I used user_save to update the field. However, whenever I run this function and I log out and try to log back the password doesn't work anymore.I think it cause a change in the password. can anyone help me to get the actual password back?

$existingUser1 = user_load($uid1);
$existingUser1->field_group_id[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = $g_id;
user_save((object) array('uid' => $existingUser1->uid), (array) $existingUser1);

  • Just for clarification, why do you need your old password? Have you forgotten your new password or you are not aware that with what password it has got saved?

  • I updated one field of all the users using user_save, coz of which password of each-one is changed automatically so to access the system every user will need to-reset the password.Its like we are forcing user to reset the password.

You probably want this:

$existingUser1 = user_load($uid1);
$existingUser1->field_group_id[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = $g_id;
user_save($existingUser1);

You just need to call user_save() on the user object to save the values after you have changed any fields.

  • Hey Jaypan, could you please add some explanation for the code you posted. Not doing so is considered as a low quaity post according the Rules (oeps: rules) of this site ... and puts it at risk of beiing deleted via moderation (FYI: your answer did show up in the low quality posts ...). Just a suggestion ...

  • That's what experts often say ... but your improvement helps for sure. And if you ask me "good enough". So merci for taking my advice ... PS: it also makes your answer "more effective" (as in your own comments to the question ...)

  • Pierre - fair enough, I guess after writing code for so long it's easy to forget that it's not always clear to other people what exactly is happening.
