Re: How I can edit a user without changing the password?

a) by attaching the behavior in different ways (with different settings) for each action you can have the desired results

I think it was "allowEmpty" => false for add forms

b) you can't (and never should either) - due to the nature of how hashing works

Thanks euromak.

I like the solution to check if it is empty but ... How do I distinguish between "add action" and "edit action"?

If I add a new user the password should be mandatory.

If I edit the user then the password is blank if not modified.

Another thing .... How can see the current value of the field in database? For example

function beforeSave(){

     if(empty($this->data[$this->alias]['password']))

            $this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = currentPassword;  // hash password stored in data base

     else

            $this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data[$this->alias]['password']);

return true;

}

Thanks!
