Allow users to change their password

Kirby 2 Solved ✅

Hello,

I’m stuck. I need to allow my users to change their passwords. However, I don’t want them to be able to access anything else in the panel. For now, I’ve used a link for them to arrive on their user info page:

<a href="<?php echo $site->url().'/panel/users/'.esc($user->userName()).'/edit' ?>">Change Password</a>

And then I load a custom panel stylesheet to hide everything else in the panel. I also deny them access to anything else in the panel based on their role. Here is how I do it (config.php):

if ($user = site()->user() and $user->hasRole('registered')) {
   // load the custom stylesheet
   kirby()->set('option', 'panel.stylesheet', ['assets/panel-css/panel.css']);
   // user pls gtfo if you are not on your profile
   if (strpos(kirby()->request()->url(),'/panel') and strstr(kirby()->path(),'users/'.$user->username()) === false) {
     go(site()->url());
   }
}

It works ok, however I just need one last thing:

When they update their password (by clicking on “Save”), I need to redirect them to the previous page (frontend of the site).

The cancel button is ok, because the user is redirected to the users in the panel, which redirects them to the homepage. However, when they click on save, the password is changed but they stay on that page. I need to find a way to do this: on save, go back to the previous page.

Can anybody help me out? I’m stuck :frowning: and my boss is starting to stress me out… Thanks!

I don’t think you can achieve that without modifying the Panel core. If that’s ok, have a look at the edit method in the UsersController in panel/app/controllers/users.php, this code snippet where the user is redirected:

try {
        $user->update($data);
        $self->notify(':)');
        $self->redirect($user, 'edit');
      } catch(Exception $e) {
        $self->alert($e->getMessage());
      }

Perfect! I changed it from:

$self->redirect($user, 'edit');

to:

$self->redirect('users');

It works exactly as I want it. Thank you very much for your help @texnixe
