I have just updated the Marketplace with a new, free module - Strong Password:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/158/strong-password

Strong Password allows you to easily create a password policy for your Jamroom site using any combination of password length, uppercase letters, lowercase letter, symbols and numbers.

If you're a Jamroom VIP subscriber you can download the new module immediately from your Marketplace - if you're not a subscriber, for only $29 per year you can get early access to all new releases:

https://www.jamroom.net/subscribe

We hope you enjoy the new release - let us know if you have any feedback or questions.

Thanks!

Great, adds another layer of security to JR sites.

Downloaded and partially tested.

Admin updates a pw of an existing user = module does not work
Visitor creates new user account = module does not work

We need to get support for password changing in - that's not there right now but on the todo.

I don't see any issues with new signups - that's what was tested and works here.

Did you activate the password policy by checking the "Active" option in the Global Config and saving?

OK I just uploaded it to my test site and it's not working there, so something has changed in the last day. Let me see what is up. Sorry for the hassle.

I see what the issue is - you just need to reset caches. The reason is that the module adds some new language strings, but if those lang strings haven't been loaded (and they won't be until cache is reset) then the resulting string is "empty" and the listener doesn't see it.

Let me know if that helps.

The next release of the Core will fix this, as I've just updated it so when a new module is added, or a previously deactivated module is re-activated, the user language caches are reset. That should prevent something like this from happening in the future.

Hope this helps!

I just updated the Marketplace as well with version 1.0.1 - it now has the proper hook in place to handle password updates as well.

Hope this helps!

Still not working.

Reset cache via /core/cache_reset
and ran integrity.

Is there something else that has to be done to refresh the language caches?

I'm not sure what it would be - it's actually a very simple module. I just enabled it on one of my test sites and I'm not seeing any issues:

Interesting...

Just tested on my other site, different server, different skin (jrelastic) and no customization on site but still did not work.

If you want to open a ticket on it with the login for the site, I can check it out.

Hope this helps!

This should be fixed now - root cause of this was a new one - basically the header in the en-US.php file was not being inserted correctly, which was causing a syntax error and the language strings would not install. I've repackaged it at version 1.0.2 with a fixed header and it should be good to go.

Let me know if you see any other issues.

Hope this helps!
