Notice (8): Undefined index: password_confirm

thanks and regardss

I think you might have an error in your code however as I was unable to get the password recovery function to work. I think I fixed it, but would like some feedback to make sure I’ve done it correctly.

In the /users_controller.php file, within the verify() method, you had this:

if ($data == $Token->get($token))

But this was just producing an error stating that the token value must be incorrect, in addition to a php notice saying that the variable $data didn’t exist.

I fixed this by replacing the line above with this:

$data = $Token->get($token);
if ($data)

And it is now working as intended. Does this sound about right to you?

(PS, I’m also using Cake 1.3, so I also had to replace the $this->del line in token.php with $this->delete to make it compatable)

Great tutorial.

Just one little thing: In step 3 – Create a Login Page, you add this line of code to the users_controller to update the lastlogin field when a user logs in:

$this->User->saveField(‘lastlogin’, date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’));

Problem with this is that it will also update the modified field.
To prevent the modified field from being updated, you need to use $this->User->save() instead, like this:

$this->User->save(array(‘lastlogin’ => date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’), ‘modified’ => false), false, array(‘lastlogin’));

Setting modified to false in the$data array – first element in the save() call – ensures the modified field won’t be updated.

When I run http://localhost/users/recover, it goes to the “account” function and displays the view to change the password. I cannot get it to present a recovery page.

I downloaded the source for the tutorial, mainly because I was worried I may have made some undetectable typos. The downloaded source causes a failure in the webroot/index.php for an invalid CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH constant. Fortunately, I had saved the original webroot and config folders and the failure is corrected. I’m using CakePHP 1.2.

I would very much appreciate any assistance to help me understand what I’m doing wrong.

Thank you.

New to cakephp, and I have just one problem (FYI, I installed from the downloadable source) and the “Old password” in the account page always shows “Does not match”.

I suspect this is something to do with the hashing, but could you please let me know what I can do to correct it? Any debugging pointers will be helpful too.
