Hi, I am Catalyst/Perl/FormFu/TemplateToolkit-Newbie and have a problem *douh* ;) I want to create a form where the user can change its password (i.e. something like "password" and "password confirm") and store it sha1-hashed in my mySQL-DB. In order to accomplish this, I thought I could get the contents of the password field after the user submission, run a sha1-hash over it an finally store it to the DB. But that does not work because after the user submits the password field it seems to be emtpy. Is this a FormFu problem?
Here is the situation right now: <catalyst root>/root/src/foobar.tt2: [% form %] <catalyst root>/root/forms/foobar.yml: --- indicator: submit elements: - type: Password name: mypass label: Enter password constraints: - type: Equal others: mypass_confirm - type: Required - type: Password name: mypass_confirm label: Please confirm password constraints: - type: Required - type: Submit name: submit value: Here we go <catalyst root>/lib/MyApp/Controller/Root.pm: sub foobar :Local :FormConfig('foobar.yml') { my ($self, $c) = @_; my $form = $c->stash->{form}; $c->log->info($form->get_element({ name => "mypass" })); $c->stash->{template} = 'foobar.tt2'; } <catalyst output after user has submitted form>: [info] <div class="password label"> <label>Enter password</label> <input name="mypass" type="password" value="" /> </div> Please note the empty value attribute where I espected the user input! If I now add a text field to my yml ... <catalyst root>/root/forms/foobar.yml: --- indicator: submit elements: - type: Text name: mytext constraints: - type: Required - type: Password name: mypass label: Enter password constraints: - type: Equal others: mypass_confirm - type: Required - type: Password name: mypass_confirm label: Please confirm password constraints: - type: Required - type: Submit name: submit value: Here we go ... and grab its contents ... <catalyst root>/lib/MyApp/Controller/Root.pm: sub foobar :Local :FormConfig('foobar.yml') { my ($self, $c) = @_; my $form = $c->stash->{form}; $c->log->info($form->get_element({ name => "mytext" })); $c->stash->{template} = 'foobar.tt2'; } ... the output is as expected: <catalyst output after user has submitted form>: [info] <div class="text"> <input name="mytext" type="text" value="foo" /> </div> The related versions are: - Catalyst 5.7015 - Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu 0.03004 - HTML::FormFu 0.03005 - Perl 5.10 Any hints on how I can get my password hashed as intended?
