update employee password in module

[vinaysaini]

I wanted to update the password of current employee in back office. Here is my code what I did,

 

 

 

            $passwd_post = $_POST['passwd'];

            $passwd = Tools::encrypt($passwd_post);        

            $eid = $this->context->employee->id;

            $this->updatePassword($passwd,$eid);

 

/* update  password function */

public function updatePassword($passwd,$eid)

   {       

               $result = Db::getInstance(_PS_USE_SQL_SLAVE_)->executeS('

               UPDATE '._DB_PREFIX_.'employee

               SET passwd = "'.$passwd.'"

               WHERE id_employee = "'.$eid.'"');        

   }

            

 

This code works perfectly fine. But the problem is, Cookie has its own old password $this->context->employee->passwd

 

Because of which as soon as I go to any other page it logs me out after the password has been changed. And I have to login again.  How Can I fix this Any help??????

you have to change employee password value stored in cookie

take a look how it looks in authentication function:

 

// Update cookie

$cookie = Context::getContext()->cookie;

$cookie->id_employee = $this->context->employee->id;

$cookie->email = $this->context->employee->email;

$cookie->profile = $this->context->employee->id_profile;

$cookie->passwd = $this->context->employee->passwd;

$cookie->remote_addr = $this->context->employee->remote_addr;

$cookie->write();
