Hi,

 

Thank you very much for sharing this.

Very convenient when migrating clients.

 

 

Best regards

Quick Q: When generating the password in the client area, the buttons there, it generates it etc but it diplays it as text.

 

I prosume this is fine... now thinking about it, how else are they going to know it Brain fart

 

Awesome addon! Well done

[Snowman]

Suggestions

 

Include: password_generator.js

 

( see attach file: clientareachangepw.tpl.jpg )

 

// compatibility for the template clientareachangepw.tpl

 

function GeneratePassword2() {

var p = GetRandomPassword();

var e = document.getElementsByName("newpw");

if (e.length>0) {

e[0].value = p;

if (e[0].type == "password") changeInputType(e[0],"text");

}

// For a "confirm password" field

e = document.getElementsByName("confirmpw");

if (e.length>0) {

e[0].value = p;

if (e[0].type == "password") changeInputType(e[0],"text");

}

}

 

in clientareachangepw.tpl

 

<input type="button" value="Gerar Senha" onclick="GeneratePassword2();"/>

 

 

Another suggestion:

 

/clientregister.tpl ( see attach file: clientregister.tpl.jpg )

 

Congratulations

 

I have applied these changes and they work well however one issue i found is the password strength meter then doesnt show how strong the pass is

 

anyone know how to sort that?

[FrostByte]

Is there any way to get this little addon implemented for use on the promotion code screen?

 

Would be handy to generate random strings for promotion codes rather than have to think up corny little codes like "autumsale" and "get20off" etc.

 

Could someone maybe write a little script for that?

 

Cheers

Nicely done!

[lightbeing creations]

Great addon that makes things so much easier, thanks.

 

One question though, does it work with the new Ajax order form, as I don't seem to be able to get that to work?

[shotgun]

Thanks for this.

I'm also using it to generate root passwords during the order process for vps's and servers.

 

I got fed up with people using "password" as the root pass and leaving it get brute forced :-/

[sol2010]

Hmmm seems as though the download is broken - anyone have a link ?

[hostpro2u]

It works perfectly, thanks a lot.

[chuva]

Work in 4.5.2, perfect

 

Thanks

[bellafronte]

the link for download dont work

[webjive]

The link is down.

[cenourinha]

Would like to see this as default in whmcs.

Works great - the download link is missing. I still have the zip file I downloaded last year. Where can we make it available to everyone again?

 

Note: In WHMCS version 5.X edit the /admin/templates/blend/header.tpl file for the admin side password features - it works great - should be a standard feature in WHMCS.

[RFEHosting]

I agree, this would be a great feature to have in WHMCS as a standard feature.

to get the PW meter to work in V5 change password_generator.js as follows

 

// Adding this for the password strength meter
// This is copied in part from /whmcs/includes/jscript/pwstrength.js
$("#password").keyup(function () {
       var pw = $("#password").val();
       var pwlength=(pw.length);
       if(pwlength>5)pwlength=5;
       var numnumeric=pw.replace(/[0-9]/g,"");
       var numeric=(pw.length-numnumeric.length);
       if(numeric>3)numeric=3;
       var symbols=pw.replace(/\W/g,"");
       var numsymbols=(pw.length-symbols.length);
       if(numsymbols>3)numsymbols=3;
       var numupper=pw.replace(/[A-Z]/g,"");
       var upper=(pw.length-numupper.length);
       if(upper>3)upper=3;
       var pwstrength=((pwlength*10)-20)+(numeric*10)+(numsymbols*15)+(upper*10);
       if(pwstrength<0){pwstrength=0}
       if(pwstrength>100){pwstrength=100}
       $("#pwstrengthbox").removeClass("weak moderate strong");
       $("#pwstrengthbox").html("Strong");
       $("#pwstrengthbox").addClass("strong");
       if (pwstrength<75) {
           $("#pwstrengthbox").html("Moderate");
          $("#pwstrengthbox").addClass("moderate");
       }
       if (pwstrength<30) {
           $("#pwstrengthbox").html("Weak");
           $("#pwstrengthbox").addClass("weak");
       }
   });
// End copied code

 

and

 

// Call the password keyup function (if it exists) to update the pw strength meter on the order checkout page
$("#password").keyup();

 

But it would be good to get this integrated into the main system

It appears that even though the download is missing, the instructions from the first post still seem to work fine w/WHMCS 5.0.3 for me. Great addon without a doubt!

[sol2010]

Yes the link on the English WHMCS site is not working.

 

However, you can find it here on the WHMCS Brazil site (wow these guys really are international!

It's originally in Portuguese (hence the google translate link) so you need to translate a few words back to English (easy)

 

You will need to amend the code (OK, Medium, Strong) in the JS file and also change the Generate button text - other than that it's good!

 

Here's the link: scroll down the page to the Password Generator part.

The download link is here for the zip file (www.whmcs.blog.br/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=26)

So i can confirm this works.... following the instructions properly the only thing that does not work is the CLIENTAREAPWCHANGE and the CLIENTAREAREGISTER does not work, when you click on Generate Password button it does nothing i think its because it has something to do with the hidden asterix fields.

 

If anyone can get this working let me know.

I'm having the same issue ... works in Admin but in cart button does nothing

[rodeoXtreme]

We've been using this for a while now; however, to maintain PCI compliant, does anyone know how to include symbols in addition to the alphanumeric passwords.

 

We've added chars += "\!\@,\%\~\=\)\(\;\$"; to the function GetRandomCharacter() { but it still doesn't include the symbol.

 

Thanks

[laszlof]

Couple things you could try. Use single quotes rather than double quotes to wrap your string. and you probably do not need to escape all of them. Load up the page with firebug running and see if its throwing any javascript errors.

Hi Frank,

 

Thanks for the help. We have modified the previous code so symbols are now generating (I have included the code below), unfortunately we do not have it working in v5.0 Client Area yet.

 

 

// AddAutoPasswordButtons: Look for password boxes and add a generate password button next to them
function AddAutoPasswordButtons() {
// Don't add the Generate button to certain pages where it wouldn't make sense
var NoGenerate = [
'WHMCS - Servers',
'WHMCS - Support Ticket Departments'
];
for (i=0; i<NoGenerate.length; i++) if (document.title == NoGenerate[i]) return;

// Get the Password text box, if there is one
var e = document.getElementsByName("password");
if (e.length>0)
{
var b = document.createElement("input");
b.type = "button";
b.value = "Generate";
b.onclick = GeneratePassword;
e[0].parentNode.appendChild(b);
}
}

// GeneratePassword: Generate a password and place it in a textbox
function GeneratePassword() {
var p = GetRandomPassword();
var e = document.getElementsByName("password");
if (e.length>0) {
e[0].value = p;
if (e[0].type == "password") e[0].type = "text";
}
// For a "confirm password" field
e = document.getElementsByName("password2");
if (e.length>0) {
e[0].value = p;
if (e[0].type == "password") e[0].type = "text";
}
}

// GetRandomNumber: Get a random number between two specified numbers
function GetRandomNumber(lbound,ubound) {
return (Math.floor(Math.random() * (ubound-lbound)) + lbound);
}

// GetRandomCharacter: Get a random character
function GetRandomCharacter() {
var chars = ""; // Choose your character sets below
chars += "0123456789";
chars += "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
chars += "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
chars += "\!\@,\%\~\=\)\(\;\$";

return chars.charAt(GetRandomNumber(0,chars.length));
}

//puts each character from the string str in arr and returns a new array
function PushArray(arr, str) {
var a = [];
for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++)
a[a.length] = str.charAt(i);
arr[arr.length] = a;
return arr;
}

//does the actual generating
function GenerateRandomPasswords(length, letters, uppercase, numbers, punctuation, printable) {
var pass_length = parseInt(length);
if (pass_length < 1 || pass_length > 256) return false;

var needed_charsets = [];

var p;
while (true) {

var used_charsets = [];

if (all_charsets_used) break;
}

for (var j = 0; j < pass_length; j++) {
var ch = p[j];
if ("<" == ch) ch = "<";
if (">" == ch) ch = ">";
result += ch;
}
//result += '<br />';
//alert(result);
//}

return result;
}

// GetRandomPassword: Get a random password
function GetRandomPassword() {
/*
var p = "";
for (i=0; i<8; i++) p += GetRandomCharacter();
return p;

return GenerateRandomPasswords(8, true, true, true, true, false);
