$username variable is not available in PASSWORD_RESET_CONFIRM Email Template

Hello PKP Forum

Because some users forget their usernames or try to log in with their email account, I want to add a message in the PASSWORD_RESET_CONFIRM template that says:
“Don’t forget to log in with your username: {$username}”

But the content of the variable $username is not being sent, only the name of the variable

$username variable works correctly for PASSWORD_RESET template

username1
username1934×459 16.7 KB

username2
username2835×212 8.08 KB

Thanks for your help
Juan

Hi Radjr.

I forgot to reply the solution:

Add the $username variable in \lib\pkp\pages\login\LoginHandler.inc.php modyfing the function requestResetPassword adding: ‘username’ => $user->getUsername(),
like this:

function requestResetPassword($args, $request) {
	$this->setupTemplate($request);
	$templateMgr = TemplateManager::getManager($request);

	$email = $request->getUserVar('email');
	$userDao = DAORegistry::getDAO('UserDAO'); /** @var UserDAO $userDao */
	$user = $userDao->getUserByEmail($email);

	if ($user == null || ($hash = Validation::generatePasswordResetHash($user->getId())) == false) {
		$templateMgr
			->assign('error', 'user.login.lostPassword.invalidUser')
			->display('frontend/pages/userLostPassword.tpl');

		return;
	}

	if ($user->getDisabled()) {
		$templateMgr
			->assign([
				'error' => 'user.login.lostPassword.confirmationSentFailedWithReason',
				'reason' => empty($reason = $user->getDisabledReason() ?? '')
					? __('user.login.accountDisabled')
					: __('user.login.accountDisabledWithReason', ['reason' => $reason])
			])
			->display('frontend/pages/userLostPassword.tpl');
		
		return;
	}

	// Send email confirming password reset as all check has passed
	import('lib.pkp.classes.mail.MailTemplate');
	$mail = new MailTemplate('PASSWORD_RESET_CONFIRM');
	$site = $request->getSite();
	$this->_setMailFrom($request, $mail, $site);
	$mail->assignParams([
		'url' => $request->url(null, 'login', 'resetPassword', $user->getUsername(), array('confirm' => $hash)),
		'siteTitle' => htmlspecialchars($site->getLocalizedTitle()),
		'username' => $user->getUsername(),
	]);
	$mail->addRecipient($user->getEmail(), $user->getFullName());
	$mail->send();

	$templateMgr->assign([
		'pageTitle' => 'user.login.resetPassword',
		'message' => 'user.login.lostPassword.confirmationSent',
		'backLink' => $request->url(null, $request->getRequestedPage()),
		'backLinkLabel' => 'user.login',
	]);
	$templateMgr->display('frontend/pages/message.tpl');
}

Don’ t forget to make a copy of the original file.

Regards.
