Hi,

I’m trying to send a ‘change password’ link to all members. I tried using tags like {email}, but they do’t get parsed. Can someone tell me what i’m doing wrong?

Kind regards,
Michel

What version and build of EE are you using? Is that mail sent via the Communicate tab, or how exactly?

Hi Ingmar,

I’m using 1.6.8 (20091201), maybe a bit old, I guess 😊, but still.

I’m indeed using the communicate tab.

Thx,
M

I tested with a more recent version of EE1.x, but even then, email isn’t a field that is parsed. I’m not certain it’s supposed to be..

Hi,

can’t find out how this works. I need to send a list of members the link to reset/change their auto-generated pwd. Which url should I use for that? I tried {reset_url} but that doesn’t seem to be parsed either.

Can you help me out, please?

Kind regards,
Michel

Hi, webnology. What I’d do is create a stand alone page with the following code snippet, or create a link with:

<a href="http://{path=member/forgot_password}">Change your password?</a>

You’d put in the full path to your member/forgot_password section on your site.

Does that help?
