Forgotten
Password- Part 3-
Automatically Send Users their Passwords via Email upon request if
it has been forgotten |
Note: I have a question for you. Where is our Jmail code? Right, it
is in our forgotpassword1.asp page. Why not play around with the email
message in the code to adjust it a bit for this situation. I made
some changes to the body text of the email. My Jmail for this page
is as such: (notice bolds)
<%
Set JMail = Server.CreateObject("JMail.SMTPMail")
JMail.ServerAddress = "mail.yourwebsite.com:25"
JMail.ContentType = "text/html"
JMail.Sender = "x@yourwebsite.com"
JMail.SenderName = "UDnewbie"
JMail.Subject = "Account Password"
JMail.AddRecipient strRecipient
JMail.Body = "<font face='verdana' size ='3'>"
&_
"Ahlan!" & strFirstName & " " &
strLastName &_
"<br><br>" &_
"This Email Notification comes to you from Udnewbie.com.
" &_
"<br>" &_
"Here is the information you requested:" &_
"<p>" &_
"Username:" & strUserName &_
"<br>" &_
"Password:" & strPassword &_
"<p>" &_
"Visit <a href='http://www.UDnewbie.com'>http://www.UDnewbie.com</a>
for more UltraDev tutorials" &_
"<p>" &_
"Regards," &_
"<br>" &_
"Omar Elbaga" &_
"<br>" &_
"UDnewbie.com" &_
"</font>"
JMail.AddHeader "Originating-IP",
Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
JMail.Execute
%>

Step 5:
- We just want to make that page that the person is redirected to
if the UserName isn't registered.
- Make a new page and type something like:
Sorry but the User Name you entered was either spelled incorrectly
or has never been registered.
Put whatever message you want informing the person of the error.
It would be nice of you to put a link on this page to go back to the
previous page and the register page.
- Save this page As forgotpasswordfailed.asp and upload it.
Name it whatever you like just make sure you redirected appropriately
to the name of your page when you were working on the forgotpassword1.asp
page.
That's it! Now our users can get their password sent to them automatically
if they ever forget it.
Go eat something and drink lots of water. i know you've been working
hard. You might need some gatorade! |

Page layout of Tutorial
Hi all,
i like to print out these tutorials as I find it helps me do things step by step, but while printing out these pages things are not formated correctly, ie text on the right ends up overlapping some of the tutorial, and sometimes the page is cut between important lines. can something be done about this .
Super regards
ah ha
RE: Page layout of Tutorial
Hi,
is that only this tutorial or all tutorials generally on udzone that you are having problems printing with?
RE: Page layout of Tutorial
Very convoluted
I've just worked through this tutorial; it does exactly what it says on the tin, but its very convoluted; I had to jump to several other pages (for example, to find out what JMail was). It assumes that you are working through a series of tutorials in order; most people (like me) won't..they'll have a single problem, and want a single solution.
Other than that, well done!
