[genpass] Generate password

Hi guys,
i have tried to port this module in Drupal 8 version.

I'm not a programming expert but I tried to do my best for this module that is very useful to me in DRUPAL 7.

I don't know how to publish a module, so attach the zip module.

There will definitely pieces of code to fix but for now this works for me.

In my site users can only be created by the administrator.
So, to the users will be sent a message with the data access : Username and Password(by module RPT (Registration Password Token)).

I hope it has been useful and that this module can have a stable version in drupal 8.

I use it in DRUPAL 8.35 with PHP 7.0

@Kris77 The function variable_del no longer exists on Drupal 8. So people won't be able to uninstall this D8 version. Check this URL on detail on how to do the port from D7 to D8:

https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/converting-drupal-7-modules-to-drupal-8/st...

Thanks for your efforts!

How can we proceed here? laxman.ghavte you are still assigned, what's you status about this?

Now should work. I was able to uninstall this from Drupal 8.

/*
 * Implements hook_uninstall().
 */
function genpass_uninstall() {
  \Drupal::queue('genpass_algorithm')->deleteQueue();
  \Drupal::queue('genpass_display')->deleteQueue();
  \Drupal::queue('genpass_entropy')->deleteQueue();
  \Drupal::queue('genpass_length')->deleteQueue();
  \Drupal::queue('genpass_mode')->deleteQueue();
}

I found another issue, settings are not saved, I will try to fix this.

Thanks,
Alex.

Hi guys,
there is a new version of the module.
After a lot of work, for me that I'm not an expert in programming, I hope it will work. I've been trying it with a site in Drupal 8.5.1

I think I have corrected all the instructions for Drupal8:

• Installation and uninstallation seem to work now.Thnaks to @dureaghin
• The settings are saved.

And I have also added the possibility to insert a token [user:password] during user registration. Site administrator allowed to customize the text of the e-mail that is sent to the user after registration.

This last option I took from the rpt module.

Check that there are other errors.

I hope it can be useful for other users.

Ops....I forgot to attach the module.

Could whe have this in a 8.x branch or on a sandbox project to facilitate testing of this?

Very willingly.

But how do you create an 8.x branch or a sandbox?
This is my first module for me.

Suggest to start the procedure for abandoned projects. It seems there is no interest anymore with current maintainers. To create an 8.x branch cooperation of a maintainer is required.

@mmjvb can you do this?

For now I created a repository on github: https://github.com/luksak/genpass

Suggest someone with more interest in this module does that.

Hi @Kris77

I Will create 8.x branch for this module. I am a co-maintainer of this project now.

Thanks

Perfect @NitinSP.

If you need help, I will try to make it possible.

Thanks again.

Hi Kris77,

I have release latest module with tag 8.x-1.x-dev. But still this module is not avaialable for download in project page becuase I was checked "Security Update" checkbox checked at the time of release this module.
I have folow below steps to release this module

1. Create Branch with name 8.x-1.x-dev
2. Commit and push all required file to this branch using command "git push -u origin 8.x-1.x-dev"
3. Using "git tag 8.x-1.0" command create new tag "8.x-1.0"
4. execute "git push origin tags/8.x-1.0" to push all changes to this tag.
5. After that got to project page and click on "Edit" link.
6. Select "Release" tab.
7. For new release click on "Add new release" link
8. After that select "8.x-1.0" tag from "Git release tag or branch" and click on next button.
9. Fill the required information in the form and Save it.

I am not able to understand what is the issue.

Branch should have been called 8.x-1.x to be consistent, there should only be a tag for 8.x-1.0, not for 8.x-1.x-dev. Not sure whether having a branch and tag with the same name is causing your issue.

So what can i do to publish this module to download?

@Kris77,
I am release dev version of this module in drupal 8.

Depending on what you want you would need to fix the mistakes as mentioned.
Only when you have tagged an alpha or beta you can set the Status to Needs review. Suggest to read this project on usage of Status.
With a dev release Status should be Needs work !

There's now a stable release from the 8.x branch: https://www.drupal.org/project/genpass/releases/8.x-1.0-beta1

As mentioned, with a beta, Status should be Needs review.

Also, calling a beta stable is just bad terminology. The release cycle goes from -dev through alpha, beta, RC to stable. Where stable is the version without any suffix (8.x-1.0 in this case).

This seems like a dup of #2657948: Upgrade "Generate Password" module to Drupal 8 .x.

No duplicate! D8CPT is for meta issues, see description of this project. Details about the port can be recorded in their own queue as in this case.

OK, then perhaps this should be marked fixed since the port exists?

With an alpha or beta the Status should be Needs review. When a Stable is released this issue should be Fixed.

Hi guys,
I'm using this module in production site for a long time without problems.

I think we can release a stable version.

Thank you.

Ok, now there's an https://www.drupal.org/project/genpass/releases/8.x-1.0
