Magento - change email in forgotpassword before check it

Question

In forgot password form, i need to get the email and change it before magento check it.

Why?, beacuse i need to change a customer personal number like 9834592845 to their email store in database ([email protected])

i work with the event: controller_action_predispatch_customer_account_forgotpassword

but i can't get the email, i tried

$username = $observer->getRequest()->getPost('email');
$username = $observer->getRequest()->getPost();
$postData = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost();
$username = $observer->getData('email');
$username = $observer->getEmail();
$username = $_POST;
$username = $_POST['login']['username'];
$username = $_POST['login']['email'];
Mage::log($username);

and more, but nothing.

What i'm doing wrong.

I appreciate any help.

Answer 1

you can use customer_save_before Observer in that you can write your own code

Example:

public function detectPwdChange(Varien_Event_Observer $observer) {
    $event              = $observer->getEvent();
    $customer           = $event->getCustomer();
    $postData           = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost();

    if($customer instanceof Mage_Customer_Model_Customer && !$customer->isObjectNew()) {

        if( $postData['change_password'] == 1 && $postData['current_password'] != $postData['password'] ) {
            // Do something
        }
    }

    return $this;
}
