form validation and log-in - El Forum - 09-20-2011

[eluser]dwlamb[/eluser]
I'm m new to CI and am adding a log-in/authentication add-on to my application called SimpleLoginSecure. This particular add-on does not have any forms, which is ok for I'll create my own.

I am having a challenge with the logic of form validation and steps after the form is submitted. From the form validation tutorial, there's this key ingredient

Code:
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {

    $this->load->view('welcome_login', $data);

}

else {

    $this->load->view('formsuccess');

}

For my log-in, there's this simple function:

Code:

function login()

{

    $this->simpleloginsecure->login('[email protected]', 'uS$rpass!');    

}

Is it necessary to load a formsuccess once validation is TRUE or can I direct CI to go to function login() ?
