Ok well lets see here...

This is not tested. Files I looked at where from Nuke 7.3.

MAKE A BACKUP!

Open the modules/Your_Account/index.php

#-----------[FIND]-------------#

Code:

function pass_lost() {

In that function find this line:

Code:

.""._NICKNAME.":</td><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"username\" size=\"15\" maxlength=\"25\"></td></tr>\n"

Underneath it add:

Code:

."<tr><td>"._EMAIL.":</td><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"user_email\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"50\"></td></tr>\n"

#-----------[FIND]-------------#

Code:

function mail_password($username, $code) {

Change that to

Code:

function mail_password($username, $user_email, $code) {

In that funtion find

Code:

$sql = "SELECT user_email, user_password FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE username='$username'";

Change that to

Code:

$sql = "SELECT username, user_email, user_password FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE username='$username' OR user_email='$user_email'";

Find

Code:

$user_email = $row[user_email];

Before it add

Code:

$username = $row[username];

Find

Code:

/* If no Code, send it */
} else {
$sql = "SELECT user_email, user_password FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE username='$username'";

Change the sql to

Code:

$sql = "SELECT username, user_email, user_password FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE username='$username' OR user_email='$user_email'";

Find

Code:

$user_email = $row[user_email];

Before it add

Code:

$username = $row[username];

#-----------[FIND]-------------#
All the way don by the bottom

Code:

case "mailpasswd":
mail_password($username, $code);
break;

change it to

Code:

case "mailpasswd":
mail_password($username, $user_email, $code);
break;

If you look in the language file (modules/Your_Account/language/lang-english.php) for the define:

Code:

_NOPROBLEM

You can change that to say something like type in your email or user name.

Let me know how it goes.

ok im having kind of a problem similar to this one. ok heres the problem:

when a new user registrates and after that forgets his password :@ and clicks on the forget password button [without even clicking on the account activation button :@], the reply email goes straight to my webhosting provider :@:@

i already got 2 emails from him [my webhosting provider] where he complains about it and asks me to check my scripts again, in which i have very less knowledge. does anyone have a solution for this problem, cos its kind of pissing me off.

anyway, thanks for the help.

I am looking for the same mod. I have lots of users who forget everything including their username, passwords and the email they used.

A link to re-send the username to the registered email would be great. I've promised this my site, probably the biggest problem I have regarding logins.

If I see anything I will post it back here.
