I want to just use the password field but I keep getting "Password confirmation does not match".

I tried:

  • Using a hidden field as password confirmation that gets updated with the contents of the password field: only works when not hidden
  • adding this in controller and I get the same error:

    public function formBeforeCreate($model){
        $model->affiliate_user->password_confirmation = $model->affiliate_user->password; }

What I´m I missing here? Thank you!

You might need to use getOriginalHashValue to get the unhashed value.

public function formBeforeCreate($model) {
    $model->affiliate_user->password_confirmation = $model->affiliate_user->getOriginalHashValue('password');
}

That didn´t work.

Debuggin the error in the reponse I have also seen this: "The password confirmation field is required when password is present."

It looks like event though I manually add 'password_confirmation' inot the user model it's still required to be a field in the form? Any way to get around that?

Try this

public function formBeforeCreate($model) {
    $model->rules['password_confirmation'] = null;
}

That didn't work - I guess validation happens before formBeforeCreate ...

This is what finally worked, found it on another post - you need to extend the funtionality in the boot function inside Plugin.php :

    //Extend Backend user model
    \Backend\Models\User::extend(function ($model) {
        if (!$model instanceof  \Backend\Models\User)
            return;

        $model->bindEvent('model.beforeValidate', function() use ($model) {
            $model->rules = [
              'password_confirmation' => null
            ];
        });

    });

Thanks for your time!!
