Recover your password from Interspire Shopping Cart

I develop my websites locally, so sending Lost Password emails never works. When I forget what my password is, it’s quite the hassle.

I’m developing an Interspire Shopping Cart website, and lo and behold, I lost the password.

Here’s how to recover your password from Interspire Shopping Cart:

1. Go to /admin/includes/classes/class.auth.php, line 45 and change
   $GLOBALS['Message'] = sprintf(GetLang("ConfirmPassEmailSent"), isc_html_escape($email));
   to this:
   $GLOBALS['Message'] = $message;
2. Submit the Forgot Password form again, and you’ll see the confirmation link.
3. Change the code back immediately! If you forget this, and make your cart live, you will have screwed the proverbial pooch.

I will be writing about my experience developing the Interspire cart, but so far, it’s an elegant — and full featured — shopping cart. It’s a little complex behind the scenes (after working with ‘Code is Poetry’ WordPress), but no more so than osCommerce, and much nicer administration.

HEY — Did you change your password back yet? Do it!
