Overwrite users in environment configuration

[heino-vdbh]

I need to change admin password in staging and prod.
Can I overwrite users in the environment configuration?
I have tried to put the users in user/localhost/accounts but it doesn't work.

You will need to override accounts:// stream in the stream configuration for that site.

[heino-vdbh]

Can you give me an example for that?

Here is documentation from the old way: https://learn.getgrav.org/16/advanced/multisite-setup

The new way is basically the same, but you can use streams.yaml where you have something like:

schemes:
  accounts:
    paths:
      - user/site/accounts

Do I have to use the Multisite Setup? Current I use only the Automatic Environment Configuration https://learn.getgrav.org/16/advanced/environment-config

You can just throw the streams.yaml file into your site config. But the ideas in the docs apply.

I put the ./user/localhost/config/streams.yaml with

schemes:
  accounts:
    paths:
      - user/localhost/accounts

and I put the user.yaml to user/localhost/accounts but it didn't work

Any news here. I believe I encountered the same problem here:

I am currently reworking my multisite. During that I wanted to move some files to sub directories as cleanup.

A brief structure

user/
- accounts/
- sites/
- - site1/
- - site2/

Both sites are mostly independent, but the users are the same. As the user stream is the site1/site2 directly, I wanted to overwrite the account stream. But as soon as I did that, Grav did not find any user and I got the redirected to create the first admin user.

My current workaround is to set "user" as additional path in the user stream.

I tried both ways. Setting it via config/streams.yaml and the "old way" as you called it in the setup.php. The Grav version is the current 1.7.RC20. But as I recall it also happened on 1.6.

Dumping the locator shows the seemingly correct path in the schemes.

To me this works:

schemes:
  account:
    type: 'Stream'
    force: true
    prefixes:
      '': 'user/accounts'

I think I got it working now. The solution seems to be moving to the "new" method of setting the streams using the streams.yaml and the environment variables. Using the old method (returning an array in setup.php) seems not to be working correctly. As far as I debugged it, the method initializeLocator is called four times. On the first call the values are right, but as soon the second call is made the array from setup.php seems to be ignored for some values and they will be reset to default.

Hopefully this will help you.

It "works" also from setup.php, but there's a caveat: it only serves as an initial configuration and as the variables are overridden in system/config/streams.php, it won't work. I removed the system file so that the examples should work again. I also updated documentation to prefer schemes.yaml.
