Hi

I managed to add new users with this code:

$userTmp = $modx->newObject("modUser");
	  $userTmp->set('username', $lender);
	  $userTmp->set("password", md5($pass));
          $userTmp->save();
	  $idUser = $userTmp->get('id');

This add user to Manger area but only to table : *prefix*users
Then I add :

	  $_usr = $modx->getObject('modUser',$idUser);
	  if (!$_usr) return 'no user??';
	  $_profile = $_usr->getOne('Profile');  
	  $_profile->setValue('email', '[email protected]');  
	  $_profile->save();

I am sure I get this crashed ((

I need to populate *prefix*user_attributes table cause I think this must be updated / synchronised together with the first table but my first part code does not do it. That's why i am trying to use Profile and SET..

Probably I should not use profile and set method? Or I use it wrong in terms of users updates?

Thanks

$userTmp = $modx->newObject("modUser");
$userTmp->set('username', $lender);
//you don't need md5
$userTmp->set("password", $pass);
$profile = $modx->newObject("modProfile");
$profile->set('email', '[email protected]');
$userTmp->addOne($profile);
$userTmp->save()

Hi

thanks a lot.

You are right I do not need to md5 it makes it as I see now when followed your note, thanks.

I checked the structure of users table and the pass column is not auto md5 so how the string gets md5 , please?

On your line 6: $profile->set('email', '[email protected]');
The script dies. Do you kn0w what is wrong with this method?

Here is my script now:

	 
          $userTmp = $modx->newObject("modUser");
	  $userTmp->set('username', $lender);
	  $userTmp->set("password", $pass);
 	  $profile1 = $modx->newObject("modProfile");
// 	  $profile1->set('email', '[email protected]');
	  $userTmp->addOne($profile1);
	  $userTmp->save();

But it still does not add any data to second table **atributes .. Is it due to no field for that table was set? Could you suggest what is wrong with line 6 please?

Thanks a lot.

$userTmp = $modx->newObject("modUser");
$userTmp->set('username', $lender);
$userTmp->set("password", $pass);
//this should be modUserProfile, not modProfile as I wrote before, sorry
$profile1 = $modx->newObject("modUserProfile");
$profile1->set('email', '[email protected]');
$userTmp->addOne($profile1);
$userTmp->save();

If you still have problems, feel free to ask.

P.S. As for md5, I haven't investigated it, but i suspect that modx does it internally when new user is saved. Also, modx adds salt to whole thing. md5 can be also set as a function on table cell (modx doesn't do it that way) [ed. note: blankcheck last edited this post 14 years, 7 months ago.]

Thanks for the fix - I get it working now ;-)

And many thanks for commenting the md5 for pass in modx.

Hope it will be usable for many people who import old data into modx with creating web users.
