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

It is very simple

Step: 1

In edit.ctp add the password input field as like given below:

echo $this->Form->input('password',array('value' => '','autocomplete'=>'off'));

Step 2:

In model User.php set the validation for password as like given below:

'password' => array(

'notempty' => array(

'rule' => array('notempty'),

//'message' => 'Your custom message here',

//'allowEmpty' => false,

//'required' => false,

//'last' => false, // Stop validation after this rule

'on' => 'create', // Limit validation to 'create' or 'update' operations

Here I set the 'on' attribute value to 'create' so the validation check only at the time of user creation.

Step 3: 

Then add the given codes to Model User.php

public function beforeValidate($options = array()) {

            parent::beforeValidate($options);

            if($this->data['User']['password'] == ""){

                unset($this->data['User']['password']);

            }

            

        }

public function beforeSave($options = array()) {

            if(!empty($this->data['User']['password'])) {

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

            } 

            return true;

        }

Hello,

I'm using cake 2.1 with AuthComponent and standard data modelusers.

How I can edit a user without changing the password?

For example, add a check "I want to change the password." If thischeck is true then I make a hash of the password and keep it inserted.Otherwise I do not modify the password field.
How do I add this check and then check it in my beforeSave() function?

Another option I can think of is to leave the password field empty when I go to edit a user (unset ($ this-> request-> data ['User'] ['password']) ;)and then check if the password is empty or not. But .... when I insert a new user the password field should be mandatory ....

Do you have any ideas?

thanks
