Laravel 5.4 - Reset Password change “email” column

Question

I'm working with differing versions of Laravel and have built an addon that uses Laravel 5.4, Which unfortunatley is using a DB that references Laravel 3 sic

The "users" table has a column titled "user_email".

On the reset password, I want to change the DB Query to check against "user_email" not "email". As I currently get the error :

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'email' in 'where clause'

SQL Query that it's trying to run is :

SQL: select * from `users` where `email` = [email protected] limit 1

Is there any way of changing this to suit?

Thanks

Sure : SQL: select * from users where email = [email protected] limit 1 — StuBlackett
I checked files in Illuminate/Auth/Passwords/. The email column is hardcoded. — Orkhan Alikhanov
If you're using the stand 5.4 User model and authentication, you should be able to add a function named "getEmailForPasswordReset()" in your user model. — rexw

For correctly custom the Column email you need do some change, first need override that method (getEmailForPasswordReset and routeNotificationFor) into model User:

public function getEmailForPasswordReset()
{
    return $this->email_user;
}

public function routeNotificationFor($driver)
{
    if (method_exists($this, $method = 'routeNotificationFor'.Str::studly($driver))) {
        return $this->{$method}();
    }

    switch ($driver) {
        case 'database':
            return $this->notifications();
        case 'mail':
            return $this->email_user;
        case 'nexmo':
            return $this->phone_number;
    }
}

and implement:

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

into ForgotPasswordController need override the method called sendResetLinkEmail and validateEmail:

public function sendResetLinkEmail(Request $request)
{
    $this->validateEmail($request);

    // We will send the password reset link to this user. Once we have attempted
    // to send the link, we will examine the response then see the message we
    // need to show to the user. Finally, we'll send out a proper response.
    $response = $this->broker()->sendResetLink(
        $request->only('email_user')
    );

    return $response == Password::RESET_LINK_SENT
                ? $this->sendResetLinkResponse($response)
                : $this->sendResetLinkFailedResponse($request, $response);
}

protected function validateEmail(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, ['email_user' => 'required|email']);
}

Afther you need Override some method (validateNewPassword, validatePasswordWithDefaults, reset) from PasswordBroker, but we need.

Created a CustomPasswordResetServiceProvider inside App\Providers where I registered a CustomPasswordBrokerManager instance.

namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use App\Services\CustomPasswordBrokerManager; 
class CustomPasswordResetServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider{
    protected $defer = true;

    public function register()
    {
        $this->registerPasswordBrokerManager();
    }

    protected function registerPasswordBrokerManager()
    {
        $this->app->singleton('auth.password', function ($app) {
            return new CustomPasswordBrokerManager($app);
        });
    }

    public function provides()
    {
        return ['auth.password'];
    }
}

In config/app.php commented out line:
//Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordResetServiceProvider::class,
and added:
App\Providers\CustomPasswordResetServiceProvider::class,

Inside App\Services folder created a CustomPasswordBrokerManager and copied the context of the default PasswordBrokerManager located at:
Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBrokerManager.php
Then modified the function resolve to return an instance of my CustomPasswordProvider class.

protected function resolve($name)
{
    $config = $this->getConfig($name);
    if (is_null($config)) {
        throw new InvalidArgumentException("Password resetter [{$name}] is not defined.");
    }

    return new CustomPasswordBroker(
        $this->createTokenRepository($config),
        $this->app['auth']->createUserProvider($config['provider'])
);
}

Finally inside App\Services folder I created a CustomPasswordBroker class which extends default PasswordBroker located at:
Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBroker and overridden the functions that I needed.

use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBroker as BasePasswordBroker;    

class CustomPasswordBroker extends BasePasswordBroker    
{    
// override the method validateNewPassword, validatePasswordWithDefaults and reset, you can take from Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBroker   

}

Not sure if this is the best implementation.
