Trying to Update Password via swpm_api_action update

[wmorning]

I have been trying to update the password of the simple membership user via swpm_api_action update api call.
Everything else seems to update fine except for the password.

Is this possible?

What is the correct field, or what do I need to do to update the password?

Any help would be appreciated my code is below here.

$post_arr = array(
‘swpm_api_action’ => ‘update’,
‘key’ => ‘##########’,
‘member_id’ => ‘111’,
‘first_name’ => ‘john’,
‘last_name’ => ‘jackson’,
‘password’ => ‘####’,
’email’ => ‘test@tes.com’,
‘phone’ => ”,
‘address_street’ => ”,
‘address_city’ => ”,
‘address_state’ => ”,
‘address_zipcode’ => ”,
‘country’ => ”,
‘company_name’ => ”
);

Hi,

Did you enter plain text for the password field as per the following instructions?

Hi

Thanks for response when you mean plain text as per instructions let say the password is dog12.

Would I put in the password field dog12

If yes then to answer your question I have been putting plain text in the password field.

Do you get an error response?

Try sending both the following fields (with same value):

password
password_re

I have tried with both fields having the exact same value it doesn’t return an error but it updates the other fields like zip code etc and the password remain the same. As in the password is not updated.

I have updated the API addon to fix a small issue with the password updating code. Please download a new copy and try it (the issue should be solved now):

There is an issue with the documentation or the code for creating members also. I’m sending a post request with the parameters of email, first_name & last_name, yet the response comes back with a failure message: “Missing one of the mandatory fields: first_name, last_name, email”.

The documentation also says it needs to be a POST request, sending “parameters”. But I take it that means sending a json object with those properties? Because there is also an option to send a get request using url parameters.

I think the documentation could be more explicit. But I’ve tried every combination I could think of and I always get the above error message.
