Change Password and Web Member Issues

Hi.

I have just started using MODx, and I have a couple of small questions. I am using version 0.9.6.1.

1. Change Password / Forgotten Password
I have followed the tutorial given here on how to implement a change password form, although the version I am using does not appear to have the relevant code to edit as shown in the WebLoginTpl chunk on this page.
I have the form on the page, although it does not process a new password. When I click Submit, the form simply clears and does not show a new password to return to the home page, and thus does also not change the password!

A related issue is the Forgotten Password link. I can login fine, but when I try to have a password reminder sent, it does not send an e-mail.

2. Display Web Member on home page
Part of the site I am creating has a "member area" for the web members. Is there a way I can get the member’s name displayed as a title, such as "Welcome, Joe Bloggs!"?

Point 2 you could put this into a snippet :

<?php
$output ="";
if(isset($_SESSION['webValidated']) && isset($_SESSION['webFullname'])){
$lastvisit = $_SESSION['webLastlogin'];
if($lastvisit !=""){
$output .= 'Welcome back ';
$output .=$_SESSION['webFullname'];
}
else{
$output .='Welcome ';
$output .=$_SESSION['webFullname'];
}
}
return $output;
?>

Name the snippet UserName and call it on your page:

[[UserName]]

It will show either Welcome back Full Name or Welcome Full Name, where Full Name is the name of your user, depending on whether they’ve logged in before.
