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.

Excellent. Just installed on my 4.1.7 forum and it works great.

Thanks Installed

I see where it tried to display but there is only a small blank space between the remember password check box and help.

Any ideas?

I would like to place the "Register" link before the "forgot your password" link. Can you please show how to do that?

[gingerol]

Same thing happens for me. Forgotten_Your_Password and Forgot_Your_Password work fine, but if I try shorter phrases such as Lost_Password or Recover_Password etc, they don't appear at all, just a small box like what ar15dcm has pictured. The only difference is that I am replacing the help button. Any suggestions?

lost_password or recover_password are not valid phrases if that's what you were trying to use. You can either create a custom phrase with the text you want, or don't use a phrase at all and put the text directly into the template (though it is better practice to use a phrase).
