How to change user password in CakePhp using Auth

Hi All,

In this blog we will discuss how to change the password in cakePhp by using Auth.

Firstly, in your model you have to define a function beforeSave which will hash your password to auth password, you can do this by writing the below code:

1. public function beforeSave($options = array()) {
2. 
   
3.       if (isset($this->data[$this->alias]['password'])) {
4. 
   
5.       $this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data[$this->alias]['password']);
6.       }
7.       return true;
8.   }

In your change Password function you have to write-

1.   public function changePassword() {
2. 
   
3.       if ($this->data) {
4.           if (!empty($this->data['User']['password']) && !empty($this->data['User']['repassword'])) {

Simple Cakephp Pagination

Cakephp provides a quick an easy way to paginate data.
In the controller we start by creating the pagination condition as given below :

1. public $paginate = array(
2. 'limit' => 10,
3. 'order' => array(
4. 'Model.fieldname' => 'asc'
5. )
6. );
7. public function listdetails(){
8. $variable = $this->paginate("Model", array('Model.fieldname' =>'1'));
9. }

Write the following code in the view where pagination has to be displayed here the view name is listdetails.ctp

1. <?php
2. echo $this->paginator->prev('<<Previous', null, null, null);
3. echo $this->paginator->numbers();echo "&nbsp;|";
4. echo $this->paginator->next('Next>>', null, null, null);
