Get users

[yesjoar]

Hi there,

is it possible to became all backend users in the frontend?

$user worked only for the current user. I thought there is something like $page and $pages.

When I try var_dump($user) and var_dump($users) I became different results, but in both results there are not the other users.

I think there is no function for that yet, but is it possible to get acces on a other way?

I need a way to change some fields of a special user in the frontend.

Its $users like $pages. Forget var dump:-)

Also the cheatsheet is your friend ;-) http://processwire.com/api/cheatsheet/

Oh man, I forgot the cheatsheet. Thanks!

I only looked into the API section and there is no $users.

Because they're pages. so same applies.

And it's there.. http://processwire.com/api/cheatsheet/?filter=users

Okay, now i display all users with a special content in given field.

That works fine for me. But when I want to change the role of each user i've found.

 $allusers = $users->find("field=xyz");
 foreach($allusers as $u){
  $u->removeRole('oldrole');
  $u->addRole('newrole');
  $u->save();
 }

But $u is a valid user object, or not?

What is the error? Possibly u need to turn off output formatting for the user before manipulating. $u->of(false).

Perfect, now it works. (:
