I have been playing around with FrontEndUsers 1.0 for a while now. It was kind of difficult to understand how it works and I did a bunch of extra-work because I did not know that a translation of the module existed in the translation project.
However, there are several issues I had with the module, probably the most severe is that a frontend user can not change the password. It always says "invalid password". It seems there is a problem with the function but I could not figure out what it is.
The error-handling could be improved, because I only get one error even though there might be more. Then the error-message is too far away from the field that it refers to. And last but not least the HTML is sometimes 4.01 instead of XHTML 1.x and uses font-tags instead of CSS styled content.
I will send the modified files to calguy along with my templates. Maybe the revisions are useful for the next release.
However I hope someone can help me with the lost password thing ... I get to the page where I can enter the code (it is already filled in) and my username is filled in. When I enter the password and the password-repeat I always get errors - no matter what I change.
Ah, by the way: Users that applied for a password change can be deleted, no matter what button I click on in the admin-panel. ;o)

Nils

Re: FrontEndUsers 1.0
I'll check the lost password thing for the upcoming 1.0.4 release.

Re: FrontEndUsers 1.0
That would be great because things got even worse: Right now I can't add nore modify users. However, if I do it right in the database itself then I can edit them in the admin-panel again.

Re: FrontEndUsers 1.0
BTW, you should be able to get feusers 1.0.1 working in 0.11.2, or even the latest svn snapshot. I've taken out the requirement for the 0.12 series.

Re: FrontEndUsers 1.0
Nils, testing the svn version did not reproduce your "user cannot change password" issue. did you by any chance create a property entitled "password", when defining your properties. If you did, that would be your problem.

Re: FrontEndUsers 1.0
I had a quick look and these are the properties I have created:
vorname
(text-field, required)
e-mail
(E-Mail, required)
So this shouldn't be the problem. However I will give 1.01 a shot.

Re: FrontEndUsers 1.0
I have just installed 1.04 of FrontEndUsers ... same problem. Maybe I should uninstall all of it (including mysql entries) and try once again. Maybe something happened that can not be reproduced. Will try that later this weekend.

Re: FrontEndUsers 1.0
Now that I have uninstalled all modules that have dependencies (FrontEndUsers, CustomContent and CMSMailer) and re-installed and re-configured them, everything works fine. I think it strange and it kind of reminds me of Windows95 --- so maybe it's not a bug but a feature. ;o)
Actually I would have needed to upgrade all of the modules anyhow. Don't worry anymore and thanks for the great support and for the quick help.
