new user outside pw folder

[Frank Vèssia]

I always "fight"   with wire method, this time i need to create a new user outside PW root folder.

$name    	 = wire('sanitizer')->username(wire('input')->post->login_name);
$pass    	 = wire('input')->post->login_pass;
$email   	 = wire('sanitizer')->email(wire('input')->post->email);
$u 		 = new User(); 
$u->name 	 = $name; 
$u->pass 	 = $pass;
$u->addRole("guest");
$u->save();

i get error on addRole(), i need to add wire at some point but i don't know where.

Are you running 2.1 but not the latest commit? addUser() was added to 2.1 about week ago: http://processwire.com/talk/index.php/topic,509.0.html

Also not sure if you need to add "quest" role or is it added automatically.

If you aren't running the latest 2.1, you can also do this:

<?php
$role = $roles->get('role_name'); 
$user->roles->add($role); 

Also, to make your code more readable and easier to type, I would suggest localizing the API vars you are using, like this:

<?php
$input = wire('input');
$sanitizer = wire('sanitizer'); 

That way you can use them like you would in a template.
