Tuan,

You mentioned that I can create an override for components/com_eventbooking/themes/default/register/register_login.php to add a "Forgot Password" link (to mirror standard Joomla logins)

(This was in www.joomdonation.com/forum/events-bookin...to-registration.html )


I have never created an override before. The documentation page ( eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/develop...ion/customize-layout ) says I need to copy ALL the fields (files). Is it OK to just copy the "register_login.php" file?

To confirm, should I copy the file to PATH_TO_YOUR_SITE_TEMPLATE/html/com_eventbooking/register and then edit that version of the file?

Thanks!

I have it working. I looked at and copied the relevant lines from the standard Joomla "Login" module, so these links should work as is without needing further customization.

Here's the code if you want to put it into a next release (without my comments, probably!).

AFTER these two existing lines (55 & 56):
Code:
<input type="hidden" name="return" id="return_url" value="<?php echo base64_encode(JUri::getInstance()->toString()); ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="login_from_mp_subscription_form" value="1" />

Insert at line 57 of register_login.php:
Code:
<?php //** // * START ---------------------- // * Customize to add "Forgot your password?" and "Forgot your username?" links // * to match standard Joomla login module. // */ ?> <ul> <li> <a href="/component/users/?view=reset&amp;Itemid=302"> Forgot your password?</a> </li> <li> <a href="/component/users/?view=remind&amp;Itemid=302"> Forgot your username?</a> </li> </ul> <?php /** * End of customization for "Forgot your password/username?" * ------------------ */ ?>

Thanks Stephan

It's looking OK. I will consider adding a config option to show/hide these links in the next release to make it easier for customers need this option

Regards,

Tuan

Since version 3.10.1, this override is not needed anymore. You just need to set Show Forgot Username And Password Links config option to Yes and it will be shown
