Hi Dave,

I have the exact same problem with the e-mailed password. This has been
mentioned before on the list and hopefully Mike will address it in a future
version. For now, just run un-encrypted.

As for the postal code problem, try using the filter=no_white command which
is described at:

http://www.minivend.com/minivend/tags/03.23.filter.html

Maybe you could make the input field concatenate the users input when
searching for his lost id.

You can also use JavaScript to remove spaces as defined below:


<TITLE>__COMPANY__ - [L]Check Out[/L]</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function replaceChars(entry) {
out = " "; // replace this
add = ""; // with this
temp = "" + entry; // temporary holder

while (temp.indexOf(out)>-1) {
pos= temp.indexOf(out);
temp = "" + (temp.substring(0, pos) + add +
temp.substring((pos + out.length), temp.length));
}
document.subform.zip.value = temp;
}
//  End -->
</script>
</HEAD>


<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="zip" VALUE="[value zip]" size=10 
onChange="replaceChars(document.subform.zip.value);">


Hope this helps,


Cameron

Hi there....

Has anyone else come across when trying to access "a forgotten" 
password that all fields must be entered (in login.html) ...

First Name & Last Name & eMail Address & Zip Code

Failing to enter any/all will result in the error, "More than one 
match found - try again?" (from get_password.html).

This is a bit of a problem as the routine that adds the users info to 
the UserDB concatenates a users PostCode* eg SN13 0RP becomes 
sn130rp. Unless (like me) an end user notices this, they will never 
find any "lost/forgotten" password.

*I'm a Brit, and most of the shoppers will be Brits...

Secondly - if 'Encrypt password' is set (catalog.cfg), when the 
resulting mail comes in, adding the enclosed encrypted password into 
the Login fields will not work....

Is this just my setup, or has anyone else come across this?
