Lost Password Email

Post by mkeith1 » Thu May 01, 2008 2:40 pm

I'm trying to fix the link below which is sent to the customer in the lost password email:

http://www.musicmart.comPasswordHelp.as ... 7i2Se0zb2G

how do i put a / between .com and Password?

Could somebody visit my site http://www.musicmart.com and create an account then click on the lost password link on the account page i think, and have an email sent to you. You'll see what i mean.

Add a trailing slash to your "Store URL" in "Configure", "Store"

Any help on configuring the lost password email to send the link for a lost password would be appreciated. currently the email which is sent says this:

We received a request to reset the password associated with this email address. If you made this request, please follow the instructions below.

If you did not request to have your password reset, you can safely ignore this email. We assure you that your customer account is safe.

Click the link below to reset your password:

${resetPasswordLink}

If clicking the link doesn't work, you can copy and paste the link into your browser's address window, or retype it there. Once you have returned to Music Mart, we will give you instructions for resetting your password.

Thank you for visiting Music Mart!

the reset password link reference is this:

http://www.musicmart.com/$%7BresetPasswordLink%7D

which doesn't go any where of course.

Here is the original paragraph of that email template for comparison. Perhaps you can find a difference between yours and mine to resolve the issue you are having.

Code: Select all

<p>We received a request to reset the password associated with this email address.
If you made this request, please follow the instructions below. </p>
<p>If you did not request to have your password reset, you can safely ignore
this email. We assure you that your customer account is safe. </p>
<p><strong>Click the link below to reset your password:</strong></p>
<p>		  <a href="${resetPasswordLink}">${resetPasswordLink}</a>	</p>
<p>If clicking the link doesn't  work, you can copy and paste the link
into your browser's address window, or retype it there. Once you have
returned to $store.Name,
we will give you instructions for resetting your password. </p>
<p><strong>Thank you for visiting $store.Name!</strong><br>
<a href="${store.StoreUrl}"><strong>$store.Name</strong></a></p>

I am having the same problem. I have tried the above solutions and have read all other posts and still my lost password template is sending:

Click the link below to reset your password:

${resetPasswordLink}

- instead of a valid link. Can anyone help?

Unable to reproduce on 7.0.2. If you customized your Email template then better try to restore the default template. It may be due to some formatting problem in template due to some edit.

I copied/ pasted the template Joe posted. It can't be the template.

Any other ideas?
