whoa, thanks

Thanks.. installed

Yes, a good one. Been wanting this for quite a while, but couldn't bother to write it. =]

I was just going to post this in the suggestions and then the title caught my eye. I can't tell you how often I have to log out and go and request the password for someone, simply because I know if they are asking me, it's going to be easier than explaining to them they can do it themselves.

THANK YOU!

We should package this with your mod.

Feel free if you want to zip it all together and update your post.

I added it to my mod and updated my post. I agree, this should be standard.

I know this may sound really weird, but I was able to use this as a template for something really important on my site. Everything is working just peachy, except the email is coming from webmaster@mydomain.com........ Is there a place I can change where that comes from? Like say I want it to say [][email protected].....[/] Anyone have any idea?

The email address is being pulled from the config.inc.php file here:

Okay, I might be really dense.....

Is there any way I can have it not pull from that email address, and use a different one instead?

Thanks for working with me on this!

It shouldn't be hard (it should be really easy) but that doesn't necessarily mean I can do it. Let me see what I can figure out.

well, I tried

Sorry, I couldn't get it to work. The way it is now it pulls in the whole header section from ubbt.inc.php. You wouldn't want to change any of that (otherwise you'd just change the email address in config. ) So basically you just need to change the script from pulling the header information and place the necessary information in the script itself. (Unfortunately I couldn't do that. )
