Hi there.
I have made use of this very handy tutorial that helped me set up a
user authentication system within about 10 mins.
I added an extra function which is basically the ability to allow
users to request a new password, user receives an email with the new
password, however this password is the already hashed password, NOT
WHAT I WANT.
Do you know where I could be going wrong?
Below is the code
VIEW
<?php
echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'forgotpassword'));
echo $form->input('email', array('label' => ''));
echo $form->end('Reset Password');
?>
CONTROLLER
function forgotpassword() {
if(!empty($this->data)) {
$this->User->recursive = 0;
$user =
$this->User->findByEmail($this->data['User']['email']);
if($user) {
$user['User']['tmp_password'] =
$this->User->createTempPassword
(7);
$user['User']['password'] =
$this->Auth->password($user['User']
['tmp_password']);
if($this->User->save($user, false)) {
// send a mail to finish the
registration
$this->Email->to = $this->data['User']['email'];
$this->Email->subject = 'XYZ new password';
$this->Email->replyTo = '[email protected]';
$this->Email->from = 'XYZ New Password
<[email protected]>';
$this->Email->sendAs = 'text';
$this->Email->charset = 'utf-8';
$body = "Please visit
http://localhost:8888/xyz/users/login.
Your new password: {$user['User']['password']}";
if ($this->Email->send($body)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Your new password
has been sent, please check your inbox', true), 'warning');
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Failed to send the
confirmation email. Please contact the administrator at supp...@xxx',
true), 'error');
}
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'login'));
}
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('No user was found
with the submitted
email address.');
}
}
}
MODEL
function createTempPassword($len) {
$pass = '';
$lchar = 0;
$char = 0;
for($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
while($char == $lchar) {
$char = rand(48, 109);
if($char > 57) $char += 7;
if($char > 90) $char += 6;
}
$pass .= chr($char);
$lchar = $char;
}
return $pass;
}
