What's the best way to change user information for sites only hosted on the local webserver?

[nevillepark]

Hi,

I have a Yellow site which isn't online—I run it locally (with php yellow.php serve) to use the web interface. I generate a static site and upload that to a static web host.

I want to change the email associated with my username.

Entering php yellow.php user change [email password] just seems to switch the current user, not change any details.

In yellow-user.ini it says "Pending: :." I assume it tried to send an email but since there's no mail server set up, it failed?

This comment suggests there is a way to do this by just editing yellow-user.ini and entering a new bcrypt hash. But it doesn't say what is used to generate the hash, though I assume it's something like "username email password". What text exactly do I need to enter for the hash?
Thanks in advance!

edit: Surprisingly, just changing the email address in the "Email: " field in yellow-user.ini worked!

In your case, I would recommend (due to the unknown flags set) to simply remove the account with

php yellow.php user remove [old email]

and to set it up again

php yellow.php user add [new email] [password].

Edit the details afterwards in your yellow-user.ini.

If the account is valid (not pending, active etc.) you could also change the Email line with a text editor in your yellow-user.ini.
