CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

Trying to get the simple "Forgot my password" function to work in FEU. For some reason, the email template is blank on the default instal. This is the case with a few Websites that I have in operation. Without anything there, users do not get an email.

So i tried some simple messages and tags in the template, and now the users get the email email. So far so good, just need to know what to put in there.

BUT, i don't know what the code or script that should go in the template.

I did find this script, which works, but seems to only reset the first user. So in other words, no matter who received this email, it links to the same user's account to reset their password:

"http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?mact= ... eturnid=64>

If I could figure out how to make the link recognize the current user's email address, I think i'm good. But, I have no idea what that variable is. Kind of odd that this template field would be blank by default.

For reference, here are my site specs:


CMS: 10.1.3
CGExtensions 1.28.1
CMSMailer 2.0.2
CustomContent 1.8.2 I
EventsListing 1.5
FileManager 1.2.0
FrontEndUsers 1.17.1
Linux site, MySQL, PHP 5

I'm pretty sure you mean CMSMS 1.10.3...

FEU email template...

<!-- forgot password email template -->
<p>{$message_forgotpwemail}</p>
<p>{$prompt_code}&nbsp;{$data_code}</p>
<p>{$prompt_link}&nbsp;{$data_link}<p>
<!-- forgot password email template -->

There is a button at the bottom to restore all forgot password template to Defaults...

Thanks a million Dr., your patient has survived


One little question, where so i find the text for the message under the tag {$message_forgotpwemail}? I thought it would be under tags, but it's not.

Just need to customize it a bit. Thanks!

Did you ever find this?

The {$message_forgotpwemail} text is coded in the lang. file for FEU, you can change it by removing that tag and putting your text in it's place, if you want to permanently change it you can do it 2 ways...

1) change it in the lang. file in the modules folder...
2) make a modules_custom folder with /modules_custom/FrontEndUsers/lang/en_US.php file in it that has that line changed to the text you want...

1) you will have to change it every time you upgrade the module...
2) will keep any changes you make even on upgrade of the module...

Thanks Dr.CSS!
