Re: I want to change password using cake php

Ok, you want to change a password in cake.

you have to have somthing like this:

old password: _____________________
new password: ____________________
confirm new password:________________

right??

so first you have to make a method in UsersController called changePassword(){}
and a view in foldes Users called change_password.ctp

in the change password you have to put:

  public function changePassword($id = null) {
        if ($this->data) {
            if ($this->User->save($this->data))
                $this->Session->setFlash('Password changed successfully');
            else
                $this->Session->setFlash('The password was not changed');
        } else {
            $this->data = $this->User->read(null, $id);
        }
    }

in change_password.ctp:

<?php echo $this->Form->create();?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('id');?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('current_password',array('type'=>'password'));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('password',array('label'=>'New password','value'=>''));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('password_confirmation',array('label'=>'confirm your password','type'=>'password', 'value'=>''));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->end('change');?>

in User model put:

public $validate = array(
    
        'password' => array(
            'Not empty' => array(
                'rule' => 'notEmpty', 'message' => 'please enter your password'
            ),
            'Match passwords' => array(
                'rule' => 'matchPasswords',
                'message' => 'your passwords do not match'
            )
        ),
        'password_confirmation' => array(
            'Not empty' => array(
                'rule' => 'notEmpty', 'message' => 'please confirm your password'
            )
        ),
        'current_password' => array(
            'notempty' => array('rule' => 'notEmpty', 'message' => 'please enter your old password'),
            'check password' => array('rule' => 'checkPassword',
                'message' => 'your password is not correct')
        )
    );

public function matchPasswords($data) {
        if ($data['password'] == $this->data['User']['password_confirmation'])
            return true;
        $this->invalidate('password_confirmation', 'your passwords do not match');
        return false;
    }
    
    public function checkPassword($data) {
        $user1=new User();
        $user=$user1->read(null,  $this->data['User']['id']);
        $current_password=AuthComponent::password($data['current_password']);
        if($current_password==$user['User']['password']){
        return true;
    
        }
        return false;
 
    }
