modify resource password or id request.

[lewisw]

Is it possible to hack the pre modify screen to include a send id and password to the link owner function.

Currently if someone goes to modify their record and they do not know there id# they can never modify it.

Update your Site
Enter your resource ID ????

Can this be done ?

This works but again the webmaster needs to know their ID .

Instead of only asking for ID is is possible just to have it send the information id and password when they click on forgot password item.

actually, the mod accounts for that. if you click on send password, it takes you to a screen that shows the ID and then when you submit, it sends the password to the email addess of record ( which is stored in the email field of the idx_link table).


Also, if you go to Aerobics > Certifications and mouseover American Fitness Training of Athletics, you can see the ID number ( unless you have added a onmouseover tag, in which case you have to view the source ).

I now it sounds strange but most of my webmasters still can't even remember their link name yet alone id#

Is it possible to revise the mod so that all they do is click on lost password and when they enter the e-mail Id and password is sent to them ?

Thanks again,

probably not a good idea. Anyone could go to your site and do what you suggest and enter THEIR email address, thereby gaining access to anyone's listing.

Gene,
As you know Links will ONLY e-mail the link owner the information so if someone who does not contain a link they would not receive anything.

I'm confused...

As I read what you suggested: you want to allow someone to enter an email address and THAT email address will then be used to send the password for that listing. Correct?

Or are you suggesting that someone enter and email address and that email address will be compared to the email addess in the file. If they are the same, then the password is emailed to the email address in the file?

as I said earlier ( they don't even have to enter the email address - most of them cannot remember that either ):

actually, the mod accounts for that. if you click on send password, it takes you to a screen
 that shows the ID and then when you submit, it sends the password to the email
 addess of record ( which is stored in the email field of the idx_link table).
