Lost Penname [MOD]

I saw that someone was asking about this in another thread and I had modded it for ver 2 which I run one of my archives on, then decided to tested on the latest ver which I use for another archive I have. It works on both. Basically if someone forgets their penname they can retreive it by putting in their email address, and the penname displays for them.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I modded a 'lost Penname' feature for ver 2 and ver 3.3.

Create a file in the 'user' folder, name it 'lostpenname.php' and paste the code below and 'save':

if(!defined("_CHARSET")) exit( );
if(!function_exists("random_char")) {

function random_char($string)
{
$length = strlen($string);
$position = mt_rand(0, $length - 1);
return ($string[$position]);
}

function random_string ($charset_string, $length)
{
$return_string = random_char($charset_string);
for ($x = 1; $x < $length; $x++)
$return_string .= random_char($charset_string);
return $return_string;
}

}
if($loggedin) accessDenied( );

$output .= "<div id="pagetitle">"._LOSTPENNAME."</div>";

  if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  $result = dbquery("SELECT "._UIDFIELD." as uid, "._PENNAMEFIELD." as penname FROM "._AUTHORTABLE." WHERE email = '$_POST[email]'");
  list($uid, $penname) = dbrow($result);
  if(dbnumrows($result) == 0) $output .= write_message(_WRONGPENNAME);

  		  
  else {
$data = dbquery("SELECT "._PENNAMEFIELD." as penname FROM "._AUTHORTABLE." WHERE email = '$_POST[email]'") or die(_FATALERROR."Query: SELECT "._UIDFIELD." as uid "._AUTHORTABLE." WHERE email = '$_POST[email]''<br />Error: (".mysql_errno( ).") ".mysql_error( ));
    
    
    while($info = dbassoc( $data ))
    {
    
    $output .= "<center>".$info['penname']."</center>";
    
     

}

}
}

else {
$output .= "<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="user.php?action=lostpenname">
<table align="center" width="300">
<tr><td>"._ENTEREMAIL."</td></tr>
<tr><td><INPUT  type="text" class="textbox=" name="email"><INPUT type="submit" class="button" name="submit" value=""._SUBMIT.""></form>
</td></tr></table>";
}
?>

Next open the 'login.php' file in the 'user' folder. Towards the bottom of the page look for the '$linkquery' and replace it with this:

$linkquery = dbquery("SELECT * from ".TABLEPREFIX."fanfiction_pagelinks WHERE link_name = 'login' OR link_name = 'lostpassword' OR link_name = 'lostpenname'");

Go a bit further down that page and look for '$output' which should be the last bit of coding there, and replace it with this:

$output .= "<div style='text-align: center;'>".$pagelinks['register']['link']." | ".$pagelinks['lostpassword']['link']." | ".$pagelinks['lostpenname']['link']."</div>";

Next you'll need to log into your site and create a 'panel' as well as a 'pagelink' for this new feature; just copy the 'lostpassword' panel info but change the names to 'lostpenname' and 'Lost Penname' . Regarding that pagelink make sure to link to 'lostpenname', everything else would be the same.

Finally go to the 'Languages/en.php' folder/file and add this:

// User - Lost Penname

// User - Lost Penname

define ("_LOSTPENNAME", "Lost penname");
define ("_WRONGPENNAME", "That address doesn't appear to be in our database. <a href=""user.php?action=lostpenname">Please" try again.</a>");
