Changing Password using Hyper link?

[shearak]

I am trying to use a link to allow users to change their password after they login. I am putting this in a footer include. But how do you pass the users password/Username onto the Change_password.cfm(action page). It works but it does pass the current login users info. Please advice

Thanks,
Ahmad

This is the Links page:

<cfquery name = &quot;main&quot; datasource = &quot;MIP&quot; username = &quot;MIP&quot; password = &quot;MIPadmin&quot;>
SELECT UserGroup, pwd_lastmod, UserID
FROM Users
ORDER BY User_Name ASC
</CFquery>

<CFoutput query=&quot;main&quot;><a href=&quot;Change_password.cfm?id=#UserID#&quot;></cfoutput> Change Password</a>


The Change_password.cfm page:

<CFIF IsDefined(&quot;action&quot>
<cfquery name = &quot;main&quot; datasource = &quot;MIP&quot; username = &quot;MIP&quot; password = &quot;MIPadmin&quot;>
SELECT COUNT(*)
AS nUser
FROM Users
WHERE User_Name = '#Form.password#'
AND UserID <> #id#
</CFquery>
<!--- <CFIF #main.nUser# GT 0>
<CFLocation url = &quot;modify_user.cfm?error=1&quot;>
</CFIF> --->
<cfquery name = &quot;updato&quot; datasource = &quot;MIP&quot; username = &quot;MIP&quot; password = &quot;MIPadmin&quot;>
UPDATE Users
SET
User_Name = '#Form.login_name#',
Password = '#Form.password#',
Active = 'Y'
WHERE UserID = #id#
</CFquery>
<CFLocation url = &quot;index.cfm&quot;>
</CFIF>


<cfquery name = &quot;main&quot; datasource = &quot;MIP&quot; username = &quot;MIP&quot; password = &quot;MIPadmin&quot;>
SELECT UserID, User_name, Password, UserGroup
FROM Users
WHERE UserID = #id#
ORDER BY User_Name ASC
</CFquery>


<CFform name = &quot;mod_form&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;change_password.cfm?action=add&id=#id#&quot;>

Username: <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;login_name&quot; value=&quot;#user_name#&quot; size=&quot;20&quot; maxlength=&quot;15&quot; onFocus=&quot;this.blur()&quot;>

Password:
<input type = &quot;password&quot; name = &quot;password&quot; maxlength = &quot;15&quot; size = &quot;20&quot; value = &quot;#password#&quot; >
Re-type Passwor:
<input value = &quot;#password#&quot; type = &quot;password&quot; name = &quot;reword&quot; maxlength = &quot;15&quot; size = &quot;20&quot;>
<input type = &quot;button&quot; value = &quot;Change&quot; onClick = &quot;JavaScript: var hForm = new IMipForm(); hForm.Validate
<input type = &quot;button&quot; onClick = &quot;window.location = 'index.cfm';&quot; value = &quot;CANCEL&quot;>

Sorry on the last line.

You could put the id and the action (from the action= in the query part of the form action) in a hidden filed on the form. ie
<input type=hidden name=id value=<cfoutput>#id#</cfoutput>>
<input type=hidden name=action value=add>
then on the page you submit to just use #form.id# to get the uers id.
Hope this helps.
