Update user Password

Hi there,

I'm making a edit profile form, and have a issue to solve.

How to update user password?

I'm making the saving in db by php, not a db save action.
And, until better solution, I'm saving the user avatar with a file upload action (but i want to make it with php too because I don't know how to change the name of file and/or catch/insert the name in the db)

I'm updating 3 tables in my form:
(Joomla)users->email/password
(CB)comprofiler->Self Data (name, location, occupation, avatar...)
(Custom/HybridAuth)->proveider_uid, password(encrypted by custom function),....

The problem here is how to update in user table :/

Please help.

Hi BN,

By far the easiest way is to use the Joomla! User methods in a Custom Code action.

Hi,

I found a solution. 
$salt = JUserHelper::genRandomPassword(32);
$crypt = JUserHelper::getCryptedPassword($form->data['newPass'], $salt);
$password = $crypt.':'.$salt;


Thanks for your help Bob🙂
