Get first created admin user?

jenstornell · October 30, 2017, 7:59am

I try to get data from the first created admin user. This is what I ended up with:

$users = site()->users();
$users = $users->filterBy('role', 'admin');
$user = $users->sortBy('date', 'desc')->first();
print_r($user);

Everything works except for the sortBy. I get the result alphabetically instead of getting the first created user. I get the user aaa instead of jens.

I also tried modified and created with the same result.

The user object does not have a date field, unless you have added one?

But should use sortBy('modified') even if I don’t have a field like that or created? None of them work.

Another topic: sortBy('modified') actually sorts by 'created' dates

I’m quite sure I’ve sorted by the created datetime before, but not on users.

These are the user methods: https://getkirby.com/docs/cheatsheet#user

The page object has modified but there is no created method you could sort by (unless you have a field of that name).

The user object:

Thanks! I will solve this another way, probably by some fancy glob solution with kirby()->roots()->accounts(),

An alternative would be to add a field to the user when the user is created via a user.create hook. But why is that information important?

Here is a part of my now working class:

function username() {
    $users = site()->users();
    $users = $users->filterBy('role', 'admin')->toArray();
    
    $files = $this->getFiles();
    foreach($files as $file) {
        if(array_key_exists($file, $users)) {
            return $file;
        }
    }
}

function getFiles() {
    $glob = glob(kirby()->roots()->accounts() . DS . '*.php');
    usort($glob, function($a,$b){
        return filemtime($a) - filemtime($b);
    });
    foreach($glob as $item) {
        $parts[] = pathinfo($item)['filename'];
    }
    return $parts;
}

It works fine now. Maybe it’s possible to clean it up but for now it’s good.

The hook is a good alternative, but not in my case. I will keep my secret a while longer what it’s for, but I will probably tell you later today.
