saveEmailIdentity

[jadsy2107]

OK , I figured out how to add new user with custom personalFields, that's working fine. Now I need to be able to edit the user, it all works, until i call $user->saveEmailIdentity();

It has PHP error, There is no data to update.

All other fields are saving correctly except for EmailIdentiy (email password)

What do you suggest?

   public function edit($id) {
        $users = $this->getUserProvider();
        $rules = $this->getValidationEditRules();
        $validation = service('validation');
        if (!$this->validate($rules)) {
            return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $validation->getErrors());
        }
        $allowedPostFields = array_merge(setting('Auth.validFields'), setting('Auth.personalFields'));
        $user              = $this->getUserProvider()->findById($id);

        $user->fill($this->request->getPost($allowedPostFields));
        // Workaround for email only registration/login
        if ($user->username === null) {
            $user->username = null;
        }

        if (! $users->save($user)) {
            return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $validation->getErrors());
        }

        // Store the email/password identity for this user.
        $user->saveEmailIdentity();
        
        // Success!
        return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('message', 'User successfully updated.');;
    }

Also how to update JUST email or JUST password and password_confirm

More playing around...

        $user->firstname = 'Jimmy';
        $user->email = '[email protected]';
        if (! $users->save($user)) {
            return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $validation->getErrors());
        }

Firstname gets update just fine, email does not?

OK I did some more testing,
The email identity saves IF username, firstname, lastname or phone is different, but won't save if you just update email itself
I got rid of $user->saveEmailIdentity(); all together as this was wrong, it obviously is called automatically when user fields are updated.

    public function edit($id) {
        $users = $this->getUserProvider();
        $rules = $this->getValidationEditRules();
        $validation = service('validation');
        if (!$this->validate($rules)) {
            return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $validation->getErrors());
        }
        $allowedPostFields = array_merge(setting('Auth.validFields'), setting('Auth.personalFields'));
        $user              = $this->getUserProvider()->findById($id);

        $user->fill($this->request->getPost($allowedPostFields));
        if (! $users->save($user)) {
            return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $validation->getErrors());
        }
        
        // Success!
        return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('message', 'User successfully updated.');;
    }

But how to update just email address ? or Just Password / confirm.

This does not do anything:

        $user->email = '[email protected]';
        if (! $users->save($user)) {
            return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $validation->getErrors());
        }

But this (if the firstname is different than whats saved already ) does work:

        $user->firstname= 'Foo';
        $user->email = '[email protected]';
        if (! $users->save($user)) {
            return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $validation->getErrors());
        }

OK I figured it out, my pleasure

It was this that helped;

$user->active = 1;

I was skimming through the tests and found this;

    public function testUpdateEmail(): void
    {
        // Update user's email
        $this->user->email  = '[email protected]';
        $this->user->active = 0;

        $users = model(UserModel::class);
        $users->save($this->user);

        $user = $users->find($this->user->id);

        $this->seeInDatabase('auth_identities', [
            'user_id' => $user->id,
            'secret'  => '[email protected]',
        ]);
        $this->assertSame('[email protected]', $user->email);
    }

It seems this is a bug.
I created an issue: #254

Please note the workaround, specifying

$user->active = <1 or 0>

Also to update the password field, it seems you must set it explicitly;

    public function edit($id) {
        $users = $this->getUserProvider();
        $rules = $this->getValidationEditRules();
        $validation = service('validation');
        if (!$this->validate($rules)) {
            return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $validation->getErrors());
        }
        $allowedPostFields = array_merge(setting('Auth.validFields'), setting('Auth.personalFields'));
        $user              = $this->getUserProvider()->findById($id);

        $user->fill($this->request->getPost($allowedPostFields));
        if (!empty($this->request->getPost('password')))
            $user->password = $this->request->getPost('password');        
        $user->active = 1;

        if (! $users->save($user)) {
            return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $validation->getErrors());
        }
        
        // Success!
        return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('message', 'User successfully updated.');;
    }
