Userdb functions, docs vs. code
|
|
On this page:
http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/icdocs/tags/userdb.html#cgi
the statement that the Values space is the default for the userdb tag is incorrect, I think. The code in UserDB.pm
(approx. line 263, v 5.6.1) is:
USERNAME => $options{username} ||
$Vend::username ||
$CGI::values{mv_username} || '',
OLDPASS => $options{oldpass} ||
$CGI::values{mv_password_old} || '',
PASSWORD => $options{password} ||
$CGI::values{mv_password} || '',
thus it uses CGI space, at least for the "login" function.
I ran across this just today, when a fragment of code something like this failed:
[update values]
[value name="mv_username" set="[value email]" hide=1]
[value name="mv_password" set="[value zip]" hide=1]
[userdb function="login"]
failed. There aren't any CGI variables for mv_username and mv_password, so the login attempt doesn't have any inputs to
work with.
(Frankly, a more straightforward approach is better:
[userdb function="login" username="[value email]" password="[value zip]"]
but that's beside the point here.)
