    Default Admin Password Change Alert Message Display -- Support Thread

    Now that 1.5.0 is available, your admin users might have noticed that their password must be changed within 90 days but there's no way for them to tell when they last changed it!

    This small add-on displays the currently signed-on admin's "last password change date" within the header of the admin page. Simply copy two files to your shop's admin directory and you're good to go!

    The add-on is now available for download: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=2064

    Default Re: Admin Password Change Alert Message Display -- Support Thread

    An updated v1.1.0 is now available from the Free Software Add Ons area. I've updated the display to show, for the currently logged-in admin, the last time his/her password was changed and the date and IP address associated with that admin's previous login.

    Look at the block of code added to /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/header.php, starting at line 211:
    Code:
    //-bof-lat9 Display last password change and login
      if (function_exists('zen_get_admin_name') && function_exists('zen_read_user')) {
        $adminInfo = zen_read_user(zen_get_admin_name($_SESSION['admin_id']));
    ?>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="right" class="main" valign="top"><?php echo TEXT_PASSWORD_LAST_CHANGE . $adminInfo['pwd_last_change_date']; ?></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="right" class="main" valign="top"><?php echo TEXT_LAST_LOGIN_INFO . $_SESSION['last_login_date'] . ' [' . $_SESSION['last_login_ip'] . ']'; ?></td>
    <?php
      }
    //-eof-lat9
    and change that to
    Code:
    //-bof-lat9 Display last password change and login
      if (function_exists('zen_get_admin_name') && function_exists('zen_read_user')) {
        $adminInfo = zen_read_user(zen_get_admin_name($_SESSION['admin_id']));
    ?>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="right" class="main" valign="top"><?php echo TEXT_PASSWORD_LAST_CHANGE . substr($adminInfo['pwd_last_change_date'], 0, 10) . ' @ ' . substr($adminInfo['pwd_last_change_date'], 11, 5); ?></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="right" class="main" valign="top"><?php echo TEXT_LAST_LOGIN_INFO . $_SESSION['last_login_date'] . ' [' . $_SESSION['last_login_ip'] . ']'; ?></td>
    <?php
      }
    //-eof-lat9

    Thanks for the code.

    The date is still wrong way round.

    It is displayed: 2013-08-06
    I would like it 06-08-2013 however like 6 August 2013

    OK, let's try like this:
    Code:
    //-bof-lat9 Display last password change and login
      if (function_exists('zen_get_admin_name') && function_exists('zen_read_user')) {
        $adminInfo = zen_read_user(zen_get_admin_name($_SESSION['admin_id']));
        $year = substr($adminInfo['pwd_last_change_date'], 0, 4);
        $month = substr($adminInfo['pwd_last_change_date', 5, 2);
        $day = substr($adminInfo['pwd_last_change_date', 8, 2);
        $hour = substr($adminInfo['pwd_last_change_date', 11, 2);
        $minute = substr($adminInfo['pwd_last_change_date', 14, 2);
        $second = substr($adminInfo['pwd_last_change_date, 17, 2);
        $timestamp = mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day, $year);
    ?>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="right" class="main" valign="top"><?php echo TEXT_PASSWORD_LAST_CHANGE . strftime('%d-%B-%Y @ %H:%M', $timestamp); ?></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="right" class="main" valign="top"><?php echo TEXT_LAST_LOGIN_INFO . $_SESSION['last_login_date'] . ' [' . $_SESSION['last_login_ip'] . ']'; ?></td>
    <?php
      }
    //-eof-lat9
    The format I chose for strftime will output something similar to '14-September-2013 @ 12:25'. There are many, many more formatting options available for the strftime function (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php)!

    Thanks for the link. A bit of light reading for bedtime. I will get back when I get the changes done and paste the code in here.

    Thanks to mprough for submitting an updated version (v1.1.0) that includes the Zen Cart v1.5.3 changes.

    Please Note: Due to the password-related changes (and new functions introduced) in Zen Cart v1.5.3, this version will work only on Zen Cart v1.5.3 installations. Please continue to use v1.0.0 on Zen Cart v1.5.0 through v1.5.2 installations.

    v1.1.2 is now available from the Plugins area. The update provides downwardly-compatible changes required for Zen Cart v1.5.4.

    2 Questions:
    1. But ... why do they need to know "when they last changed it"?
    2. You said "must be changed within 90 days". But, that's not correct. The system will auto-prompt them to set new password after 90 days is up. It won't suddenly "lock them out because they forgot to change it in time".

    The sites where I've seen this mod installed make the admin home screen seem like there will be sudden doom if they don't pay careful attention to changing their password "in the nick of time". But that's the wrong concept. Passwords are tough enough to manage without creating alarm and fear of getting locked out because they weren't watching the calendar.

    Other than dropping PCI rules altogether, how can the system be changed so that there's no need for this plugin?
