Make sure your theme is up to date ...

bye, Dirk

Thanks for the tip on the updated theme. Unfortunately, I have to use the theme because the front end is highly customized. So as a hack, if I ever want to edit the password or create a new user in admin, I just go to config.php and load up an "updated" theme, change it, then go back to my customized theme.

Note that this only works if you don't allow people to create accounts. ie. you have to create accounts for them

Did you customize the Admin area as well? Hardly any theme changes anything there, so it can usually be copied over from the Professional theme.

And in the user's preferences, you only need an additional input field now for the password confirmation. If you customized your theme, you can surely figure that out from the documentation and from looking at the Professional theme's files.

After updating to 1.4.0sr5-1 from 1.3.9, I am running into this same error message. When I try to adjust any of the user's settings including their groups, or status and hit save I get "The new password does not match the confirmation password!" This even occurs using the professional theme.

It seems like it wants me to enter the password into the confirmation field, but since the user's can change their password, I dont know what it is. What happened to the separate "change password" button from 1.3.9?

The password field should remain empty if you don't want to change the user's password.



It was considered redundant.

Okay, so I leave it empty, because I dont want to change it... and that's when I get the error message.

Hi,

I get the same errror.

I'm working a new setup, geeklog-1.4.0sr5-1. When I attempt to delete a new test user (status: awaiting activation) I first receive a dialog asking, "would you like to have password manager change the stored password for admin?". When I choose no, the page refreshes with the error, "The new password does not match the confirmation password!"

The user that I had made for testing isn't an admin user, but a regular vanilla user via the registration link.

This is using the default professional theme.

url like: http://my-site.com/admin/user.php?mode=edit&uid=4

that message is from your browser, not Geeklog, and comes up because a password is actually in the password field, though you haven't typed it and your browser figures you have a new password to store. the next message comes because the confirmation box is empty, or doesn't exist cuz your theme isn't updated. The problem is, as Dirk mentioned, that the password field shouldn't have a password in it when you call up the page in edit mode. Also, as Dirk said, it is a theme issue.

that a password in already in the password field, if it is not the theme issue, then it is just your browser's password manager inputing it for you.. just delete the entry in your password manager. I know this is an old thread, but I'm just now figuring it out for myself.

I will second this. I traced my problem to the password being automatically filled in by the password manager also.

This is definitely a browser problem... but it becomes my problem
when user hit upon it in geeklog. I had someone recently try to
upload their picture, and had troubles.

Anyone have a solution? Thanks!

The end of this thread has the Firefox workaround that I implemented. It works for now. The ultimate fix would be to rename the password and username fields, to eliminate the auto fill in. That would require touching many more files.
