Hi,
I'm creating my first cakePHP driven website but am having a little
problem with the user registration area. I've set up a form with the
usual user signup stuff - email, name, password and password
confirmation - but when the form submits it doesn't validate the
password nor does it flag an error if the passwords don't compare.
I've set up the model with the validation like this:
var $validate = array(
'realname' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
'username' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
'email' => VALID_EMAIL,
'password' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
);
My view looks like this:
<?php echo $html->formTag('/users/register/signup'); ?>
<div class="required">
<label for="user_username">Username</label>
<?php echo $html->input('User/username', array('id' =>
'user_username', 'size' => '40')) ?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('User/username_taken', 'This
username has already been taken. Please select another.') ?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('User/username_format', 'The
username must consist of only a-z and be at least four characters
long.') ?>
</div>
<div class="required">
<label for="user_email">Email</label>
<?php echo $html->input('User/email', array('id' => 'user_email',
'size' => '40')) ?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('User/email', 'Error message for
email goes here.') ?>
</div>
<div class="required">
<label for="user_password">Password</label>
<?php echo $html->password('User/password', array('id' =>
'user_password', 'size' => '40')) ?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('User/password', 'The password needs
to be at least six characters long.') ?>
</div>
<div class="required">
<label for="user_password2">Confirm password</label>
<?php echo $html->password('User/password2', array('id' =>
'user_password2', 'size' => '40')) ?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('User/password2', 'Passwords do not
match') ?>
</div>
<div class="required">
<label for="user_realname">Realname</label>
<?php echo $html->input('User/realname', array('id' =>
'user_realname', 'size' => '40')) ?>
<?php echo $html->tagErrorMsg('User/realname', 'Error message for
realname goes here.') ?>
</div>
<div class="submit"><?php echo $html->submit('Register'); ?></div>
</form>
and the 'register' action in the Users controller looks like this:
function register()
{
$path = $stage = null;
if (func_num_args()) {
$path = func_get_args();
$stage = $path[0];
}
switch($stage) {
case 'terms':
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->data['User']['agree']) {
$this->redirect('/users/register/signup');
} else {
$this->User->invalidate('agree');
}
}
$this->render('register/terms');
break;
case 'signup':
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$user =
$this->User->findByUsername($this->data['User']['username']);
if (!empty($user['User']['username'])) {
$this->User->invalidate('username_taken');
}
if (strlen($this->data['User']['username']) < 4 ||
!preg_match('/^([a-z]+)$/i', $this->data['User']['username'])) {
$this->User->invalidate('username_format');
}
if (strlen($pass) < 6) {
$this->User->invalidate('password');
}
if ($pass != $this->data['User']['password2']) {
$this->User->invalidate('password2');
}
$pass = $this->data['User']['password'];
$this->data['User']['password'] = md5($pass);
if ($this->User->save($this->data)) {
$this->redirect('/users/register/verify');
} else {
$this->data['User']['password'] = $pass;
$this->validateErrors($this->User);
}
}
$this->render('register/signup');
break;
case 'verify':
$this->render('register/verify');
break;
}
}
I know I could have it as different actions, but I kind of want the url
to be like 'users/register/terms', 'users/register/signup' and so on.
The field 'password2' isn't in the database - it's just used to make
sure they have put in the correct password.
Anyway, can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong here, or possibly
recommend a much better way of going about this?
There are a couple other issues besides the passwords not comparing...
When the save happens the 'created' field doesn't automatically get
populated though the 'modified' one does - not sure why that would be.
Also, I have a few more fields in the database that I want to have
populated, such as the ip address they signed up from, a unique token
for sending a validation email, things of that nature. Do I have to
just add the information in to the controller $data array and then do
the call to save?
Any help would really, REALLY be appreciated!!
Many thanks,
Andy
