Hell Yarko,
Thanks for the note but you didn't really understand the problem, i do
know about the decorator and use it on my app.. My application has a
functionality that allow users to change their email (The email they
provide during registration process) and to do so they have to provide
their password so i can verify the password before changing the email
since changing the email is a sensitive process...
I wanted to know How to verify the password since the password is save
as an encrypted string...
here is what i did in my action class:
....
users = auth.db((db.auth_user.id == session.auth.user.id)&
(db.auth_user.oldemail == request.vars.oldemail)).select()
if users:
user = users[0]
if user['password'] != request.vars.get('password',''):
# the password not valid don't update the new email
else:
# password is valid and update the email
db(db.auth_user.id == session.auth.user.id).update
(email=request.vars.newEmail)
....
This password verification is not working and I was wondering how can
I make it work... I think its a very small thing that I'm missing...
Thanks again,
Yannick P.
