Thanks @Jan Romero, I decided to abandon the LoginRegsiter module as I needed to send emails when people logged in and other stuff and I thought it would be easier to start from scratch rather than try to amend something I hadn't written.

After reading lots of other forum posts, my code has changed to this now:

if($input->post->hunt_name) {
	// sanitize input field values
	$user = $sanitizer->userName($input->post->hunt_name);
	$email = $sanitizer->email($input->post->email_address);
	$password = $input->post->password;

	// create user
	$registerUser = createUser($user, $email, $password);

	$registerUser->of(false);
	$registerUser->member_hunt_name = $hunt_name;
	$registerUser->member_hunt_contact_name = $contactname;
	$registerUser->member_hunt_position = $position;
	$registerUser->member_hunt_address = $address;
	$registerUser->member_hunt_postcode = $postcode;
	$registerUser->member_hunt_telephone = $telephone;
	$registerUser->member_hunt_country = $country;			
	
	// save
	$registerUser->save();
	$registerUser->of(true);
}

function createUser($user, $email, $password) {
		// create user
		$u = new User();
		// set template and parent
		$u->template = $templates->get("user-hunt");
		$u->parent = $pages->get("/members/hunts/");
		// set name
		$u->name = $user;
		// set email
		$u->email = $email;
		//set password
		$u->pass = $password;
		// assign role
		$u->addRole("hunt");
		// save new member
		$u->save();

		return $u;
}

This is creating a page in /members as 0.78273300-1590946171. ?

I've realised the issue is that when the user page is created, if I filled out the form as dave@gmail.com, the page is create as dave-gmail.com. And so I need to log in as dave-gmail.com, not dave@gmail.com.

So I'm guessing I need to set the user page title as the person's name when I'm creating it? Let me know what you think @Jan Romero ?

After setting up a new user template using this guide: https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-core-updates-2.5.14/#multiple-templates-or-parents-for-users, the pages are created fine but I can't log in as the newly created user.

I did notice that my new template doesn't have a 'name' field like the users in admin/access/users. Is this the field that is checked when logging in? Here is my code that I am using to create the page when someone registers:

$np = new Page(); // create new page object
$np->template = $templates->get("user-hunt"); 
$np->parent = $pages->get("/members/");
				
// Match up the sanitized inputs we just got with the template fields
$np->of(false);
$np->name = $hunt_name;
$np->title = $hunt_name;
$np->member_hunt_name = $hunt_name;
$np->member_hunt_contact_name = $contactname;
$np->member_hunt_position = $position;
$np->member_hunt_address = $address;
$np->member_hunt_postcode = $postcode;
$np->member_hunt_telephone = $telephone;
$np->member_hunt_country = $country;
$np->email = $email_address;
$np->pass = $password;
				
// Save the page
$np->save();
$np->of(true);

Also, when it creates the page, it's putting the title as the created date/time for some reason. ?

Thanks once more @Jan Romero. It is now creating a user under /members/.

Just to clear things up, is what it has created under /members/ a page or a user? Or both? ?

Sorry, one last question. How can I now create my new user with the new template and new parent? It doesn't seem to like this:

wire()->addHookBefore('LoginRegister::createdUser', function($event) {
	$u = $event->arguments[0];
	$u->parent = 1083; // set new parent
	$u->addRole('hunt');
	$u->save();
});

Brilliant! That was it. Thank you so much @Jan Romero.

Thank you so much @elabx and @flydev ??. I thought that was it, that I wasn't passing the variable into the function.

However, it is now somehow giving the user the default value returned from getRole(), rather than the value it should give. And yet, if I echo the value returned from getRole() before and after executing loginRegister, it is correct! ?

$myRole = getRole($input->post('register_member_role'));

echo $input->post('register_member_role').' gives '.$myRole; // value is correct here
					
wire()->addHookBefore('LoginRegister::createdUser', function($event) use($myRole) {
	$u = $event->arguments[0]; 
	$u->addRole($myRole);
	$u->save();
});
					
echo $loginRegister->execute();
die($myRole); // value is correct here

I don't seem to be able to add a role to a user when they register.

I have a function to return the role as text based on the option that was chosen on the register form. I have checked that this function is returning the correct value by echoing it to the page. If I pass that text into the addRole function (as $myRole) it doesn't work. If I hard code the exact same text into addRole it does work.

Do I need to change my getRole function to return the text in a different format?

function getRole($role) {
	// return name of role based on id from register_member_role
	switch ($role) {
		case 1:
			return "type1";
			break;
		case 2:
			return "type2";
			break;
		case 3:
			return "type3";
			break;
		default:
			return "type1";
	}
}

$loginRegister = $modules->get('LoginRegister');

$myRole = getRole($input->post('register_member_role'));
										
wire()->addHookBefore('LoginRegister::createdUser', function($event) {
	$u = $event->arguments[0]; 
	$u->addRole($myRole);
	$u->save();
});
					
echo $loginRegister->execute();

I think I've done that correctly. Please see attached.

user_1 has an id of 57.
owners has an id of 58.

So I've added

$config->userTemplateIDs = array(3, 57);
$config->usersPageIDs = array(29, 58);

to config.php.

Thank you @Jan Romero. For some reason, when I'm adding a new user now, I get '/processwire/access/users/' as the only option for the parent. Have I forgotten something?

Hi

I'm creating a site where people can vote on dogs.

To start with, I need the dog owners to register and then upload text, images, and videos about their dog. What I thought I could do is to create a page when the user registers. The page would be unique by using the member ID. So I would end up with:

Home
     - Members
          -1001
          -1021
          -1025
 

Then each member page would have 1 or more children which would be the dogs that they have added.

I just wanted to ask if that is a good way of doing things or if there's maybe a much simpler way of doing this.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Sorry, but I have added several fields to the user template.

I am then using:

$loginRegister = $modules->get('LoginRegister');
echo $loginRegister->execute();

But still I only get the email address and 2 x set password boxes. Have I forgotten something?

Thanks Sephiroth. Although I think that is too advanced for me at this stage. It looks very impressive though. I will try to do it a less fancy way.

Thank-you. I did wonder whether I could keep it all separate so that I didn't have to give the public access to /processwire.

So if I keep my member pages part of the front-end and then create pages based on what they add. Should I use the person's user id to keep the directory structure unique? E.g., members/46/my-page/.

Dear ProcessWire community

Before I jump right into this new project of mine and then realise it's not going to work, I'd be very grateful if I could get some advice on the best way to achieve this.

My client wants people to be able to pay a small amount when registering to become a member. To help with this I have just bought Ryan's FormBuilder with Stripe payments module.

We then need the member to be able to log in and upload a few images (which I'll make a gallery out of) and possibly a short video.

What I'm hoping to do then is to create a user/role which will allow the member to log in to ProcessWire and have access to just a certain area to allow them to upload their content.

So I wanted to ask if that is a) possible, and b) the best way to go about it.

I have used ProcessWire before, but it was a few years ago so any help and advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

So easy, thanks!

Hi, I currently have this code:

$navigation = $page->rootParent->navigation

if(count($navigation) > 0)

{

foreach($navigation as $p)

{

$children = $p->children;

if(count($children) > 0)

{

// accordion header

}

else

{

// simple link

}

}

}

for outputting my navigation links, which works fine. But, for one section (news), I don't want the subpages (articles) to appear in the navigation. I have edited the code so that

if(count($children) > 0)

becomes

if(count($children) > 0 && $p->title != 'News')

so that news articles are excluded. But I think this is not a good way to do it. Can anyone share the normal/best way to exclude pages like this?

Thanks Craig, Raymond. I will try these options and see which works best for me.

Craig, thanks for this. I think I understand what you mean, but would this only allow me to add one 'other' link to my page? Or I am not getting it?

Ideally, I would need to be able to have a menu like:

<child page of this section>

<child page of this section>

<link to another page in the site>

<child page of this section>

<link to another page in the site>

<child page of this section>

Hi all

I have successfully built my very first navigation menu. It works by looping through the pages within a section and echoing the page title and url. The problem is, sometimes I will need a navigation link to take me to a page within a different section to the current one, and I have no idea how I could achieve this. Has anyone ever had to do this themselves, or have an idea how it could be achieved?
