Password reset url - token

help
1

Hello,
I changed url for password recovery like so:

Accounts.urls.resetPassword = function(token) {
   return Meteor.absoluteUrl('reset/' + token);
};

My router:

Router.route('/reset/:token', function () {
  this.render('passwordReset');
});

But when I load correct url this is undefined

console.log(Accounts._resetPasswordToken); // undefined

I found this:

If meteor finds the resetpassword token in the url it will set the password token in Accounts._resetPasswordToken

What should I change?

Hi, sorry bad english…
Accounts.urls.resetPassword is your method?

the way I usually do :

On Server side, overrides email template send forgot password

if (Meteor.isServer) {
    Meteor.startup(function () {
        Accounts.emailTemplates.resetPassword.text = function(user, url){
            var token = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/')+1, url.length);
            var newUrl = Meteor.absoluteUrl('reset/' + token);
            var str = 'Hello,\n';
                str+= 'To reset your password, please click follow link...\n';
                str+= newUrl;
            return str;
        }
    });
}

Nope, Accounts._resetPasswordToken is built-in meteor account function. But it’s just saving token from url to not bother you with that, so it’s not necessary to use it.
