README

This bundle offers a lost password function for the backend of the Contao CMS.

Features

• Never send new passwords to your customers again if they have forgotten their old ones. :-)
• After requesting a new password, a password reset link is sent to the user's email.
• Select a mailer transport for outgoing mails in the settings.

Installation

1. Install via composer: composer require heimrichhannot/contao-backend-lost-password-bundle and update your database.
2. Set the huh_backend_lost_password.add_to_template to true if you want the lost password link automatically added to you backend login template.

# config/config.yml
huh_backend_lost_password:
    add_to_template: true

Customize

Use Notification center

You can use Notification Center to send the password request.

1. Create a notification of type User: Lost password with ##recipient_email## as recipient and content that contains ##link## (the link to the password reset page). You can use additional token: ##domain## and user data withing ##user_*##.
2. Set the id of the notification in your project configuration in huh_backend_lost_password.nc_notification.

# config/config.yml
huh_backend_lost_password:
  nc_notification: 5

Usage in a custom template

You can insert the lost password link in a custom login template where you want by calling BackendLostPasswortManager->getLostPasswordLink().

<!-- ... -->
<div class="widget">
    <label for="password"><?= $this->password ?></label>
    <input type="password" name="password" id="password" class="tl_text" value="" placeholder="<?= $this->password ?>" required>
</div>

<?= System::getContainer()->get(\HeimrichHannot\BackendLostPasswordBundle\Manager\BackendLostPasswordManager::class)->getLostPasswordLink() ?>

<div class="submit_container cf">
    <button type="submit" name="login" id="login" class="tl_submit"><?= $this->loginButton ?></button>
    <a href="<?= $this->route('contao_root') ?>" class="footer_preview"><?= $this->feLink ?> ›</a>
</div>
<!-- ... -->

Adjust the email's text

Hint: You can also set a notification center message by setting the id in your config.yml (see below).

Simply override the following $GLOBALS entries:

$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['backendLostPassword']['messageSubjectResetPassword']
$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['backendLostPassword']['messageBodyResetPassword']
