Client Password Options

[bill09]

Hi Ben,

Two things:
1. When adding a new client under Admin, I'd like to use an email address in the 'password' field, but it only allows alpha-numeric chars (is there a max amount of chars?).
Where can I change or disable that validation?

I looked in the add.php file and found:

rules.push("is_alpha,password,{$LANG 'validation_invalid_client_password']}");

Tried changing 'is_alpha' to 'valid_email' but got the same result.

2. If item #1 is can be done, then I'd like to give them the ability to show the password while typing since email addresses can be long.

Something like this: http://ajaxdump.com/2009/08/19/show-pass...ry-plugin/

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill,

You'll also need to tweak the ft_add_client() function, found at the top of /global/code/administrator.php.

Hope this helps!

By the way, it looks like in 2.0.2 I'll be adding some new security measures - including options for the password itself, length, contents, and other such stuff. The default settings will be just like now, but for those instances where security is a concern, you can add a few checks to ensure the passwords meet a certain criteria. I'll be sure to include the option to control the characters permitted.
