Forum Home Enhancements - Replace Help with Forgotten Password

This will replace the 'Help' button next to your login boxes with a 'Forgotten Password?' button, making it easier for your members to reset their password.

To do this, all you have to do, is edit your 'header' template.

Go to: Admincp > Styles & Templates > Style manager > Edit templates > Show Thread templates > header

In the header template, Find:

<li><a rel="help" href="faq.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase help}</a></li>

Replace with:

<li><a href="login.php?do=lostpw{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase forgotten_your_password}</a></li>

Voila! That easy!

It will go from:



To this:



The only difference to the image above when using the vb phrase is that it says 'Forgotten Your Password?' rather than ' Forgotten Password?' which would make more sense really :P
Although its totally your choic depending on how much space you want to use. Is so just remove the following line and replace with what you want between the arrows:

{vb:rawphrase forgotten_your_password}

If you wish to keep your 'Help' button just add this code above or beneath to suit your needs.

To get the little user icon and padlock images for your login area, use this mod.

Just change it to the text below:

<li><a href="login.php?do=lostpw{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">
PUT YOUR TEXT HERE</a></li>

Just edit the PUT YOUR TEXT HERE and it will display whatever you want

Thank you for this info.

I tagged this for this evening work. I have a question: if I want to move the "login" location outside the header and to be on top of the page, how can I move that? What code should I copy and paste? Thanks again.

I'm following the steps, but I don't see "header"
Go to: Admincp > Styles & Templates > Style manager > Edit templates > Show Thread templates > header

In my "Show Thread templates" it's not there.... Why?
