Looking for OSCommerace Wizard will pay

[ktr2687]

We need our mail form fixed on our OScommerace shopping cart. It is not sending passwords and we can't figure it out. We also want someone who is available to make corrections and fixes. See our site at gesturesbaskets.com. We will pay $30 if you can fix this for us.

Before I begin, let me start by saying that the web guys on this forum kinda frown on people soliciting job opportunities on this forum. As such, I'm not looking for any extra cash for this fix. I just want to make that clear before I begin.

 

I'm trying to understand your dilemma. You want to send the user back their own password when what happens? When they select "Forgot password?" IF that's the case, then osCommerce should already be sending a new password to the user. The problem with sending them the password that already exists is that you don't know what kind of cyber-predators are out there, might intercept your customer's password, and use it to either mess with your customer, or find a way to get access into your site itself, causing YOU greif, and needing more professional help than the forums can give you in getting your site working again.

 

Bottom line, give us a scenario in which you want the user to receive a password, whether it's their own password or a new one created by osCommerce.

If you're referring to sending the password along with the welcome email as I hear requested often from my clients, you need to modify the email body found in create_account.php to include the password variable.

 

Specifically, find this line in create_account.php:

$email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME . EMAIL_TEXT . EMAIL_CONTACT . EMAIL_WARNING;

 

to this:

$email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME . EMAIL_TEXT . 'Your password is: ' . $password . "\r\n\r\n" . EMAIL_CONTACT . EMAIL_WARNING;

 

You can play with positioning, but that's the nuts and bolts of how it's done.

When you click on forgot password and have it sent to the user it never arrives. Or if you try to send out an email through admin it doesn't work also.

Hmmm...With apologies to the moderators, I posted a similar posting on the installation page hoping to fish out someone to do my entire install. I read the forum rules(most of them) and didn't see anything about soliciting help for $ being against the rules.

 

Let me know if the post below is against the rules. I'll be happy to edit. I'm just looking for help and figured the pond would be a better place to catch a 5-lb. bass than my bathtub.
