Preset Password

[xportde]

Hello together,

I try to preset the password on creating users of a certain role by the hook Users::added in ready.php. This is successful (the pass field value is stored in the database), but in the following screen, where the new user data have to be specified, the password input is still required. Is there any chance to prevent this?

If this is not possible, and the password would be entered manually, how could I read it later unhashed via API to send a mail to the new user? The scenario is: A user with appropriate permissions adds other users with other role, which should be informed by email about their credentials.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas.

I think you'll get what you want by hooking InputfieldPassword::render

Take a look at this function: https://github.com/adrianbj/EmailNewUser/blob/026653e76328607540ad782b104b79defe776469/EmailNewUser.module.php#L86-L99
