need to look in the Elgg source code – a good place to start is their login function, or to search using grep or wingrep for “md5″ as that’s the PHP function. Most times the salt can be a variant on other data inputted, such as username or something. If it’s not a typical user data field that is pulled from within the plugin, it may be a bit hard to get the code to work unless you modify the plugin or add extra lines. Let me know if you find out more though, and I hope that helps.
