Classifieds 2.11 standalone - lost password problem

rastacat · March 8th, 2005, 10:06 AM

A request:

Is anyone else running a similar version of this program using "sellerspost" as the registration system?

I would appreciate you letting me know if your's works for lost passwords. I've sent in tickets but understand they are busy and this may be an odd problem.

My ads will not allow anyone to retrieve a lost password. It keeps sending them in loops and there is no way to recover a password. A user will have to be deleted and setup if they lose the password.

-----------------
Forgot password?
It's possible to enter a registered email address and the program says to "check your email for instructions".

Email comes in fine, but clicking the link gives the error:

"The new password field does not match the confirmation field"

Thanks. A PM is fine or reply here. It's appreciated.

I'm using the program for a community auction for minor hockey and am dreading someone losing their password.

Interesting.....

I just recently had this program installed and the password was not given me when the installation was done. "No problem", I thought. I would just have the system password reminder send it to me.

Ding dong! Now I am locked out completely. I got the email message, but when I clicked on the link, I got that same error message.

Has this problem been fixed? If not then this will be an unacceptable condition for me to turn over to users. I really don't want to be forever having to manually set passwords for users.

Any word on this problem?

Can you PM me the email which was sent to you so I can check the verifyfield variable?

Chuck S · March 16th, 2005, 08:52 AM

The issue is the in member.php the call to generate the new pass recalls the verify email letter and not the epassnew letter body

Michael P · March 16th, 2005, 08:59 AM

I've updated languages/english/emails.php:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

then line 98 in member.php to:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

OK. It looks like Chuck fixed this on my system. Thanks, Chuck!

Now another question. Maybe I am blind, but I created a user account and am looking for the link in my profile that I would use to change my password. Can someone point this out to me, please?

When logged in as Admin, I still don't see that link in case someone asks me to change their password for them.

Thanks Rich.
the change password was my concern. there appears to be no way to change a user's password .... and no way for them to reset it. They had to sign up again with a new name which didn't work with an auction, esp if they already bid.

I added the changes listed above but if a user requests a lost password it says to 'check your email' for instructions: and when it arrives, clicking the link presents them with:
"your password field does not match the confirmation field"

It always seem to show the user id of 0 no matter which user asks for the reset.
member.php?ppaction=rpwd&uid=0&verifykey=1111090904

I solved it by turning my ads off rather than deal with frustrated users.

Are you guys working on this SERIOUS problem.....or did I just throw my hard earned money away? I have had nothing but problems with this ...

Chuck S · April 14th, 2005, 04:12 PM

I show the current download has this fixed

deepsand · April 14th, 2005, 04:21 PM

I paid for this and dowloaded it yesterday....so it's obiously not....what do I do?

Chuck S · April 14th, 2005, 04:27 PM

I just downloaded the software and the change Michael noted is indeed in there

deepsand · April 14th, 2005, 04:35 PM

thats strange...so the fix was uploaded this morning?

Chuck S · April 14th, 2005, 05:03 PM

Not that I am aware of.

rastacat · April 14th, 2005, 08:07 PM

As I mentioned in my reply a month ago, the fix posted never solved the lost password problem for users.

It was still not working so I removed the program.

Chuck S · April 14th, 2005, 09:08 PM

Then you did not edit something correctly as Rich stated his system was fixed and the developer posted the correct fix here and it works and our script was updated to reflect the change.

deepsand · April 18th, 2005, 12:45 PM

I'm not trying to be smart here but , I think you guys need to do your own fresh install of the package before you tell us that we are wrong...it is not fixed....

Chuck S · April 21st, 2005, 07:26 AM

In emails.php line 147

{$Globals['maindir']}/member.php?ppaction=rpwd&uid={$uid}&verifykey={$joindate}

change to

{$Globals['maindir']}/member.php?ppaction=rpwd&uid={$dbuid}&verifykey={$joindate}
