QueueMetrics:
Please do...

framirez:
Ok guys. Sorry for the long delay.. Here we go.... Remember this is a really dirty way to do this, maybe someone can create a better setup, but this is how I got it to work.

The barebone html:

--- Code: ---<html>
<head>
<title>I Forgot My Password!</title>


<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
label{ width: 4em; float: left; text-align: right; margin-right: 0.5em; display: block }
.submit input{ margin-left: 4.5em; }
input{ color: #000; background: #E1F0F7; border: 1px solid #FF9900 }
.submit input{ color: #000; background: #FF9900; border: 2px outset #d7b9c9 }
fieldset{ border: 1px solid #FF9900; width: 20em }
legend{ color: #fff; background: #3089C5; border: 1px solid #3089C5; padding: 2px 6px }
body { color: #000; background: #fff; font-size="12";}
</STYLE


</head>

<body>

<p> </p><hr>
<p>Please enter your username and press the submit button to have your password emailed to you.<p>
<p> </p>





<form method="post" action="passwd.php" >
<fieldset>

<legend>Forgot Password</legend>
<label for="username">Username:</label><br />
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" />
<br />
<label for="submit"> </label><br />
<input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" />
</fieldset>
</form>


</html>
--- End code ---

The php

--- Code: ---<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

$username = $_POST['username'];

if (!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z].*[0-9]*$/',$username)) {
    echo "Invalid Entry! Please go back and try again. ";
    exit;
}

$dbname = "queuemetrics";
$conn = mysql_connect ('localhost','login_name','password') or
die ('cannot connect to database error: '.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ($dbname, $conn);

if($username != ""){

   $sql = 'select PASSWORD from arch_users where login = "' . $username .'";';
   $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
   $count=mysql_num_rows($result);
   switch ($count) {
      case 0;
         echo "We're sorry, but we could not find that username.";
         break;
      case 1;
         $userpass="";
         while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
            $userpass=$row['PASSWORD'];
         }
         $subject  = "Your Queuemetrics Login Information";
         $message  = "Your Password for logging into queuemetrics is:\n\n";
         $message .= "Password: $userpass\n";
         $to       = "$username@domain.com";
         $header     = 'From: Helpdesk' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: no-reply@domain.com' . "\r\n";

      if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $header)){
         echo "Your Login credentials have been emailed to you.";
      }
      else {
         echo "We're sorry, but we could not email your password because of a problem.";
      }

   }
}

else{
   echo "No username provided";
}
?>
--- End code ---

Creating the shortcut on the login page:

In the autenticazione.jsp file, search for this line:

--- Code: ---<%= oH.button( oDec.k("logon_btn") + " » ", true, "", "qm_autentica", "" ) %>
--- End code ---

Right after that make the following entry:

--- Code: ---<p> </p>
<a href="http://localhost/apache2-default/passwd.html"><small>Forgot Password</small></a>

--- End code ---

Hope this helps someone as much as it helped us.

QueueMetrics:
Can I post this as a part of the Open QueueMetrics Add-ons collection?

framirez:
You most definitely can, it would be an honor to contribute to this software. However I must point out that when setting the shortcut on the login page, it may have to be edited to work with the system it's being put on. That is how I had my system setup.
