Updating user password in Yii

Question

Yii

Good evening!
Tell me how to make sure that when updating a user's record, his password does not change. there is md5, and where is it better to encrypt it in md5 when registering / changing a password, I do this in beforeSave, but I ran into a problem that when editing a record, the existing hash is again hashed.

Thank you.

Answer 1

In "pure" yii, there is no db-authorization. Most likely you are using either some kind of skeleton (assembly) or an extension.
You need to look at UserIdenity, WebUser, but first of all, the code of the model, such as user.

Answer 2

public function beforeSave() {
  if ($this->isNewRecord)
     $this->password = md5($this->password);
  return parent::beforeSave();
}

Answer 3

Years of practice with Yii has shown that putting code that changes data in beforeSave should only be done when absolutely necessary. In most cases, it is better to move the code into a separate method and call it from the controller - and such problems do not arise, and it is easier to understand the code later. Also, if you have to change field data before saving / retrieving, it is often easier to spend time creating a form, rather than working directly through the model.
