saucecode:forgot-password

Want your own styling instead of the default accounts-password reset password templates? forgot-password allows you to use the inbuilt accounts-password logic, while keeping your branding/styling consistent.

forgot-password enables you to:

• Send a custom forgot password email template using mandrill.
• Define a custom layout for the reset password form.

Install

Install: meteor add saucecode:forgot-password

Setup

1: Set environment variable with your Mandrill API Key

Either: $ export MANDRILL_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxx in your session before starting meteor or $ MANDRILL_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxx meteor

2: Configure

We expose configuration through the namespace ForgotPassword. Set this in your javascript within the scope of both the client and the server.

template_slug

This is the mandrill template slug, which is used by the API for selecting the template to send to the user.

ForgotPassword.template_slug = 'mandrill-template-slug'

subject

This is the email template, if you wish for this to be personalised or customised. You will need to use the *|subject|* merge tag in the subject of your mandrill mail template.

ForgotPassword.subject = 'Reset your Password'

layoutTemplate (optional)

This is the layout template to be used when displaying the reset password form to the user.

ForgotPassword.layoutTemplate = 'layout'
};

3: Create a Mandrill Mail Template

Create a mandrill template to be hit by the API. The two merge tags that you need to include at some point in your template:

• *|resetPasswordUrl|* - This is the url to the reset password form with the password reset token
• *|subject|* - You can optionally add this to your mandrill mail template to configure the email subject in your code
