Is there a better way to change user password in cakephp using Auth?
- by sipiatti
Hi, I am learning cakephp by myself. I tried to create a user controller with a changepassword function. It works, but I am not sure if this is the best way, and I could not googled up useful tutorials on this.
Here is my code:
class UsersController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Users';
function login() {
}
function logout() {
$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
function changepassword() {
$session=$this->Session->read();
$id=$session['Auth']['User']['id'];
$user=$this->User->find('first',array('conditions' => array('id' => $id)));
$this->set('user',$user);
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->Auth->password($this->data['User']['password'])==$user['User']['password']) {
if ($this->data['User']['passwordn']==$this->data['User']['password2']) {
// Passwords match, continue processing
$data=$this->data;
$this->data=$user;
$this->data['User']['password']=$this->Auth->password($data['User']['passwordn']);
$this->User->id=$id;
$this->User->save($this->data);
$this->Session->setFlash('Password changed.');
$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'Toners','action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('New passwords differ.');
}
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Typed passwords did not match.');
}
}
}
}
password is the old password, passwordn is the new one, password2 is the new one retyped.
Is there any other, more coomon way to do it in cake?
