Looking for the Joomla password checking - joomla

Question

I search and I can not find the piece of code implemented for checking the password provided by user during registration. That's the code who check if there has the correct number of characters. .. the many figures and many symbols ... etc.
I believe that's this function is implemented since joomla 3.0, my version is joomla 3.2
I would like to "copy" this code for one of my joomla personal scripts.
I searched the in the controllers and models of "com_users", and in plugin "users" without success.
I also studied the bind() methode and save() methode of class JUser but I found nothing.
Does anyone know where this code? I would be saving valuable time.

Answer 1

It is in a jform : components/com_users/models/forms/registration.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<form>
<fieldset name="default"
label="COM_USERS_REGISTRATION_DEFAULT_LABEL"
>
<!-- STUFF HERE -->
<field name="password2" type="password"
autocomplete="off"
class="validate-password"
description="COM_USERS_DESIRED_PASSWORD"
field="password1"
filter="raw"
label="COM_USERS_PROFILE_PASSWORD1_LABEL"
message="COM_USERS_PROFILE_PASSWORD1_MESSAGE"
size="30"
validate="equals"
required="true"
/>
<field name="password1" type="password"
autocomplete="off"
class="validate-password"
description="COM_USERS_PROFILE_PASSWORD2_DESC"
filter="raw"
label="COM_USERS_PROFILE_PASSWORD2_LABEL"
size="30"
validate="password"
required="true"
/>
<!-- OTHER STUFF THERE -->
</fieldset>
</form>
And in libraries folder : libraries/joomla/form/fields/password.php
/**
* Method to attach a JForm object to the field.
*
* #param SimpleXMLElement $element The SimpleXMLElement object representing the <field /> tag for the form field object.
* #param mixed $value The form field value to validate.

* For example if the field has name="foo" and the group value is set to "bar" then the
* full field name would end up being "bar[foo]".
*
* #return boolean True on success.

*/
public function setup(SimpleXMLElement $element, $value, $group = null)
{
$return = parent::setup($element, $value, $group);
if ($return)
{
$this->maxLength = $this->element['maxlength'] ? (int) $this->element['maxlength'] : 99;
$this->threshold = $this->element['threshold'] ? (int) $this->element['threshold'] : 66;
$meter = (string) $this->element['strengthmeter'];
$this->meter = ($meter == 'true' || $meter == 'on' || $meter == '1');
}
return $return;
}
/**

*

* #since 11.1
*/
protected function getInput()
{
// Translate placeholder text
$hint = $this->translateHint ? JText::_($this->hint) : $this->hint;
// Initialize some field attributes.
$size = !empty($this->size) ? ' size="' . $this->size . '"' : '';
$maxLength = !empty($this->maxLength) ? ' maxlength="' . $this->maxLength . '"' : '';
$class = !empty($this->class) ? ' class="' . $this->class . '"' : '';
$readonly = $this->readonly ? ' readonly' : '';
$disabled = $this->disabled ? ' disabled' : '';
$required = $this->required ? ' required aria-required="true"' : '';
$hint = $hint ? ' placeholder="' . $hint . '"' : '';
$autocomplete = !$this->autocomplete ? ' autocomplete="off"' : '';
$autofocus = $this->autofocus ? ' autofocus' : '';
if ($this->meter)
{
JHtml::_('script', 'system/passwordstrength.js', true, true);
$script = 'new Form.PasswordStrength("' . $this->id . '",
{
threshold: ' . $this->threshold . ',
onUpdate: function(element, strength, threshold) {
element.set("data-passwordstrength", strength);
}
}
);';
// Load script on document load.
JFactory::getDocument()->addScriptDeclaration(
"jQuery(document).ready(function(){" . $script . "});"
);
}
// Including fallback code for HTML5 non supported browsers.
JHtml::_('jquery.framework');
JHtml::_('script', 'system/html5fallback.js', false, true);
return '<input type="password" name="' . $this->name . '" id="' . $this->id . '"' .
' value="' . htmlspecialchars($this->value, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '"' . $hint . $autocomplete .
$class . $readonly . $disabled . $size . $maxLength . $required . $autofocus . ' />';
}
I think it is what you want.
If you're lost with Joomla Jforms, then use jquery validation plugin. Its documentation.

You can create plugin that check if password is valid and return true is yes;
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die ;
class plgUserHookbizz extends JPlugin {
function onUserBeforeSave($user,$options)
{
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
// Joomla session parameters
$userId = $user['id'];
$name = $user['name'];
$password = $user['password'];
$username = $user['username'];
$email = $user['email'];
if($this->validate($password)){
return true;
}else{
$app->enqueueMessage('Please enter a valid password');
return false;
}
}
function validate($password){
//Your validation here
//Return true if valid
return true;
}
}
