I'm trying to create a custom password change form with ListX. Is this possible with DNN 4.8? Thanks

Assign a variable of type UserInfo, with no variable name, the UserID of the user. Assign a variable of type UserInfo, named Password, the new password. Assign a variable of type UserInfo, with no variable name, the value Save,SaveResult. You can then check to make sure the change was saved: If [FORMAT,[SaveStatus.Error,A],{LENGTH}] = 0, you're good to go.

Thanks for the reply. I added the Save,SaveResult command but still not working. It appears to work, no errors, but the password doesnt change. Here's my action script, any help is appreciated: Using latest version of ListX and DNN 4.8.2 Action Index Message / Action 0. If '[Action,QueryString]' = 'UpdatePwd' # 1. Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'OldPassword' to '[oldpwd,Form]'. # 2. Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'NewPassword' to '[newpwd,Form]'. # 3. Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'NewPassword2' to '[newpwd2,Form]'. # 4. Assignment: Assign <UserInfo> variable to '[Username,System]'. # 5. Assignment: Assign <UserInfo> variable to 'LOGIN,OldPassword,LoginResult'. # 6. If [LoginResult,Action] = 1 # 7. If [NewPassword,Action] = [NewPassword2,Action] # 8. Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'Status' to 'Updating Password...'. # 9. Assignment: Assign <UserInfo> variable 'Password' to '[newpassword,Action]'. # 10. Assignment: Assign <UserInfo> variable to 'Save,SaveResult'. # 11. If [FORMAT,[SaveStatus.Error,A],{LENGTH}] = 0 # 12. Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'Status' to 'The password has been changed'. # 13. Else # 14. Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'Status' to '<br>Error - Password Not Changed'. # 15. Else # 16. Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'Result' to 'The old password you entered is invalid'.

You also have to make sure the password follows the rules of the web site. It will not change the password if it is too short or does not meet the minimal complexity requirments. Thanks,

unfortunately I've tried many different combinations with no luck. I'm using default DNN password requirements, and using passwords such as "test1234" (which works via the normal password change methods). I get no entries in the event log and the [FORMAT,[SaveStatus.Error,A],{LENGTH}] = 0 test comes back positive, indicating the save was successful. Are there any other debugging methods I can use to get to the bottom of this? Thanks in advance for any help Beau

Hello, It does not appear you have an action that is assigning the UserInfo object to [UserID,SYSTEM]. (no name for this assignment) This will tell the application which user to update. It does not user the current user by default. Thanks,

I had it using the Username option instead of UserID as explained in the manual for Custom Login. I added another statement using UserID, but still no luck. Here's the output (also attached as gif). Initiating the Message Action Handler If '[Action,QueryString]' = 'UpdatePwd' 'UpdatePwd' = 'UpdatePwd' = True Passed: Handling child actions. Executing Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'OldPassword' to '[oldpwd,Form]'. Executing Assignment: Action[OldPassword] = 'test123' Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'NewPassword' to '[newpwd,Form]'. Executing Assignment: Action[NewPassword] = 'test234' Assignment: Assign <Action> variable 'NewPassword2' to '[newpwd2,Form]'. Executing Assignment: Action[NewPassword2] = 'test234' Assignment: Assign <UserInfo> variable to '[Username,System]'. Executing Assignment: Assign <UserInfo> variable to 'LOGIN,OldPassword,LoginResult'. Executing If [LoginResult,Action] = 1 1 = 1 = True Passed: Handling child actions.

Have you tried it without the LOGIN? (Eliminate lines 5, and 6)

Here are some actions from a working module I have that changes the user's password.

ListX....makes you look brilliant, even though you're not.

I actually figured this out. It was a stupid mistake on my part. My [newpassword,Action] should have been [NewPassword,Action]. After I changed that it's works fine
