How to set a random password for useractivation in Chronoforms 6

galbur 12 Jun, 2019

Hi

In the Version 5 i had the "User Registration" Action with email activation, random password, Send Joomla activation and so on.
I miss this in Version 6. How can i set a Random Password for example?

Thank you
Best regards
Christoph

Hi Christophe,

There are some suggestions here

Put a PHP block before your user registration, call it "password"

$alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUWXYZ0123456789";
$pass = [];
    for ($i = 0; $i < 8; $i++) {
        $n = rand(0, count($alphabet)-1);
        $pass[$i] = $alphabet[$n];
    }
    return $pass;

Then use {var:password} in your user registration action.

Hi Bob and healyhatman

Thanks for helping!
Maybe i did something wrong?
So i have the customcode before the joomla user action:

The PHP code looks like this:

Then i have var:password in the password field provider

PHP block not custom code block.

Hi,

Not tested but I think that needs an implode($pass, ''); before the return line.

Hi
Thank you. So i tried to use the code with a php-block. I'm not shure. Do i have to use the php code with or without <?php ?> Brackets within the php-block?
So anyway it doesn't work.

This is my setup :
