Create new member programmatically?

[Tom S.]

Is there a class/function I can use to create a new member programmatically?

So, I pass in the necessary parameters, such as display name, email, password, etc. And it creates an account?

Example I use in one of my resources:

	$password = \IPS\Login::generateRandomString( 8 );
	$member 	= new \IPS\Member;
	$member->name	= 'Name';
	$member->email	= 'something@domain.com';
	$member->setLocalPassword( $password );
	$member->member_group_id = 3;
	$member->save();

	$member->members_pass_hash  = \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->members_pass_hash;
	$member->member_group_id	= 3;
	$member->save();

 

Thank you so much. A few questions if you do not mind:

1. Does this method create a random password? Or what exactly is going on with the password part?

2. How do you set a secondary group value?

3. Do you know how to set "Send confirmation email" to either true or false?

I edited my post above.

- Random password:

	$password = \IPS\Login::generateRandomString( 8 );
	$member->setLocalPassword( $password );

Or you can use:

	$member->setLocalPassword( $values['password'] );

Or even a hardcoded value:

	$member->setLocalPassword( '123456' );

- Secondary groups:

	$member->mgroup_others = implode( ',', $groupsArray );

- Confirmation email:

	$member->members_bitoptions['validating'] = TRUE;

This will put the new member under validation and will (probably) send the email.

Is that what you asked regarding confirmation email?

Brilliant! Thanks Adriano.

You can alternatively use the REST API to create a new member.
