You can't use direct links to login any more. It's a new security feature. You must submit the login form each time.

Too bad.

If there are no bypass, I have to revert to the previous version then…

See this http://manual.b2evolution.net/Crumbs

I'm sorry, I don't see how implementing crumbs could help me!

I just wanted to say that it's a very important security feature, you can't disable it and there's no workaround.

Where are you using that kind of links with passwords?

Well, my blog is essentially for internal matters. No one is supposed to access from outside!

I've set all browsers in my company to open up with our blog, so everybody gets the fresher news as soon as they arrive. But as it is only internal, I don't really want them to connect using a login and a password, so I've just modified the homepage of the browsers to point to the blog. It was quite OK putting the login and password in the URL…

You can easily autologin any visitor with a plugin.
I'll post you an example if you want.

With pleasure !

- save this code as _my.plugin.php
- change guest user login
- put the file in /plugins directory
- install new plugin and enjoy :)

Use this link to auto login

yourblog.tld/index.php?autologin=true

<?php
/**
 * My plugin description
 */
if( !defined('EVO_MAIN_INIT') ) die( 'Please, do not access this page directly.' );


class my_plugin extends Plugin
{
	var $name = 'My first plugin';
	var $code = 'myplugincode';
	var $priority = 50;
	var $version = '0.0.1';


	function PluginInit( & $params )
	{
		$this->short_desc = $this->T_('My first plugin');
		$this->long_desc = $this->T_('A longer description for my first plugin');
	}


	function SessionLoaded()
	{
		global $Session, $UserSettings;

		if( param('autologin', 'boolean') )
		{	// Proceed only if requested [ /index.php?autologin=true ]
			if( ! $Session->has_User() )
			{
				load_class( 'users/model/_usersettings.class.php', 'UserSettings' );
				$UserSettings = new UserSettings();

				// Authenticate the visitor as user with login "admin"
				// WARNING: You should create a basic user and use its login here instead!!!
				$UserCache = & get_UserCache();
				if( $guest_User = & $UserCache->get_by_login('admin') )
				{
					$Session->set_User( $guest_User );
					$this->msg('You have been authenticated as user "admin"!');
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
