bochao welcome to Flarum!

What are you trying to customize ?

Flarum extension system is based around events and container bindings, and the ideal solution depends on what you're trying to do.

If you're trying to change the validation rules for the password, you can use a strategy similar to the one presented here https://discuss.flarum.org/d/6507-change-user-validation-rules

If you would like to replace the whole controller, a middleware could be used. But I doubt you need to go that far.

clarkwinkelmann yes , I wanna change controller ,cuz must sync password to other site,about change middleware,what can I do? Thanks.

bochao I would highly recommend using something like Oauth2 to sync passwords between sites.

You could listen to the https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/d492579638fb52dafbfe65f1f36a95eb6047f7f3/src/User/Event/PasswordChanged.php event and copy the hashed password of the user.

There's no way to access the plain text password beyond the data validation without overriding the whole controller. Also, while most password changes will likely happen in that controller, the user edit controller also has the ability to edit passwords when an admin edits a user.

What kind of other app are you syncing this with ? As suggested by tankerkiller125 an oauth-based method might be better.

bochao

tankerkiller125 I understand, but to implement Oauth with another existing production environment website, it seems unlikely, that I can only do server backend synchronization from the API. I have completed this section.

Actually, I just want to know that custom controller is possible, now it seems impossible, only customizable from Event Extend.

One more question, how can I return custom parameters after listen User \ Event \ LoggedIn?
Original:

token: "hJzIFXrzL6aMRkGBKywTLy7hv6LTxYULliBazlOx"
userId: 55

after:

token: "hJzIFXrzL6aMRkGBKywTLy7hv6LTxYULliBazlOx"
userId: 55
customField:'custom string'

clarkwinkelmann

bochao I don't think you can alter the response from the LoggedIn event, it has not been designed for that. Most likely a Middleware would be required,

What do those additional parameters do ? Couldn't they be returned as attributes on the forum preloaded payload once the page refreshes after login ?

In the end I used a not so good solution, using cookies, thank you very much.
