Help using UE with lost password

9/07/2009 2:41 pm | #1 prandjr269386

I have a lost pwd page that sends only the first entry in the database. That is, no matter what name I test from the database, it only sends the username and password from the first record. I am using UE306 and DW CS4.
On my lost pwd page, I have a recordset that sets the filter as user_id = URL Parameter and user_id.
In UE I have the to: field set to the email address entered in the lost pwd form.
For the lost pwd information sent to the email address, I am getting the username and password from the recordset (yet it's always from the first entry). Any ideas, or any other information needed?

Could you post the code on your page that queries the database and then sends the code? Probably give us the entire page and we can all get a look at it and give some advice from there.

Cheers,

Brian

The code that you have here looks like it should be selecting the record for the user where the id matches the $_GET['user_id'] value. This is not very secure though as a user could edit the id to be whatever they would like.

Also, when your form post this value will no longer be present, you have the form set like this:

<form id="frm_login" name="frm_login" method="POST">

So your get value will not exist once the form has been posted. The better way to do this is to query the user table based on the entered email address, then send the users details to that address they entered. This way a users details will only be sent to the email address on file for that user.

So, how do I fix this?

Can this be done in DW and/or WAUE? If so, how? If not, how to fix?

Change the way the recordset is filtered.

Instead of Filtering the user_id column on the user_id querystring variable, filter the emailAddress column on the EmailAddress Form element.

Double click the recordset in the Server behaviors list In simple View, edit the filtering options select the emailAddress Column, set the filter type to form Element, and type the name of the form element "EmailAddress"
