password plugin with strength meter

[caplod]

hi there, i modified the password plugin so that it has a strength meter attached to the new password input field.
this works fine. but i have to hardcode the minchars in the javascript.

in the password plugin config.inc.php you can define the parameter $rcmail_config['password_minimum_length'] = 6;

i want to access this parameter from inside the strengthmeter javascript.
in the password.js is see some functions like

Code Select Expand

rcmail.gettext()
but is there a function to read the parameter from config.inc.php ?

Please consider sharing this once you have it worked out. I have added an iFrame to my Password plugin that allows a user to test their password prior to changing it, but would vastly prefer an integrated solution.

caplod: try something like

Code Select Expand

$rcmail->output->set_env('password_minimum_length', $rcmail->config->get('password_minimum_length'));
after the add_label function in password.php and then in the JS you can access it at rcmail.evn.password_minimum_length

JohnDoh: thanks for your hint. (by the way there was a small typo. it should be

Code Select Expand

rcmail.env.password_minimum_length

i have attached my password plugin in case someone is interested in the changes.
i named it syscp_password because i use it to change the userpw in syscp.

This is outstanding, and in my opinion should be incorporated into the normal password plugin.

I see only one issue - the password testing messages are hard-coded in German within the javascript. To change to English I had to edit jquery.pstrength-min.1.2.js manually. As it is now coded each localization needs a different jquery.pstrength-min.1.2.js. The descriptions should be moved into the normal localization files, if possible.

hi ABerglund,

you are right , i forgot to mention that the localization is hardcoded.

but here i have attached a version with localization (de and en).

Even better. I can use this as is now. It would be nice if - in addition to:

Code Select Expand

$rcmail_config['password_minimum_length'] = 8;
$rcmail_config['password_require_nonalpha'] = true;

it could also have a couple of other params added, something like:

Code Select Expand

$rcmail_config['password_require_numeric'] = true;
$rcmail_config['password_require_upper_lower'] = true;
