Description

Additional CSS Class for Control

Enter the CSS class, if necessary. This option allows you to add additional layout to the skin by developing a new DOTNETNUKE style, which requires an advanced understanding of HTML and CSS.

Cancel Return URL

You should set the PWF parameter to a value that will take the constituent to that URL in your site when he/she selects "Cancel".
If this PWF Parameter does not exist or you would like to create a new one, see Setting up PWF Parameters for more information.

Error Message

If necessary, select or create a new error message. The error message will display on the control for the action that was being performed at the time of the error. If left blank, the default error message, "An error occurred while performing [Insert Action]. If the problem persists, please contact the site administrator", will display. [Insert Action] will be substituted with the action the control was performing at the time of the error. If you wish to change the default error message, customize it with a PWF parameter. See Setting up PWF Parameters for more information.

Login URL

You should set the PWF parameter to a value (e.g., Login) that will take the web user to the Login page's URL when he/she clicks "log in", as highlighted below. See Setting up PWF Parameters to learn more about these parameters and why your website's redirect URLs are managed there.

Query String Name for Return URL

By default, this is set to "returnurl", but if the environment's redirection logic uses a different Query String name set it here

QueryString Parameters To Preserve

Enter "ProductID, RateCode". This is the default name of the parameter to read the product’s ID, but if the environment's redirection logic uses a different Query String name set it here.


If this PWF Parameter does not exist or you would like to create a new one, see Setting up PWF Parameters for more information.

Registration URL

You should set the PWF parameter to a value (e.g., RegisterURL) that will take the web user to the page that allows him/her to register for your site. If this PWF parameter does not exist or you would like to create a new one, see Setting up PWF Parameters for more information.

Reset Password URL

You should set the PWF parameter to a value (e.g., ForgotPasswordURL) that will take the constituent to that URL in DNN when he/she clicks Reset Password. If this PWF parameter does not exist or you would like to create a new one, see Setting up PWF Parameters for more information.

 

The user must enter an email address and click "Send Reset Password" for the system to send a notification email with a link to reset their password. Please note that as of 7.6.0, users are given a hint about their email address on file with the organization. If there are more than 4 characters before the @ symbol, the system displays the first two letters of the email address and the domain name. The user is only allowed 3 attempts at identifying the email address.
