Ion Auth - Lightweight Auth System based on Redux Auth 2 - El Forum - 04-12-2010
[eluser]mckyja[/eluser]
Hi all, just getting started with CI and enjoying it (been years since i've done web stuff ).
I have been tasked with creating a simple web based employee management system for the HR department, and people need to be logged in at all times to view information. Ion_Auth seems to fit that need well.
Where would be the best place to put a kind of 'global' logged_in() check?
Is my understanding correct that extending the Controller with MY_Controller will provide that check every time any controller is called with something like this?
Code:
<?php
class MY_Controller extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('ion_auth');
$this->load->library('session');
if (!$this->ion_auth->logged_in()) {
//redirect them to the login page
redirect('auth/login', 'refresh');
}
}
}Thanks in advance,
Kyle.

Kyle,
That is the correct way to do it.
Good job man, hope you continue to enjoy working with CI and Ion Auth.

Thanks for the quick reply Ben, great community here from what i've seen
One other quick question for you, how can I use Ion to display User ID and first/last name.
(Sorry if this is a simple one, still getting up to speed on php and CI)
Thanks,
Kyle

Kyle,
You can just do
Code:
$user = $this->ion_auth->get_user();To get the user object and then you can access the properties like so
Code:
echo $user->id .' - '. $user->first_name .' '. $user->last_name;and of course you can pass the $user object to your view and echo the properties there.

I have a small problem with this. i am quite new to CI, but loving it so far. I installed it per the instructions on Github, and now when i try to access the auth controller from my browser it is redirecting me wrongly.
my install is localhost/AGN, therefore to access the auth demo, i would go to localhost/AGN/auth. when i go there it redirects me to localhost/AGN/localhost/AGN/auth/login, if i manually go to localhost/AGN/auth/login i can enter my credentials but then it redirects me to localhost/AGN/localhost/AGN/auth/login again on submit.
Hope you can help me fix this, as your tool looks extremely promising.

Zen,
Does the standard welcome controller work properly?

Yes, the welcome controller works fine, but it is not the default controller to be displayed.

Zen,
Check the redirects.

Thats the odd part, it all seems correct.
Code:
function index()
{
if (!$this->ion_auth->logged_in()) {
//redirect them to the login page
redirect('auth/login', 'refresh');
}
elseif (!$this->ion_auth->is_admin()) {
//redirect them to the home page because they must be an administrator to view this
redirect($this->config->item('base_url'), 'refresh');
}
else {
//set the flash data error message if there is one
$this->data['message'] = (validation_errors()) ? validation_errors() : $this->session->flashdata('message');
//list the users
$this->data['users'] = $this->ion_auth->get_users_array();
$this->load->view('auth/index', $this->data);
}
}when i go to localhost/AGN/auth, because i am not logged in, it should redirect me to auth/login. which is localhost/AGN (base url)/auth/login
...makes no sense to me
