Hi,

since using 2.0.9 I have a strange problem.
I use Joomla 3.4.1 and Firefox.
Our website connects Joomla and LDAP and checks passwords with the LDAP,
so normally the password fields in Joomla/CB are empty.

I save my user name and password for my website in a cookie.

When I open the Contact tab in Community builder (be it in front end or back end)
CB automatically puts my password in the password field (!).

When I then try to save the data CB claims I should confirm the password
because it obviously compares the (automatically filled in) password field with the
(logically empty) password confirmation field, and they logically aren't identical.

After deleting the cookie in Firefox I everything runs smoothly...


How can I prevent Firefox from automatically adding the password where it doesn't belong ?
Or - what else am I doing wrong and what should I do instead ?

Thnx,
doromi

That's standard browser autocomplete. That's just how it functions. You can't prevent this aside from adding autocomplete="off" (only recent valid with HTML5) to the input, which you can't currently do (we'll have support for this implemented once we refactor our field classes).

Kyle,

thanks for your reply.

While working with CB 1.9.1 I never had that problem, so why does it appear now with CB 2.0.9 ?

And - it only happens with Firefox, neither with Opera or Google Chrome...

Regards,
Doris

Edit... It seems to be no problem of CB but of Joomla itself...

Case closed ... Sorry for bothering ...
