Updating the password reset URL

Hello,

The core Joomla com_users reset password function has included for some time the very useful feature of adding the reset password token to the URL for the reset password screen that is sent in the user email. So it appears as:

index.php?option=com_users&view=reset&layout=confirm&token=some_string

In the EasySocial (and Discuss/Blog) over-rides for the password reset, this is absent. It is a very nice feature for users who aren't good at copying and pasting or who don't understand to do this (it happens).

Here is the Github post on this feature evolution:

https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/commit/06071ab422b68212343a9dec3d85269e49682910

It would be great to include this in EasySocial etc.

Hi Jordan,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply. If you want to disable joomla password reset override you can go to the following file, /plugins/system/easysocial/easysocial.php and change the code at line 208 as follow:
if( $option == 'com_users' && $view == 'reset' )

{

	return true;

}



// Replace with



if( $option == 'com_users' && $view == 'reset' )

{

	return false;

}


Hope these help.

OK. If it's not in the plans right now, can you at least tell me how to prevent Easysocial (via a hack for now) from over-riding the reset password screens (view=reset and view=confirm) and allow it to go to the core Joomla versions?

That's great. This is much more user friendly and hopefully can make in to the Stackideas overrides.
