Account already existing

[mathieu-lecoeur]

When trying to create an account that already exist this message appear : "Error creating account.Wrong password".
The account is not created.

Solution :

• Adding a new button to check if the username already exist.
• when the textbox "login" loose the focus automatically test if it already exist.
• Block the submit button if the account exist.

OS : All
Browser : All
Reproductibility : yes

Well done, you just submitted issue #42.

Anyway, the solution you're describing is merely a JS fix. I'll add a proper PHP fix. Later on, I'll see for adding a JS form verification.

Also, it raises the problem that, AFAIK, there is no way to change the password of an existing user (except manually editing the .rights.xml and replacing the sha1, of course).

[thibaud-rohmer]

If a user forgets his password, just delete him and let him create his
account again. I'll see about letting you change users passwords later. :)

ymorin,

Actually yes there is a way for a user to change his password. He have to click on his name on the top of the web page.

mathieu-lecoeur,
I was thinking about the case when a user forgets the password, and wants a new one generated.

For now, I can manage a manual edit of the xml to past the sha1 of the new password. Given the number of users I have, that's not a big issue. Hehe! :-)

Hi,

Can i integrate that (https://github.com/posabsolute/jQuery-Validation-Engine) kind of verification ?
I used it in other project and it's a nice one.

What do you think ?
