hi there ,

download my library -> http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/ifresco-phplib/

i implemented some functions of the AdministrationService -> which can be found in Administration.php

there you find the method "createUser" …. also there is an UserDetails.php

So what you should do create a object by using the UserDetails then you should add the parameters to the UserDetails object like $object->cm_name and so on and then send it to the method of createUser in Administration.php

Thats not really nice implemented right now in the next versions of my ifresco phplibrary ill implement that.

<?php
   $repositoryUrl = "http://myurl.com/alfresco/api";
   $userName = "admin";
   $password = "adminpassword";

   // Include the required Alfresco PHP API objects
   require_once "Alfresco/Service/Repository.php";
   require_once "Alfresco/Service/Session.php";
   require_once "Alfresco/Service/SpacesStore.php";
   require_once "Alfresco/Service/UserDetail.php";
   require_once "Alfresco/Service/Administration.php";

   // Authenticate the user and create a session
   $repository       = new Repository($repositoryUrl);
   $ticket          = $repository->authenticate($userName, $password);
   $session          = $repository->createSession($ticket);
   $store          = new SpacesStore($session);

   $new_admin_object   = new Administration($repository, $store, $session);
   $my_user_details   = $new_admin_object->getUser("admin");
       //This is perfectly work…………

/*
       //This is not working
   $new_user_object   = new UserDetail($session, $store, "userName=>newusername, password=>newpassword", $node=null, $id=null);
        $new_admin_object2   = new Administration($repository, $store, $session);
        $my_user_details   = $new_admin_object2->createUser($new_user_object);

*/
?>

There is no "newUsers" in WSDL. I've changed it to "createUsers". But there are another errors.

Help me to solve this problem. Could you please post a sample code for create user.

Thanks

Hello,
I installed ifresco library 0.2 and tested your code but I have this error :

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [Client] Function ("createUser") is not a valid method for this service in /home/vtiger510/www/alfresco_php/Alfresco/Service/WebService/AlfrescoWebService.php:65 Stack trace: #0 /home/vtiger510/www/alfresco_php/Alfresco/Service/WebService/AlfrescoWebService.php(65): SoapClient->__soapCall('createUser', Array, Array, Array, Array) #1 /home/vtiger510/www/alfresco_php/Alfresco/Service/WebService/AlfrescoWebService.php(47): AlfrescoWebService->__soapCall('createUser', Array) #2 [internal function]: AlfrescoWebService->__call('createUser', Array) #3 /home/vtiger510/www/alfresco_php/Alfresco/Service/Administration.php(76): AlfrescoWebService->createUser(Array) #4 /home/vtiger510/www/alfresco_php/examples/import_users/index.php(82): Administration->createUser(Array) #5 {main} thrown in /home/vtiger510/www/alfresco_php/Alfresco/Service/WebService/AlfrescoWebService.php on line 65‍

(The sample

SimpleBrowse

in the ifresco examples works like a charm).

Do you know where I can investigate ?
Thanks a lot

I also already posted you the answer on the private message

in the ifresco client library 0.2 there is still this bug which samudaya reported:

So the fix is:

modify the Administration.php and go to line 75 + 76:

which is:

$result = $this->administrationService->newUsers(array(
                            "createUsers" => $userDetails));‍‍

modify it to:

$result = $this->administrationService->createUsers(array(
                            "newUsers" => $userDetails));‍‍

Not tested. please tell me if it worked

Hello Dominik,
Thank you for your help, it works !

There's another small bug in Alfresco/Service/Repository.php line 45 that I corrected :

Line 45 :

   public function __construct($connectionUrl="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api")
‍‍

should be replaced by the url in config.php

and line 50

$this->_port = $parts["port"];‍

did not work with my url (https://www.url.net/alfresco/api). I hardcoded

$this->_port = 443;‍

By the way thanks for your work.
Regards

Do you know how to define "User-Group" and "User-Home" when we create user account by using "ifresco-phplib" ?

Thanks for your great help…

Any ideas from our forum friends?

Thanks

Hi,

how about if u add this to the NamedValues:


$NamedValues->cm_homeFolder  = "workspace://SpacesStore/nodeid";
‍‍‍

did u try that already?

Re: Create Users By Using Remote PHP-Apache System

Hi ddanninger,

Thanks for your post. My issue is how to create folder for each user inside specific folder.

Eg:
|
|——-User (Management)
|————|
|————|——— User-1
|————|
|————|——— User-2
|————|
|————|——— User-3
|
|

When I use

$NamedValues->cm_homeFolder  = "workspace://SpacesStore/nodeid";‍

User (Management) is become a all users' (User-1, User-2 and User-3) home folder.

So how to create new folder for each user (User-name is perfect for folder name) when I create new users by using "ifresco-phplib"?

Thanks
Samudaya

Well should be a simple thing.

before you create the user create a folder -

e.g you got the input data of the user which u wanna create

username: dominik
and so on….

Get the node of the "User Homes" folder like u know the nodeid or you use lucene or you check the childs of company home.

And then create a Child node under User Homes: and set this node to the user which u will create then




$username = "dominik";
$usermail = "mail@example.com";
$password = "xxx";
$firstName = "dominiK";

$repositoryUrl = "http://dms.abc.com:8080/alfresco/api";
   $userName = "admin";
   $password = "my-admin-password";

   $repository       = new Repository($repositoryUrl);
   $ticket          = $repository->authenticate($userName, $password);
   $session          = $repository->createSession($ticket);
   $spacesStore       = new SpacesStore($session);

$MainNode = $session->getNode($spacesStore, "workspace://SpacesStore/nodeidof-user-homes");
$folderName = $username;
$userNode = $MainNode->createChild("cm_folder", "cm_contains", "cm_".$folderName); 
$userNode->name = $folderName;
$sesssion->save();

$administration = new Administration($repository,$spacesStore,$session);
   
$NamedValues             = new NamedValues($session);
$NamedValues->cm_firstName    = $username;
   $NamedValues->cm_lastName    = $firstName;
   $NamedValues->cm_email       = $usermail;
 $NamedValues->cm_homeFolder      = $userNode->__toString();
   $userDetails             = array("userName"=>$username, "password"=>$password, "properties"=>$NamedValues->__toArray());
   $administration->createUser($userDetails);

Hi ddanninger,

Thanks for your post.

$MainNode = $session->getNode($spacesStore, "workspace://SpacesStore/nodeidof-user-homes");‍

How can I find nodeidof-user-homes ?

Thanks
