Can't create a user in admin interface.

Wednesday 22 July 2009 1:07:39 pm

To give a bit more detail. We have 3 class groups: Content, Users and Media. All of the classes from Media and Content show in the dropdown box to create. The two classes in the users class group (user and user group) don't show up in the. Must have something to do with the class group itself not displaying. Anyone got any ideas?

So how exactly do I create new user? Do I have to edit the template to give us the option to create a new user that can edit content?

In the children.tpl of the admin design, the closest thing I could find to your code is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{let can_create_classes=fetch( content, can_instantiate_class_list, hash( group_id, array( ezini( 'ClassGroupIDs',
'Users', 'content.ini' ), ezini( 'ClassGroupIDs', 'Setup', 'content.ini' ) ), parent_node, $node, filter_type, exclude )
)}

{section show=$node.path_array|contains(ezini( 'NodeSettings', 'UserRootNode', 'content.ini' ) )}
{set can_create_classes=fetch( content, can_instantiate_class_list, hash( group_id, ezini( 'ClassGroupIDs',
'Users', 'content.ini' ), parent_node, $node ) )}
{/section}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What part do I need to edit to be able to add users?

Also, is there a way to manually add users in the MySQL database in the 'ezuser' table? Thanks.

No, we just update the to the "new"* syntax when we do changes to code.
So it does the same thing.

What heat is suggesting is that you take a look at the settings used there, they are all in content.ini (with default settings from my install here):

[NodeSettings]
UserRootNode=5

[ClassGroupIDs]
Setup=4
Users=2

You can see these visually in admin including information about possible override values (in ini files that override the base ini settings) by going to -> Setup -> INI Settings -> content.ini + <admin_siteaccess_name> + Select

As for the meaning of these settings to understand what they do, this is almost always to some extent described in the base ini file, normally in settings/<file>.ini, unless its a extension specific ini file where it would be extension/<extension>/settings/<file>.ini[.append.php]

In this case its settings/content.ini:
http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/settings/content.ini

ClassGroupIDs is however not described, it is like the name hints a bunch of class group id's for built in class groups.
You can find them in -> Setup -> Classes

To me it sounds like your user and user group classes are not member of the User class group for some reason, if you cant figure it out, simply change the code you pasted to something like (try without "'parent_node', false()" if it gives warnings):

{let can_create_classes=fetch( 'content', 'can_instantiate_class_list', hash( 'parent_node', false() ))}

Same problem here. I getting it when i switch my database from mysql to oracle. Everything working fine the only thing i cant do is add a new user while my dropdown menu is empty.

Someone found meanwhile a fix for this problem?
