I dont want to update the password fields.how to use this.Im using md5 encode for password.So i dont want to update the password field in yii framework.any help appreciated??

Answer 1

In your model you must do something like this:

public function rules() {
    return array(
        array('name, username, email, password', 'required', 'on' => 'create'),
        array('name, username, email', 'required', 'on' => 'update'),
    );
}

Lets say that the scenario that you run now is the update. So I don’t require the password there. I require it only in the create scenario that you may have. So in the view file that you have you remove the password field and inside the action that you have you include this:

$model->setScenario('update');

so it will not require the password and it will remain the same.

For the password change you can create a new action (ex. actionPassChange) where you will require to type twice the new password.
