Lost Password - only require e-mail

16 years 2 months ago #53820 by Toffe
There used to be a hack to make it possible to only enter your e-mail adress if you forget your login (people rarely remembers both username and email)

How do I fix this in CB 1.1?

Kind regards
Chris.

I agree, this is killer problem for my community.
NOBODY remembers their username, they have no idea.
They only remember their email address.

I get countless queries in email asking for reset, or duplicate members who sign up again with a new ID.

Does CB 1.2 handle this case? to only enter e-mail adress if you forget the password?
If not, is there any hack or hint available?
Thank you very much,

This is a requirement of Joomla, not CB. I did find a thread that may help you on the Joomla forums. Use this with caution, because hacks usually affect other funcctions in other extensions... maybe even CB.

Thank you Rapunzl.

On your suggested thread I have read that in Joomla 1.5 they have addressed this problem with verification token. Very good.
Hopefully CB will too.

What I will do is to disable the Lost Password link on the CBlogin module and modify the CBlogin template to show a link to the Reset Password page of Joomla 1.5.

Is there any problem on using this mix of CB/Joomla functionality?

I tried it and seems to work. Any disadvantage?
