Dealing with password field in editor, please help.

edanyildiz

Dear All,

I have a scenerio like below,
It is already working, but there is a problem;

• When the user details are edited, it's working like a charm. Since the pass field is empty editor does not update the pass.
• But when i create a new user, i need to validate if the pass if empty.

How can i enable validation only in create mode?

Field::inst( 'users.user_pass' )
   //->validator( 'Validate::notEmpty' )
   ->setFormatter( function ( $val ) { return password_hash($val, PASSWORD_DEFAULT); } )
   ->getFormatter( function ( $val, $data, $opts ) { return null;})
        )

    //if edit mode and password is blank, do not save.
    ->on( 'preEdit', function ( $e, $id, $values ) {
    if ( $values['users']['user_pass'] === '' ) {
    $e->field( 'users.user_pass' )->set( false );
    }
    } )


    ->process( $_POST )

    ->json();

Hi,

This sounds like a perfect use case for server-side events. Use the preCreate event to add another validator to the users.user_pass field which requires the user to submit a value.

This is how I resolved it:

 editor.on( 'preSubmit', function ( e, o, action ) {
    if ( action == 'create' ) {
        // stuff
        var password = editor.field('password');
        var password2 = editor.field('password2');

        if(!password.isMultiValue()) {
            if (!password.val()) {
                password.error('Password must be provided for administrative privileges');
            }

            if (password.val().length >= 40) {
                password.error('The password length must be less than 40 characters');
            }

            if (password.val() != password2.val()) {
                password.error('Passwords do no match')
             }
         }
     }

     if ( this.inError() ) {
         return false;
      }
  }
} );

You can validate it before it is passed to the server.

Thank you All.
Both of the solutions are good, i think i am going to use Allan's server side solution.

working like a charm :9
Here is the working code.
Thanks.

       Field::inst( 'users.user_pass' )
   ->setFormatter( function ( $val ) { return password_hash($val, PASSWORD_DEFAULT); } )
   ->getFormatter( function ( $val, $data, $opts ) { return null;})
    )

    //if edit mode and password is blank, do not save.
    ->on( 'preEdit', function ( $e, $id, $values ) {
    if ( $values['users']['user_pass'] === '' ) {
    $e->field( 'users.user_pass' )->set( false );
    }
    } )


    //if create - validate for pass
    ->on( 'preCreate', function ( $editor, $values ) {
    $editor
    ->field( 'users.user_pass' )
    ->validator( 'Validate::notEmpty' );
    } )

    ->process( $_POST )

    ->json();
