Login class

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello,
I want to create a global function that checks if the user is logged in and redirect to specific page without calling it in every page

any idea?

thanks

Yaron

something like this could be done, there are some other ways also

Code:

//put this class in the application/libraries folder
class Application extends Controller {

    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        
        if(!$this->session->userdata('user_id'))
            redirect("user/login");
    }

}

//this one is one of your controllers in the application/controllers
class Page extends Application {

    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        
        //your constructor code
    }
    
    public function index() {
        //your code
    }

}

Like Flaky posted extending the CI Controller is a good way
to do get the wanted result.
