How do I find the configuration path for the member pages?
How Do I?
So I know this worked correctly at one point, but I have added the links to my pages for “Forgot Password” & “Register”
<a href="http://{path=member/forgot_password}">Forget your password</a>
<a href="http://{path=member/register}">Register as a new member</a>but when they are clicked on, I get this message: “The page you requested was not found”
I had been messing with duplicating the Member templates to my “themes/user” folder so I can modify them for my site design so I don’t know if I messed something up or not. The original member templates folder is still where it belongs.
Anyone have a thought as to what I could check so I can get to these pages again?
I had thought that maybe I had changed the configuration path for them but now I am unable to find that where the Docs say it is.
Thanks in advance. Russ
One question: why do you have http in your href-tag? It’s not needed when using path variables?
Anyway, Have you tried these:
<a href="http://{path=member/forgot_password}">Forget your password</a>
<a href="http://{path=member/register}">Register as a new member</a>NOTE: if you have changed your URL and Path Settings (Profile URL segment), you need to change the word “member” to reflect the one you have on that setting.
At least my installation works just fine with those path variables (and I have changed the member trickering word), but I havent duplicated core member templates since I have add-on User in use 😊
EDIT: this forum messes up the code, so forget the first few lines since also my code part has that freakin http now 😊
Thanks for your input … it was helpful in that it got me thinking… and here is what I have found …
Everything did work fine early on.
I didn’t change my members trigger word, it was still member … and under Settings->Members, my “Member profile theme” was set to default. Everything should have worked. all the appropriate files were there…
At some point (not sure when) I had tried to create a duplicate of the default members folder in the location the docs say to for my site (Themes->users->member->My-theme-name)
However, when I go back to Settings->Members the only option available is still “default” and now (I think it was at this point) I get the message I first mentioned above.
So I just did this: In the ee->member folder, I created a copy of “default” so now I have - in that folder - both “default” & “default_copy”.
I went back to Settings->Members in the CP, and now I have BOTH those options available in the dropdown. I changed the “Member Profile Theme” to “default_copy” and now, everything works fine - then I changed it back to “default” and everything STILL works fine ….
So evidently something just got a little messed up in the path for that set of files… However,
Shouldn’t following the instructions in the docs & placing my theme copy in (Themes->users->member->My-theme-name) have given me that option in the control panel under Settings->Members->”Member profile theme”?
