Joomla Login

Hi
Forum search has not worked for me for the last few days - gateway timeout - so cant search for possible solutions.
​
Cannot login in to Joomla front end with the Joomla Login module - get username and password do not match. Validation works and Recaptcha works.
Can login with V5 form but not V6. Insufficient documentation in the v6 manual so not sure what's wrong.
​
Thanks for help.

Well your validate data action should be BEFORE Joomla Login action, right? And you have a screenshot of your Joomla login action on CFv5, how about one for your v6 form you're having trouble with?

True. Have put validation before Login
​

Great now use {data:username} and {data:password} if those are in fact the field names

Yes table fields are called username and password. Also the form field names are username and password.
Cache is cleared. Getting an error messg that just says Password.

Well how sure are you that your password is correct?

Hi hangbill,
​
I'm not sure if I am understanding this correctly but you should **never** store clear text user passwords in your database tables. It is a major security risk.

Not sure what's happened, but it's working now. Was using the correct password because was able to login in using the v5 form. Anyway seems a magic overnight fix has sorted it out because I didn't do anything different this morning, just logged in and it worked. The password in the db isn't clear text, looks like this $2y$10$9rsLaBX84E1vyQHSbCuUp.SomR427MOb4hrxrBPK6VuaLrsdHIQq4Op
Thanks for the help Healyhatman and Bob

Yep password is not stored in plain text because that would be terrible.
