Hi,

I refer to bugs reported along the lines of this request: www.jomsocial.com/forum/technical-issues...-profile-information

I have the same issue, that Chrome, in particular, has made a change to their autocomplete/password manager that makes Jomsocial's Edit Profile->Account Details 'break'. The user's password is autocompleted on the Account Details tab, which prevents updating anything including on the Account Information tab, because the autocomplete password does not match the blank confirmation field.

Chrome have been addressing this here: code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=352347 and here: code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=375333 which contain some information on the fix (how Chrome is going to try to get the correct password manager function (i.e. auto complete for user login, but not for registration or updating profiles, such as our situation).

Can you please ensure that the Edit Profile page is suitably set up so that their solution will work?

It is not reasonable to expect Jomsocial administrators to tell all users to turn off their auto complete functions, as was done in the above mentioned post... Users will stop using the sites or create very insecure passwords.

Thanks
Matthew

Hi, Matthew.

Ok, I'll pass it to our developers.

Hi, Matthew.

I apologize that it took so long. I'm afraid that I haven't got good news. This is Chrome issue and can't be fixed from our side:

Yes, I thought it was their issue, but I understand that adding a hidden password field above the visible one can make that irrelevant field get filled in instead. Not something you would want to put into production, but something I might experiment with...

Can you please point me to the file with the HTML for the user details editing page and I'll see if I can come up with something that works temporarily on my site. I expect Chrome's team to continue to improve their handling of this situation, so I'm not worried about it being overwritten in any Jomsocial updates.

Thanks,
Matthew

Hi, Matthew.

Those fields are displayed in template files so you may try override:

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/profile.edit.details.php
ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/profile.edit.php

Hi. Good News...

I went to take a look at it with the view to put in a hidden password field to fool Chrome, but it looks like Chrome may have fixed the problem in a recent update :) The password field in account details was not being auto-populated today :)

Hopefully it stays like that!

Thanks for looking into it for me.

Matthew
