Programatically create user *with content*

Hi there,

In my user registration page, I need to create a user and on creation assign it some values to some fields.

In my registration controller, this works:

$user = $kirby->users()->create([
  'email' => $email,
  'password' => $password,
  'role' => 'exhibitor',
  'language' => 'en',
  'name' => $name
]);
$user->update([
  'exhibitor' => $exhibitor,
  'isVerified' => false,
  'token' => $token
]);

But this shorter, more elegant version, inspired by the docs, doesn’t:

$kirby->users()->create([
  'email' => $email,
  'password' => $password,
  'role' => 'exhibitor',
  'language' => 'en',
  'name' => $name,
  'content' => [
    'exhibitor' => $exhibitor,
    'isVerified' => false,
    'token' => $token
  ]
]);

Why?

No big deal if that’s the only way it can be done, but would like to at least understand the reason for this.

Do you have multi-language setup?

I do.

So you need to use translations index instead content:

$kirby->users()->create([
	'email'        => $email,
	'password'     => $password,
	'role'         => 'exhibitor',
	'language'     => 'en',
	'name'         => $name,
	'translations' => [
		[
			'code'    => 'en',
			'content' => [
				'exhibitor'  => $exhibitor,
				'isVerified' => false,
				'token'      => $token
			]
		]
	]
]);

Yes, that did it! Thanks, @ahmetbora!
