How to add user accounts?

[markseuffert]

Installation comes without a default user. What's a good way to add one?

[markseuffert]

You can add user accounts from the command line:

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Go to your Yellow installation, where the yellow.php is.
3. Type the following line: php yellow.php user add email@example.com horsebatterystaple

Now you can login with email@example.com and password horsebatterystaple.

I've tried it, but it didn't work. Am I doing it wrong?

Jimmy, you can use cd to change directory and then ls to see files:

cd /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/yellowtest
ls

HI - And what is the way to add user without a terminal ? I mean by editing user.ini ? THX

[nibreh]

Ok, I used a terminal after install php5-cli ... sorry for my ignorance ;)

[markseuffert]

You can add a default user by editing the configuration:

1. Go to your Yellow installation, where the yellow.php is.
2. Open file system/config/user.ini and add the following line to the end:

demo@demo.com,$2y$10$8Jow5LJHDPOy6bv5IsHSi.3aF.mZqlSVN6VOVXvl/EsPEba7XVsba,Demo,en,/

Now you can login with demo@demo.com and password demo.

As a noob, I find editing the user.ini file is far easier than using terminal. Is there an online tool you could recommend to generate that kind of hashed password?

Here please, an online user account tool: https://demo.datenstrom.se/tests/new-user

Edit: Online tool has been removed, you can now create a user account in a web browser.
