Cannot create Users

dogzipp

I've managed to connect to the API, get my token, and do some basic "get" functions, like api/forums or api/users.

But when I try to POSt to api/users, I get a 500 error from my server (empty content).

Is POST to api/users working?

Unfortunately, there's not much (if any) documentation for the API methods (besides getting the token).

I am sending this JSON packet in the body:

{"username":"test","password":"test"}

Can you post the error message for the 500 error? You should be able to find it in the server's error logs.

Ah, our API conforms to the JSON-API standard.

The user data should be sent like this:

{
  "data": {
    "attributes": {
      "username":"test",
      "email":"abc@def.org",
      "password":"test"
    }
  }
}

WIll test it. BTW the email notifications of stuff like the above, are really messed up.

Shows like this:

How is the JSON packet supposed to look like for updating user information? (email or password, since I guess username cannot be changed)

dogzipp

Franz?

Come on, no help?

dogzipp Try updating your profile here on the forums and inspecting the payload of the ajax call. That should be sufficient.

Franz

dogzipp I was busy finishing my thesis until yesterday. 😉

You can use POST, by the way, but you'll have to add the following custom header to the request:

X-Fake-Http-Method: patch

Be careful, though - that will only work with the latest release. If you're on development code, you'll have to use the X-HTTP-Method-Override header instead.

luceos the password reset form, is just a form. I cannot see any ajax payload.

dogzipp

Franz Thank you Franz. Still figuring out how to update information.

I am not even to change it here on the site. After I get a password reset link, I get this when trying to change it:

Flarum \ Http \ Exception \ TokenMismatchException
