Got a strange problem with the Create New User button being disabled on a site running Kirby 4.8. No sure what is causing this or where to look really. I am logged in as an Admin. Can edit existing users created before this problem arose. but cannot create brand new users.
This site does have several user roles setup and a front end login.
What would cause this?
Still not sure how to solve this one. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?
Do you have any hooks, plugins or so in place? If so, which ones. Have you checked all user blueprints?
How do you log in as admin, via the frontend login? What is the error message if any? If none, please use some debug statements to get an error message.
Finally found the cause but not a solution, but its probably something that be tested on another project. I am not the only dev working on the backend of this project, so im not 100% familar with eveything thats going in terms of custom code, method, hooks etc.
The cause turned out to be a custom plugin that modifies the list of uses in the panel to sort them alphabetically by name in ascending order. If i disable this plugin, the new user button becomes usable again. This did previously work but its an oldish site so maybe an update to Kirby in the meantime has caused this to break.
Bascially im logged into the Panel as an Admin and the add new user button is disbled with this plugin installed
heres the plugin code:
<?php
Kirby::plugin('custom/users', [
'areas' => [
'users' => function () {
return [
'views' => [
'users' => [
'pattern' => 'users',
'action' => function () {
$kirby = kirby();
$role = get('role');
$roles = $kirby->roles()->toArray(fn ($role) => [
'id' => $role->id(),
'title' => $role->title(),
]);
return [
'component' => 'k-users-view',
'props' => [
'role' => function () use ($kirby, $roles, $role) {
if ($role) {
return $roles[$role] ?? null;
}
},
'roles' => array_values($roles),
'users' => function () use ($kirby, $role) {
$users = $kirby->users();
if (empty($role) === false) {
$users = $users->role($role);
}
$users = $users->sortBy('name', 'asc');
$users = $users->paginate([
'limit' => 100,
'page' => get('page')
]);
return [
'data' => $users->values(fn ($user) => [
'id' => $user->id(),
'image' => $user->panel()->image(),
'info' => Escape::html($user->role()->title()),
'link' => $user->panel()->url(true),
'text' => Escape::html($user->username())
]),
'pagination' => $users->pagination()->toArray()
];
},
]
];
}
],
]
];
}
]
]);
Does anything jump out there as needing updating? The site is running kirby 4.8.0. This site has potentially hundreds of user accounts (but not with panel access)
I checked the default users view in 4.8, and it has under props:
'canCreate' => $kirby->roles()->canBeCreated()->count() > 0,
So you need to add that
Bingo! thank you, all good now, the button is alive again
