How does user change their own password?
How does a non-globeadmin user change their own password?
I am using nubuilder-v2.7.4.11-12.10.24-Build529 on Ubuntu 12.10 browsing with Chromium 22.0.1229.94.
What is the standard way to enable a user to change their own password? Do I have to setup all the bits to enable them access to the Users form, but only for the current user? Is there a recipe for this? Or am I missing something?

tschutter,
There is no facility at this point, you could create your own or make it the admin's job.

Re: How does user change their own password?
tschutter,
You could create a new form with sql
Add In the custom code of the form:
Set 2 textfields on that form sus_name(read only) and sus_login_password
Now the user can update his own password.

You could create a new form with sql
Code: Select all
SELECT * FROM `zzsys_user` WHERE zzsys_user_id = '#zzsys_user_id#'
Code: Select all
if('#sus_login_password_was#' != '#sus_login_password#'){
$s = "update zzsys_user set sus_login_password = md5(CONCAT('nu',sus_login_password)) ";
$s .= "WHERE zzsys_user_id = '#newID#'";
nuRunQuery($s);
}
Now the user can update his own password.

Re: How does user change their own password?
Johan-
I'm trying to implement this.
Which sub-tab of Custom Code would this go in?
![Image](http://content.screencast.com/users/UEM_image/folders/Default/media/d6428b78-740d-4e0b-ad8d-55ac129e19c7/custom_code.png)
"After Save"?
Has anyone else successfully done this?
Many thanks!

Re: How does user change their own password?
mlgeek,
One option would be to make a form (example for zzsys_variable- It does not matter)
make one text field ..name it password_holder
add After Save:
Make a button and on the Button properties set 'Form To Launch via Browse' the form u made, and set 'Record ID' -1 (impotant).
Give the user access to the button.
Now a user can change his password.
This is a general idea ..u should play around with md5 like johan mentioned, and maybe add a second field just to check that the user are entering the same value twice

Re: How does user change their own password?
Solved, I think.
I ended up doing what johan had suggested. It is worth noting, though, that what he suggested was essentially making a copy of the existing USERS form (a set-up form that is not, by default, available to edit in-browser.
In hopes that this is useful to someone else:
I had hoped that the user would be able to skip the Browse/Search screen and go straight to the record edit screen if I specified the Record ID for the button as #zzsys_user_id#, but that doesn't seem to work- it results in an edit screen that shows all fields as blank. I suspect I'm doing something very stupid here, though, and that I'll kick myself when I figure it out.

In hopes that this is useful to someone else:
- Created new Form, change_password
Code: Select all
SELECT * FROM zzsys_user WHERE zzsys_user_id='#zzsys_user_id#'
- Created needed fields:
- Set sus_login_password_was to never display:
- Set sus_name and sus_login_name to read-only on the Text tab for each field.
- In the form's Custom Code tab, used johan's template in After Save
Code: Select all
if('#sus_login_password_was#' != '#sus_login_password#'){ $s = "update zzsys_user set sus_login_password = md5(CONCAT('nu',sus_login_password)) "; $s .= "WHERE zzsys_user_id = '#newID#'"; nuRunQuery($s); }
- Created index button for "Change Your Password" that launches this new form.
I had hoped that the user would be able to skip the Browse/Search screen and go straight to the record edit screen if I specified the Record ID for the button as #zzsys_user_id#, but that doesn't seem to work- it results in an edit screen that shows all fields as blank.

My suggestion is doing exactly thatI had hoped that the user would be able to skip the Browse/Search screen and go straight to the record edit screen
