Oxwall System Bugs - Forgot Password Email expires too soon and hyperlink doesn't work on popular mail servers | Forum

Hi, on popular mail servers such as yahoo mail and live mail the oxwall hyper link for "forgot password reset" does not appear as a hyper link. Also the validity of the link expires in a matter of minutes. way too soon as opposed to the norm which keeps the reset link valid for at least one day.

Will retest again. Sorry one more time.

Omari, regarding links coming as plain text.
Admin panel>>settings>>languages.
Find following text key: {text key='base+reset_password_mail_template_content_html'}
Content of this key:
Dear {$username},
<br />
You requested to reset your password. Follow this link ({$resetUrl}) to change your password.
<br />
If the link doesn't work, please enter the code manually here ({$requestUrl}). Code: {$code}
<br />
If you didn't request password reset, please ignore this email.
<br /><br />
Thank you,
{$site_name}<br />
You will need to edit it so that it looks like:
Dear {$username},
<br />
You requested to reset your password. Follow this link <a href="{$resetUrl}>{$resetUrl}</a> to change your password.
<br />
If the link doesn't work, please enter the code manually here <a href="{$requestUrl}">{$requestUrl}</a>. Code: {$code}
<br />
If you didn't request password reset, please ignore this email.
<br /><br />
Thank you,
{$site_name}<br />
Note: hotmail works so that if email lands in your junk box, all links are removed automatically.
