Remind/Reset buttons not working (Joomla 4.1.12)

Hello,

One of our members just pointed out that the Remind and Reset links are not working. They just reload the page. I created a test page with the stock Joomla login and both Reset and Remind work as expected. Also, the 'Show Password' button is displayed regardless of the Hide/Show setting.

Joomla 4.1.12
PHP 8.1
Astroid template_one 2.5.14
SCLogin 9.0.198

 

Thanks,
Jay

Okay, so I made a main menu item called "Test Login" for the stock Joomla login module. The alias path is mydomain.com/test-login, and the Remind/Reset functions work great. On that page, the "Forget your password?" link redirects to mydomain.com/test-login?view=reset as expected.

On my home page, when I hover over the SCLogin reset password link, it shows a redirect to mydomain.com/component/users/reset?Itemid=101 which, when clicked, actually ends up at mydomain.com/?/reset

Next, I added the SCLogin module to the Test Login page sitting right next to the working Joomla login module. Guess what? The Remind/Reset functions worked exactly as expected.

Puzzling.

I've identified the cause but not the solution.

Some time ago I wrote a redirect in .htaccess to prevent users from being sent to the default Joomla login module if their session happens to timeout. Because this looks awful:

 

I don't need two login modules, I want them to time out back to the home page. So here is my redirect:

What didn't occur to me is that this also redirects the Remind/Reset functions on the home page. I tried using a more specific "/component/users/login" in the redirects but Remind/Reset still didn't work. On my Test Login page, the path is mydomain.com/test-login?view=reset so the redirect wasn't triggered.

Would it be possible for SCLogin to redirect to a specified page on a session timeout? The .htacess approach doesn't seem like such a good option.

Unfortunately, that "login" page doesn't actually exist. It redirects to the home page with PATH_INFO that displays the Joomla login component instead of the articles. And that's the only page that has the SCLogin component on it. Remind/Reset work in a similar fashion.

I guess I'll work on a better redirect, or just live with it.

Thanks for the feedback,
Jay
