cb plugin generate password

Hi!

I'm trying to build a registration form using the cb plugin and want the password to be automatically generated. I know this is possible with the Joomla registration plugin but how do I do it with the CB plugin?


Thanks

Hi Adam,

I added that extra code to the Joomla Registration plugin but have never done the same for the CB version. If you look at the Joomla version you should find the code that you could copy into the before box for the CB plugin.

Hello. Thanks for the quick reply!

I tried pasting the following code into the before box

<?php
jimport('joomla.user.helper');
$post['password'] = $post['password2'] = JUserHelper::genRandomPassword();
?>

however the registration email still has a blank space where it says password so I assume its not being generated for some reason.

Hi Adam,

From a quick at the plugin code I think that those values are being overwritten. In the Plugin configuration make sure that you have password and password2 in the two password fields on the General tab.

Greetings,

Need an expert review on this,
I had activated auto password. The email to the use is just fine.
I used code {password} for auto password in email template for the user. But email looks like this:

Once you confirm your email address, you will be notified by email of the progress of your registration process.

Email : adfdd@gmail.com
Username : adfdd
Password: {password}

On activating debug I had the following information:

$post: Array ( [username] => adfdd [email] => adfdd@gmail.com [typeof_registration] => RAK Civil Services Employees [name] => sadf [lastname] => ABC [radio0] => Male [nationality] => United Arab Emirates [job_title] => sadfasdf [department] => asdf [emirates] => [add1] => [add2] => [city] => [state] => [pobox] => [country] => [telephone] => [mobile] => [chrono_verification] => nhins [button_7] => Submit [06c3f6758803902fe223b0bcc87b1728] => 1 [1cf1] => ada6ae91db3ba6e56ea39e064005324e [chronoformname] => Registration [recordtime] => 2011-09-27 - 01:54:21 [ipaddress] => 186.278.121.106 [uid] => IMWI0MzkxNGYzZTJl407fa54b7a81cb7145d90e6503a8049f [cf_user_id] => 0 [password2] => bjVDa48w [password] => bjVDa48w )

Here password and password2 are showing its value but not in email. Where I am wrong? 😟
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Webveinds.

Please try {password2} in the email. I think one of them gets deleted after the User is created.

Bob

Hi,

{password2} is also not working. This comes in the email now.

Email : webveins@gmail.com
Username : adsf
Password: {password2}

How can it be fixed?

Hi webveins ,

I'm struggling a bit to work out what is happening here. I don't have CB installed to test with and neither Max nor I are CB users :-(

Are you using the Joomla! email or a ChronoForms email?

Checking the code the standard Joomla! Registration email looks as though it should work OK.
