Hello… I have started to play with YII in order to program a web application, but i have a problem with validating a form.
The form is simple and is about creating a new user (used by an administrator).
I have a password field that belong to a database table, but I need to have a password2 field that doesn’t belong to the users table. I need to perform 2 validations: password2 must be required and password2 must be equal to password.
If I add password2 field using CHtml::activePasswordField, an exception is thrown telling that password2 is not an attribute of the model. When I use CHtml::passwordField, no exception is thrown but the field becomes not required.
in order to make your password_repeat field be a member of User model. So, you can now do whatever you want with this variable in context of the model class (for example, to add it as a safeAttribute)
Hello! thanks for answering, but I have the problem that the password_repeat field keeps validating for required field, even when it is not empty.
This is the code for the model:
class Usuario extends CActiveRecord
{
/**
* The followings are the available columns in table 'Usuario':
* @var integer $usr_id
* @var string $username
* @var string $password
* @var string $nombres
* @var string $apellidos
* @var integer $administrator
* @var string $email
* @var string $ultima_conexion
* @var string $fecha_creacion
* @var string $fecha_modificacion
*/
public $password_repeat;
/**
* Returns the static model of the specified AR class.
* @return CActiveRecord the static model class
*/
public static function model($className=__CLASS__)
{
return parent::model($className);
}
/**
* @return string the associated database table name
*/
public function tableName()
{
return 'Usuario';
}
/**
* @return array validation rules for model attributes.
*/
public function rules()
{
return array(
array('username, password, password_repeat, nombres, apellidos, email', 'required'),
array('username','length','max'=>50),
array('password','length','max'=>50),
array('email','length','max'=>80),
array('email','email'),
array('password_repeat', 'compare', 'compareAttribute'=>'password', 'on'=>'register'),
);
}
/**
* @return array relational rules.
*/
public function relations()
{
// NOTE: you may need to adjust the relation name and the related
// class name for the relations automatically generated below.
return array(
);
}
/**
* @return array customized attribute labels (name=>label)
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return array(
'usr_id'=>'ID',
'username'=>'Usuario',
'password'=>'Contraseña',
'password_repeat'=>'Repita Contraseña',
'nombres'=>'Nombres',
'apellidos'=>'Apellidos',
'email'=>'Email',
'administrador'=>'Administrador',
);
}
public function safeAttributes()
{
return array(
parent::safeAttributes(),
'login' => 'username, password',
);
}
}
I have followed the tutorial but I have the problem that the password_repeat field is not posted, or if it is posted, it is lost somewhere.
for example, if I write an echo to the actionCreate method, I got the exception that the password_repeat is not an index of attributes array (when I use echo $model->attributes[‘password_repeat’]). When I use $model->password_repeat I only get an empty string.
Notice that always validation returns true, meaning that the rule evaluates correctly, so the problem is after posting of the form.
public function actionCreate()
{
$model=new Usuario;
if(isset($_POST['Usuario']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['Usuario'];
echo '--->' . $model->password_repeat; // this shows an empty string even if the field was actually filled (and compared correctly with "password" field)
//exit();
if($model->save())
$this->redirect(array('show','id'=>$model->usr_id));
}
$this->render('create',array('model'=>$model));
}
