get the password after user registration?

Hi,

I'm trying to use PHP script plugin to create a user on a different system using some PHP curl commands.

What I would like to get working is that after the user registered and subscribed to a plan, my PHP script creates the user with same username and password on my other system.

Problem is that I don't know if or how I can retrieve the password the user entered when he registered for the plan.
There is no problem to get the username and email with $row->username and $row->email, but $row->user_password is always empty.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Or am I using wrong approach to get this working?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt

Unfortunately, it is not possible to get the raw password. The reason is because in Joomla, password of an user is encrypted, and there is no way to get the raw password back

If you really want to get password of the user, I think you will have to get it directly from the request. Mean your plugin will needs to process onAfterStoreSubscription event trigger

Try to get password using $password = JFactory::getApplication()->input->getString('password1');

It should give you the data you need

Hi Tuan,

thanks for your quick reply.


Actually $password = JFactory::getApplication()->input->getString('password1') also works perfectly in the PHP script plugin when I add it to the 'Subscription Active Script'.


Thank you,
