Anyone have any ideas why this cb auto action is breaking the password encryption from working when a new user registers ?

Password gets stored in readable plain text format

Krileon - seen this before or any hunches please?

OK got it king by doing the following

Trigger = onAfterUserRegistration

Position = FIRST (in auto actions ordering)

Params: Reload User = Yes / Format Sunctions = yes

Conditions: [var1_cb_resume] is not empty (make sure something was uploaded!)

Code: Notice I'm using var_ before all field names EXCEPT userid which I assume is only just being assigned at this point so can;t use new value?

Anyway this is now working for me and user passwords are again being stored encrypted! :)
Code:
jimport('joomla.filesystem.folder'); $basePath = JPATH_SITE . '/images/comprofiler/plug_cbfilefield/[user_id]'; $oldPath = $basePath . '/[var1_cb_resume]'; $fileExt = JFile::getExt('[var1_cb_resume]'); $newFilename = '[cb:parse function="clean" method="string"][var1_firstname][/cb:parse]_[cb:parse function="clean" method="string"][var1_lastname][/cb:parse]_[user_id].'.$fileExt; if ( file_exists( $oldPath ) ) { @rename( $oldPath, $basePath . '/' . $newFilename ); $user->set( 'cb_resume', $newFilename ); $user->store(); }

Just null the password before storing. Example as follows.

$user->set( 'password', null );

The password store will then be ignored for your user store call. For an action like this though yes I recommend using Reload User. This is only an issue for actions directly after registration where the plaintext password still exists during the registration operation and a reload user or null of password should prevent such issues.

Thank you for explaining that

I set it to reload user and that seems to fix it for me :)

Actually I found that this was also an issue when editing your profile in admin area ONLY If you added new passwords at same time as uploading a new file as like you say the passwords are being submitted in plain text format at that point.

Setting reload user to yes on these triggers also helped to fix this....

Wow its taking me over 1.5 days to just code this simple filename rename process :)

phew! done....

Yes, it'll affect store behaviors where the password has changed since the plaintext password is still in the user object. Without a Reload User or null of the password it'll store that plaintext password. It's kept in object for things like emails or synchronization plugin; so it has a use, but for you it becomes an issue. The Field action and several other actions protect against these issues, but the Code action doesn't null it for you as there could be a use for it.
