custom forgotten password page

Currently on the site I am working on, I have one page which users need to login to see. So have set up a login page and user group for users with the permission to see this page. I am having trouble with the forgotten password link though. I would like to have the link take the user to a custom forgotten password page rather than to the sitefinity one. Has any one done this or have an example that I could use to help?

Thanks

James

Hi James,

In case we're talking about the public LoginControl that can be dropped on any frontend page, this is easily achieved. You can specify the link to a custom ForgotPassword by editing the LoginControl settings - there's a property PasswordRecoveryUrl which you can simply set to the location of your cistom page. If you want to mimic the looks of the default one, please find below the markup of our PasswordRecovery page.

This is helpful.  Where can we get the default template used by <sf:PasswordRecoveryForm /> so that it's contents can be adjusted?  We need to change the Username label to say Email since we're requiring all users to have their email address as their login name.

Nevermind, I found it.  The ~/SFRes in the virtual paths were causing some confusion as to where the default templates were located.

Hi Seattle...I don't find the forgot password template and change password.

Can you please make a copy paste in this ticket.

I really appreciate it.

Thank you!

Hi FIR,

The template is stored as a resource in the ~/bin/Telerik.Sitefinity.Resources.dll file.  The name of the resource is available in the widget properties when editing an instance of the widget through the Sitefinity administration.
