Add new Users (automatically)

[asphix]

thanks a million for this script cause I really needed it
it works like a charm

[bradsears]

I'd really like to be able to set the cookie and log the user in after they are instantly registered. Any ideas?

[scorinaldi]

i agree wtih bradsears. can anyone shed some light on how to automatically log in a user?

do we just set the cookies and that's it?

[workRelated]

I recently added a field to the user profile (gender)
I also renamed location to country
I would like to be able to automatically set these fields similarly to the other fields in the above example. Im unclear as to how this would be possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't have to use CURL to do it, but you have to include globals.php in your script root if you want to create the user from within a function or method.

You also have to remember to retrieve the global vbulletin variable to pass into the datamanager class.

I spent the last few hours working that out, hopefully it'll help someone else!

Thanks. Would you mind posting the code you used?

i use a modified version of the code they gave a couple posts back which works great for me.

<?php
$username="username";
$email="email@address.com";
$password="password";
$usergroupid="2";
$timezoneoffset="-6";
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'remote_register.php');
chdir('/home/site/public_html/forum'); 
require_once('./global.php');
require_once('./includes/class_dm.php');
require_once('./includes/class_dm_user.php');
$userdm = new vB_DataManager_User($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);

$userdm->set('username', $username);
$userdm->set('email', $email);
$userdm->set('password', $password);
$userdm->set('usergroupid',$usergroupid);
$userdm->set('ipaddress', $ipaddress);
$userdm->set('timezoneoffset', $timezoneoffset);
$userdm->set_bitfield('options', 'adminemail', '1');
$userdm->set_bitfield('options', 'showemail', '1');

#If there are errors (eMail not set, eMail banned, Username taken, etc.) you can check for errors using
if (count($userdm->errors)) {
for($i=0; $i<count($userdm->errors); $i++) {
print "ERROR{$i}:{$userdm->errors[$i]}\n";
}
} else {
# If everything is OK
$newuserid = $userdm->save();
print "vbuserid:$newuserid\n";
}
chdir('/home/site/public_html/'); 
?>

I would have taken more time to tinker with it, and possibilly put it in a function, but as there is only 1 place in my scripting but that works fine for me.
Im running it on vBulletin 3.6.2

Its possible verify if the usergroup exists before add to database the new user?

Exemple, to test I set the usergroup to 2000000 and VB ignore and inserted the user normally.

ps: same problem with password field, I set like empty and vbulletin inserted the data..

Hello All,


I'm using the following code, posted by Brad Sears, for sending out activation emails after adding a user via the script on this thread:

PHP Code:

$activateid = build_user_activation_id($newuserid, 2, 0);
eval(fetch_email_phrases('activateaccount'));
vbmail($email, $subject, $message, true); 


It works, sort of. The only problem is that the email does not contain the username of the user being emailed (it begins "Welcome, (blank)"). The userid in the links and the email address it sends to are correct, but no username...

Do I need to pass additional variables to these functions?


Thanks!

Tim
