Many WCTL commands return a "1" when completed successfully, and that number may be included an HTML result. How can I suppress that?

Answer

One such WCTL command is "setUserPassword". Here are three ways to suppress the value of "setUserPassword":

-- 1 --
%% setAuthor( UserID ) %%
%% if author.setUserPassword( newPassword )%%
   User password has been changed...
%% else %%
   User password not changed...
%% endif %%

-- 2 --
%% setAuthor( UserID ) %%
%% set result author.setUserPassword( newPassword )%%

-- 3 --
For version 3.1+: %% clearOutput %% at the end of your macro (or wherever your macro stops).
