return="member/login/forgot-username"This parameter allows you to define where the user will be returned after successfully completing the form. The parameter can be defined in two ways:
- Use the standard Template_Group/Template syntax to specify where to return the user. For instance, if you want the user to be returned to the “local” Template in the “news” Template Group, you would use: return=”member/login/forgot-username”
- Use a full URL. For example: return=”https://example.com/member/login/forgot-username.html“
return_error=
return_error="template_group/error"This parameter is for use with form validation and error handling and determines the template to return to if validation errors are detected.
