JamesBack

Hi, im a newbie using flarum. I want to know how can i insert new user in flarum ???

You joined this forum 23 minutes ago, so I guess you know, how to add a new user.

Otherwise, might you elaborate a little bit more what you want to do?

I guess @JamesBack wants to know how to manually add a user.. That's not possible right now, the user has to sign up by himself or you can do it on their behalf.

JamesBack

I'm sorry my English is not so good..
i mean that i install flarum in localhost in my pc, but there is just one admin and i want to insert a new user in flarum. how can i do that ? i've google it and some people suggest to using api, but i don't understand how to use that.

JamesBack Log out and register a new user yourself.

JamesBack

jordanjay29 but there is no option for register new user sir

luceos

JamesBack just log yourself out from your forum, then click "sign up" as if you are a new user. If you don't see that option make sure those permissions are set up correctly in the admin area.

JamesBack

luceos so if we want to add new user we must sign up?
can't admin make new user sir?

JamesBack

oh how fool am i, i don't see the sign up at administration area.
Thanks for help me to solve this problem sir, im so sorry if im so much asking because im very newbie here.

Hi, I think I have the same problem.
I am pretty new to web dev and I am trying to create my own forum by using the FLARUM template. I am using localhost to have a try and now it can run smoothly. But when I log out the admin account and try to sign up a member, let's say the username is tony, after I click the 'sign up' button, it shows an error in that page. Later I find I can log in by using the tony account, but it shows that I need to verify the account. So now I cannot use it to post, response or upvote/downvote.
I think perhaps this is due to I did not set the administration email, but when I tried to add the email of admin account, it shows 'an error happened' so I cannot add that email.
Then I tried to sign up an account with my valid email, but still does not work.
So now I wonder whether this is due to some problems in installing the flarum? As I guess sign up a new user with the localhost should not be so tedious.
Or, is it possible that we can create new users without the verification for the forum? Thanks!

chingyu you can manually verify users as an admin by opening the user's profile (you can search for them) and using the edit option. There's an activation button on it if the user's email is not verified.

There's also an extension that removes the email verification requirement, which should make it easier to test.

jordanjay29 Thank you so much! Finally I know hot to search users as an admin and the extension also works.
But I wonder whether it is possible to do it in the MySQL databse or other backend page? As I wonder whether it is possible to check the whole user group at one time in stead of searching their name one by one. But I have no idea where is the database and I have not yet found the solution via google...
