I am using Solspace User.

Unable to force user to input current password after modifying their profile.

Using this parameter password_required="y" or password_required="yes" takes no effect. It is not redirecting me to error page or prompting any error message

I am not logged in as Super Admin

{exp:user:edit
    group_id="5|6"
    member_id="{segment_3}"
    password_required="yes"
    required="formal_title|first_name|last_name"
    return="teachers/edit_profile/{segment_3}/success"
            error_page="teachers/error"
}

    <input type="text" name="username" value="{username}" placeholder="Email address"/>
    <br>

    <select name="formal_title">
        {select_formal_title}
            <option value="{value}" {selected}>{value}</option>
        {/select_formal_title}
    </select>
    <br>

    <input type="text" name="first_name" value="{first_name}" placeholder="First name"/>
    <br>

    <input type="text" name="last_name" value="{last_name}" placeholder="Last name"/>
    <br>



    <input type="password" name="current_password" placeholder="Current Password" />
    <br>

    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />

{/exp:user:edit}

Any ideas? Appreciate for help

Thanks

From the Solspace documentation about the current_password form field:

This form field is available and required in certain instances where the current password is required to update or change certain profile data:

  • password & password_confirm fields are modified (unless the submitter is a Super Admin or in one of the authorized member groups specified in the group_id parameter).
  • email field is modified.
  • username field is modified.
  • screen_name field is modified, unless screen_name_password_required parameter is specified with value of no.
  • password_required parameter is specified with value of yes.

Note that current_password isn't affected by editing a custom member field.

Also, current_password also isn't necessary if you're logged in as a member whose member group has administrative powers, which is controlled by the group_id="" parameter. If you remove your group_id from the group_id="" parameter in your code above, current_password becomes required if you modify any of the above fields mentioned in the documentation.

  • Removed group_id="" solved it. Thanks Jan 27, 2014 at 19:59
