encrypted password

animalio 03 Jan, 2013
I have problem with saving password to database. I´m use joomla 2.5 - and I´m expanded the table jos_user and now I using my form to save data. Everything working perfect, only my password saving as I enter it during registration.

What script I use, when I want to save encrypted data of the password?

Please, help me...

P.S.: sorry form my ugly english🙂

Hi animalio ,

I strongly recommend that you do not alter the core Joomla! tables :-(

If you use the ChronoForms Joomla! Registration action then it will handle the password correctly for you; if you decide to do this yourself then please check the Joomla! files for the correct code to use. Joomla! stored only a hashed version of the password and there are methods for creating the hash but you need to get them exactly correct.

Thanks for your answer,

ChronoForms Joomla! Registration works absolutly perfect. But I want to have more items in my form (tel. number, adress, etc..).. I alter my Joomla! table (#_user) - and everything works perfectly.
Only the password - I do not know how to properly store the database😟

Can you tell me which Joomla! files should I to check?

Hi animalio,

Please check the Joomla! code or maybe the Joomla! documents.
