Hello boltwire group,
It's been awhile since I've posted here. 
Recently all my joomla and boltwire websites got hacked by the rr.nu worm (they were all on the same server).  It's been estimated that 30,000 websites have been hacked by this worm.  So you may all want to check yours.  It infects every php file it can find with a long string of base64 code that redirects visitors to some other website.  It affects wordpress, joomla, and probably any other CMS based on php.
Anyway, you all will probably want to check your sites, especially outdated ones.  Sucuri site scanner seems to be a good place to use to scan websites.  And NoScripts plugin for firefox will protect you from getting your computer infected by whatever it may try to do if you happen across such a site.  I have found several good website with info about cleanup if anybody needs them.

So anyway, that aside, I have had to transfer all my boltwire sites to the latest version of boltwire.  It mostly went smoothly, but I ran into a few problems.  So here they are if anybody can help.

I followed the instructions on the boltwire site about setting up an action.contact page, but when I test it the email never comes through.  My site.auth.email file has this line in it: "action.contact: @guest".  I followed all the instruction exactly I think, including changing site.config.  Am I doing something wrong?

This is not on my site, but I noticed that the search function on the main boltwire.com site does not seem to work.

How do I change a users password (like my own)?  There used to be an action.password, but it doesn't seem to be there anymore and I can't find it in the help.

Thanks for any help!

Try this (you can find the complete thread in this google group when searching for mailaddress):

I already had an aboutus page.

So I created an aboutus.contactus page with the following:

! Contact Form

[if equal '{sitemail}' '']You must register a site email address on your site config page to use this form.

[else]Please use the form below to send us your message:

<box>
[form][t]
[r]
[c width=100px]Your Email:
[c][text from "{~email}" size=40]
[r]
[c]Subject:
[c][text subject size=40]
[r]
[c top]Message:
[c][box body rows=6 cols=35][box]
[r]
[c]
[c right][submit "SEND MAIL"]
[t]

[session to "{sitemail}"]
[session mail]
[form]
</box>
[if]

The key was the site.auth.mail page!!

I edited site.auth.mail and added:

aboutus.contact: @guest

and I can now send email from admin, any logged in user and any guest user which was the primary purpose.

UPDATED BOLTWIRE PAGE:

I've added the site.auth.mail info to the boltwire site page

http://boltwire.com/index.php?p=docs.concepts.mail
 

This is not on my site, but I noticed that the search function on the main boltwire.com site does not seem to work.

You are correct. A good starting point to check out the docs is

How do I change a users password (like my own)?  There used to be an action.password, but it doesn't seem to be there anymore and I can't find it in the help.

Check out and adapt action.register. User data is stored in data fields on pages named login.username.

Greetings, Martin
