registrationinfo.tpl password

Hello,

When using user/register module, eZ sends an email to confirm login/email to new user, using registrationinfo.tpl. Searching on PHP side, eZ does not display the user password.

Most websites do that to confirm once the login/email/password. I might be wrong, but is it a willing behaviour?

Thanks,

Can you explain a little more clear what you're trying to accomplish?

You want to display the actual password a user typed within the registration email or in the actual registration confirmation page?

It sounds like you might have looked into the default user/register module already. However, make sure to see if the password is available in plain text to the template (which I doubt) in the default user/register module. If so, then it's just a matter of finding the right variable available to the template. Otherwise, you need to code a separate module/view (or hack the kernel which I do not recommend).

 

Good luck, hope this helps.

Hi,

I just want to display the password in the email sent to the user after using default user/register module. After searching in the PHP code, I found that there is no $password variable set to the template.

I just need confirmation that the password is not displayed in the last versions of eZ.

Thanks,

In the template for the sent email (User/registrationinfo.tpl) you have two variables defined, $object and $user. The first is the ezcontentobject belonging to the registered user, and the second is the ezuser of the registered user.

I think they can both be used to display the password.

Hi,

I guess the default registrationinfo.tpl needs to be updated, the $user variable does not contain any password, except password_hash, which is standard.

Thanks for your answer.

Does the $object variable maybe contain the password?

Nop, the password cannot be shown, as it is encrypted in the DB.

Then you might consider taking the default registration module and hack it. More specifically I mean create a new extension for the new module with proper templates and some PHP code to intercept the password in plain text and as a hash for the DB transaction.

 

Hope this helps.

If this template is fired from user/register, then you might also have the password available in a POST variable.

Hi,

Thanks for your answers. Actually, I know how to hack code to get the password or create a custom module based on user/register, but I was thinking that it was strange that default eZ behaviour would not send password at the registration step, using user/register.

Thanks again.

True that it might be considered strange, but also consider it to be a built-in security feature that the password is not available in a transition type of action on the server (form submit to email notification). One less point if exploitation is better than storing the plain-text password in several locations where it could be exploited (sever memory, database, within the script itself and possible vulnerable to XSS not likely..but still possible).

I could be wrong but give it a shot and good luck. :)

Actually, now that I thing about it... the $password variable is defined in user/registrationinfo.tpl template and it contains the user's password.

I remember using it many times and I just tested it on a 4.4 installation.

Also, this variable is used in design/standard/templates/user/registrationinfo.tpl.
