Problem with "password forgotten" function

[FromTheRiviera]

I have more side effects related to the init_customer_auth.php page.

In effect when set up my store as follows :
1= Must login to browse, and
1= Must be Authorized to Browse mode.
Use split-login page = True

Try this scenario.

Return Customer goes to the shop home index.php page of my site.
Wants to login but cannot rememebr his password.

Clicks on "forgot your password ?"
is returned to index page with no error,

clicks on "Contact us" and same punishment...

Tries to make a new account,
clicks on "here" of the "The privacy statement can be read <here>"
is returned to index page with no error,

Tries again but skips the reading of the privacy statement ,
gets the Customer Authorization Pending ... message

Clicks on "Contact Us" and nothing happens ?
Clicks on "Log Out " and nothing happens ?

Closes the browser TAB and tries the shop URL again
Returns straight back to the "Customer Authorization Pending ..." message.

Probably cause the session is still holding customer_id or maybe related to my cookies ??

Decides to go take this shop out of his favourites and tell all his freinds to keep well away form it and go shop somewhere else.

The shop owner brings the shop down for maintenance by setting
Down for Maintenance: ON

Now the customers are getting the following error :

QUOTE

The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.


* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.


UNQUOTE


This is probably because the DOWN_FOR_MAINTENANCE_FILENAME cannot be accessed ?


HELP....

I need a beer .

I have maybe found a patch allowing the user to use the forgot password module.

in the init_customer_auth.php file,

Update line 104 by adding , FILENAME_PASSWORD_FORGOTTEN

Example:

line 99-111 now reads as follows:

switch (true) {
case (CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL_AUTHORIZATION == '1' and $_SESSION['customer_id'] == ''):
/**
* customer must be logged in to browse
*/
if (!in_array($_GET['main_page'], array(FILENAME_LOGIN, FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, FILENAME_PASSWORD_FORGOTTEN))) {
if (!isset($_GET['set_session_login'])) {
$_GET['set_session_login'] = 'true';
$_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
}
zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
}
break;





I am still looking for answers for the other problems related to :

Logoff
Website down for maintenance
