User Login Page?

[eluser]ywftdg[/eluser]
Curious on something in your auth library. I am trying to set the cookie to something else than the say user name, in my case username is the email. I want to use my user's id from the database instead for the cookie. I have been trying this, but its not working. Maybe I am just using the query variable wrong here, or maybe i'm missing something al together?

Code:

// Query time
    $this->CI->db->where('dEmail', $email);
    $this->CI->db->where('dPassword', $password);
    $query = $this->CI->db->get('designer');
    
    if ($query->num_rows() == 1)    {
        // Our user exists, set session.
        $designerid = $query[0]; //First item in array would be the designerid
        $this->CI->session->set_userdata('logged_user', $designerid );
        return TRUE;
    }     else {
        // No existing user.
        return FALSE;
        }
    }

Update, was able to fix changing to grab the row via:

Code:

foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
            $designerid = $row->dDesignerId;
        }
