VuFind

Exactly how is it failing?  Does the login box pop up repeatedly and eventually give you a 403 forbidden error?  If so, perhaps you should try reloading the default .htpasswd file from here:

https://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/trunk/web/services/Admin/.htpasswd

I've just tested that on my own Ubuntu system, and I'm able to get in with "admin / admin".  You might also want to make sure that your httpd-vufind.conf Apache configuration is pointing to the correct .htpasswd file, though if you're using the default configuration, it should be.

Is the problem that you are getting an error message about the admin module being disabled?  In this case, make sure that the "admin_enabled" setting in the [Site] section of web/conf/config.ini is set to true.

I hope this is helpful.  If you're still stuck, let us know any other clues you can think of and we'll see if we can make more suggestions!

Hey Demian,

module was enabled in config.ini, and you were right it was the repeated pop
up window with the 403 forbidden error. Now I figured it out: as I copied
the decrypted output from the htpasswd command from the shell and put it
into the .htpasswd file, it suddenly worked. thanks for your help! 

I somehow expected more from the admin module. for example: I am looking for
the possibility to set only one standard language and comment out the
language dropdown menu or how to remove the sms notification from the record
view? Shall I open a new thread with it?

greetings,

Christian

The admin module is definitely not the best way to customize VuFind; in fact, I expect that the module will go away (or at least change dramatically) at some point in the future, since the security risks of allowing web-based configuration outweigh the benefits, and nobody seems to have time to keep the module up to date with VuFind's many configurable options anyway.  For better or worse, the best way to customize VuFind is to edit .ini files and templates.  Fortunately, this process isn't too painful, and we're here to help if you have problems!

To answer your two specific questions:

1.) If you just want one standard language, edit web/conf/config.ini and comment out all the languages you do not want.  Make sure the language setting in the [Site] section matches the one language that remains.

2.) The SMS option is not currently configurable via .ini files -- to disable it, you'll have to customize the Record/view.tpl template within your chosen theme.  The line you need to delete should be fairly easy to find.  If you haven't already, you might find this Wiki page helpful when customizing themes:

I hope this is helpful -- let me know if you have more questions!
