Help! DX Auth, set_value vs. $this->input->post() - El Forum - 11-11-2009

I've installed DX Auth and everything looks good - except for the fact I cannot register a new user. I fill out the form, submit it and the page simply refreshes with no feedback. After hours of messing around with it, I discovered that, in the advanced example, if i remove the validation rules and initialization:

Code:
$val = $this->form_validation;

// Set form validation rules            

$val->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'trim|required|xss_clean|min_length['.$this->min_username.']|max_length['.$this->max_username.']|callback_username_check|alpha_dash');

$val->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'trim|required|xss_clean|min_length['.$this->min_password.']|max_length['.$this->max_password.']|matches[confirm_password]');

$val->set_rules('confirm_password', 'Confirm Password', 'trim|required|xss_clean');

$val->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'trim|required|xss_clean|valid_email|callback_email_check');

and change this line:

Code:
if ($val->run() AND $this->dx_auth->register($val->set_value('username'), $val->set_value('password'), $val->set_value('email')))

to this instead:

Code:
if ($this->dx_auth->register($this->input->post('username'), $this->input->post('password'), $this->input->post('email')))

...it works. sort of. i can now register a new user, but automatically just loading the register page - no need to submit a form! of course, that's of no use either, but it represents some sort of progress to me.

Has anyone else come across this? Is it a DX Auth issue? A CI issue? A combination? I'm lost, any help appreciated...

Sheesh, I'm 0 for 2 on auth libraries now. Redux 2 kept erroring out without any intervention, and this one has refused to do the simplest of tasks in 2 days now. Going for a bare bones system now then and to hell with the overwrought security implementations.

I'm using a modified version of redux 2 and I'm up and running, what problems are you having?

Hey there, many thanks. I get this on my welcome.php (default controller):

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: Welcome::$redux_auth

Filename: controllers/welcome.php

Line Number: 187

Edit: sorry, this is line 187:

Code:
$data['status'] = $this->redux_auth->logged_in();

Did you autoload it? Or for that matter load it anywhere?

Yeah, so I earned a few idiot points there. After checking through the sample app a little more carefully, found a slew of elements I wasn't loading. It's got me almost there now except for... wait for it... I am now exactly where I was with DX, and that's that it won't create a new user.

I'm starting to think it's something to do with form validation, but I can't for the life of me guess what that might be. It's loaded in autoload.php... so I'm lost still.

Are you getting any errors?

[eluser]Deadly[/eluser]
No, that's the frustrating part. I have error reporting on and get errors displayed in other situations, but in this case the page just quickly refreshes on submit and nothing is added to the db.

OK, so your calling the register method of redux, and you don't get anything back? It should return true or false...

Do you have email_activation turned on in your config?

I actually just tried turning that off and submitting again. Doesn't appear to have had any effect. I try just submitting the form empty as well to see if any errors are returned from validation but again, nothing.
