SOLVED: Also Having Lost Password problems.

WOW, you're still in trouble with the lost password function?

Very strange. If you use the latest maincore.php and lostpassword.php this should work. Anybody else having trouble with the lost password and v6.01.11? It's working great (after Digi fixed it) for me, no problem what so ever. Very very strange indeed. Need to look into that one more time then.

//Edit: compared these two files in v6.01.11 Update and the full v6.01.11 package, and they are identical. And they're the same as I use, with no problems with the lost passwords retrieval.

Wierd.

The v6.01.11 was the full that I downloaded just last night so I would have thought that it was the very latest.

I got it from the downloads page so I guess we are talking the same files.

The v10 site I have not applied any updates, it is how it came as the full download about 4 weeks ago.

The test version 11 is aliased to my main host at the moment, but if you want to be able to ftp it, I have another hosting account that isn't being used at the moment, I can put another copy in there for a few days and pm the ftp dets to you if you think that will help.

Also, if you want to go into admin at guruwari.com, set up an account and I will give it full permissions. Perhaps I am doing something silly in there. Bit harder to do with the other one as it is a full working site.

Zip the files maincore.php and lostpassword.php and attach them here, i'll verify they are correct.

Hi Digitanium

Here are the files

Thanks.

Where?:)

Would not let me attach the zip file for some reason.

Have emailed them to you.

Here's the original topic in case you're interested.

Ta.
Been right through that one.

Have applied the suggested lostpassword.php file, to no effect.

Also tried the mod in maincore.php.

That made it worse by not even applying the password change.

The guruwari site as it stands is the current version 11 download with the postpassword.php file changed (did try without first) but the maincore.php intact.

Hi Digi.

did you get those files?

The 6.01.11 package was change a couple of times without having the version number changed. Maybe you have an outdated download?

Do the following:

Delete maincore.php and lostpassword.php from your site.

Download a fresh copy of "PHPFusion 6.01.11 Update for 6.01.10" and upload maincore.php and lostpassword.php from that package.

Hi WEC.

Just uploaded the 2 files from the upgrade and still doing the same thing.

I downloaded the original version 11 just 4 days ago, so you would think that it is the latest.

It is on a test site at www.guruwari.com. Feel free to go there and muck around with it.

Try this and see what you think.

Create a new member.

Go through the usual steps of confirming and logging in.

Log out and hit forgot password.

When you get the email sending you back to the site, go there and try to log in with your old password (you won't have a new one anyway).

You will be given the invalid username/password message.

Now this is when the next email with the new password will be generated and sent to you. It appears that you need to try to log in before the correct email is generated.

Check your emails and the proper email with the new password will be there.

You will now be able to log in with the new password.

If Digi or 1 of the senior mods need to go into admin, let me know and I will pm the access.

I can work around it by combining the password statement in with the first email sent (locale 400 from memory), but this is only a work around and does not fix the problem.

Have had a pretty good look around but I am by no means an expert.

It is only a fairly minor thing but it is bugging some of my customers and I need to upgrade another 3 sites but am a bit apprehensive at the moment til this is sorted.

Thanks.

I just did a test registration and request of lost password at your site.

Everything worked as intended.

Make sure that your e-mail software doesn't break up the url in your email.

Thanks WEC.

Cleared my cache and now it is working ok.

I am going to make a slight change to the information text on the page and the email so that the process is a bit clearer on what is happening.

Thanks all for your assistance.

Mark.
