Community-Auth variables? - solidcodes - 03-04-2016

I'm trying to access the variables inside the controller?

Code:
class Front extends MY_Controller

{

    function __construct()

    {

        parent::__construct();

        $this->load->helper('array_object_helper');

        $this->load->helper('array_helper');

        $this->load->model('codesmastery_mdl');

        //get languages from DB.

        $languages = $this->codesmastery_mdl->get_languages();     

        $this->session->set_flashdata('flash_msg_lang', $languages);

        //Get Community-auth variables

        echo '<b>username: </b>' . $this->auth_username;

    }

But unfortunately I got this error

Code:
Message: Undefined property: Front::$auth_username

So why is this happening?
skunkbad can you help me?

thanks in advance.

You haven't called any auth method, like is_logged_in, require_role, etc. The variables aren't going to be there until you do. Since you're in the constructor, you might just call $this->is_logged_in() before you need auth_username

thanks dude.

+1 to make it 20. Wink

RE: Community-Auth variables? - solidcodes - 03-04-2016

actually I want the $auth_username in the view.

I tried like this below,

Code:
<?php

                    if(is_logged_in()) {

                        echo $auth_username;

                    }

                ?>

but I got error.

the proper way to acces the variables in view?

thanks in advance.

Is_logged_in is a controller method, so call it in the controller with $this->

Hi skunkbad sorry for this inconvenience.
I re-dig the codes again and I found out the documentation and the actual codes do not matched.

In the documentation for example it says this for view variables.

Code:
$auth_username

But the actual codes said this,

Code:
        // Set user specific variables to be available in all views

        $data = array(

            'auth_user_id'    => $this->auth_user_id,

            'auth_user_name'  => $this->auth_user_name,

            'auth_level'      => $this->auth_level,

            'auth_role'       => $this->auth_role,

            'auth_email'      => $this->auth_email

        );

confusing

lol

You may have an older version of Auth_Controller.php, because auth_user_name was switched to auth_username a while back. This change was made to avoid confusion, but apparently it created some Smile

RE: Community-Auth variables? - solidcodes - 03-05-2016

Yes I'm using old version of CodeIgniter 3.0 only and older version of Community-Auth.
This is fine for me now, because I'm in a hurry!!!

lol
