Check if session is started otherwise redirect to home with message - El Forum - 04-14-2012

[eluser]ReyPM[/eluser]
Hi, I'm trying to check if users has logged in in my site and if not then redirect it to login page but I need this across all the function in my controllers. I don't want to repeat the code so I think in this:

Code:
function __construct() {

        parent::__construct();

        if(!$this->session->userdata('session_id')) {

            $this->session->set_flashdata("no_logged_in", "No tiene permisos para acceder a esta p&aacute;gina, por favor " . anchor(site_url() , 'inicie sesi&oacute;n'));

        }

}

But it's not working because users still able to access for example /users/search when this should not be possible until them signin. Any help?

Cheers

because you're not actually blocking access. All I can see you doing is setting flashdata.
Why don't you redirect them?

Code:
if(!$this->session->userdata('session_id')) {

            $this->session->set_flashdata("no_logged_in", "No tiene permisos para acceder a esta p&aacute;gina, por favor " . anchor(site_url() , 'inicie sesi&oacute;n'));

redirect('/');

        }
