Name: Identity Hash
Author: Robert Castelo <services at cortextcommunications dot com>
Drupal: 4.6
********************************************************************
DESCRIPTION:

This is a component module for use by other modules.

A hash looks something like this 'g74sd9hy3', and can be used to
identify a user without using their username password or uid.

The hash could be used in a link included in an email or RSS feed, so
that when the link is clicked, Drupal will know the identity of the user.

INSTALLATION:

Note: It is assumed that you have Drupal up and running.  Be sure to
check the Drupal web site if you need assistance.  If you run into
problems, you should always read the INSTALL.txt that comes with the
Drupal package and read the online documentation.

:Preparing for Installation:

Note: Backing up your database is a very good idea before you begin!

1. Place the entire identity_hash directory into your Drupal modules/
   directory.

2. Load the database definition file (identity_hash.mysql) using the
   tool of your choice (e.g. phpmyadmin). For mysql and command line
   access use:

     mysql -u user -p drupal < identity_hash.mysql

   Replace 'user' with the MySQL username, and 'drupal' with the
   database being used.

3. Enable the identity_hash module by navigating to:

     administer > modules

   Make sure the 'Enabled' box is checked next to the identity_hash module

   Click the 'Save configuration' button at the bottom to commit your
   changes.
