Myth:Auth

I put this together tonight may help you.

PHP Code:

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------

    /**
     * getUser ()
     * -------------------------------------------------------------------
     *
     * Usage:
     * NOTE: $id can be left blank it will then user the auth_helper
     *       user_id() method. But this only works if user is logged in.
     *
     * $user = $this->getUser($id);
     * $user = $this->getUser();
     *
     * echo $user->username;
     *
     * @param  int $id
     * @return object
     */
    public function getUser(int $id = 0) : object
    {
        $data = [];

        // connect to the database.
        $db = db_connect();
        $builder = $db->table('users');

        /**
         * check user id if it does not exsist we assign the admin id
         * to avoid error.
         */
        if ($id == 0)
        {
            // get the logged in user
            if (user_id() != null)
            {
                $id = user_id();
            }
            else
            {
                $id = 1;
            }
        }

        // get the users record.
        $query = $builder->where('id', $id)
                         ->get();

        $results = $query->getResult();

        foreach ($results as $row)
        {
            $data = $row;
        }

        $query->freeResult();

        return $data;
    } 


Returns the complete user object.

Perfect, thanks

You can change the result to an array if you like, I like to work with objects.

Almost there, one thing though...

I'm trying to create a form where administrators can create new users. It has a list of groups that can be assigned to the new user. By reading Myth's code I figured out how to create the user in my own controller and how to assign groups to user id with GroupModel. My problem is, I don't know the user id of the newly created user.

Is there some direct way to find out what the user id is?

Code:

$users = model('UserModel');
...
$user = new User($this->request->getPost($allowedPostFields));
$users->save($user);

// how do i get the id of the newly created $user?

You need to return the insert id of the new user, you could also pass it in the session.

PHP Code:

$db->insertID()

Thanks.
Much simpler than the custom User model and entity I wrote to get around the problem

Nice work and nice package!

I have question

How to extends user model & user entities ?. I get this error when try to load getDisplayName() function on Entities

ErrorException #1

Class 'Myth\Auth\Entities\User' not found

app/Entities/User.php

PHP Code:

<?php namespace App\Entities;

class User extends \Myth\Auth\Entities\User
{
    public function getDisplayName()
    {
        return 'test';
    }
} 


app/Models/UserModel.php

PHP Code:

<?php namespace App\Models;

class UserModel extends \Myth\Auth\Models\UserModel
{
protected $returnType = 'App\Entities\User';
    protected $allowedFields = [
        'email', 'username', 'password_hash', 'reset_hash', 'reset_at', 'reset_expires', 'activate_hash',
        'status', 'status_message', 'active', 'force_pass_reset', 'permissions', 'deleted_at',
        'firstname', 'lastname', 'phone',
    ];
} 


Thanks

“ Class 'Myth\Auth\Entities\User' not found”

Sounds like you don’t have the package installed correctly. Are you able to use other portions of it?

Nevermind m8, i found this issue. I need to load function authentication on Services and all is working good. good reference for extending entities and so on . i take it from : https://github.com/lonnieezell/myth-forums

In Config/Auth.php theres this:

PHP Code:

    //--------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Allow Invitations
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------
    // When enabled (default) users may invite unregistered users to
    // create an account and collaborate on a specific job. This will
    // generate a tokenized URL to send to the specified email that will
    // prompt the user to make an account.
    //
    public $allowInvitations = true; 


How can I generate the tokenized URL?
Didn't find anything in the docs or the source code.
