troubles with flashdata

[eluser]Fenix[/eluser]
I am having trouble understanding how I can call the flashdata from this particular function (the login function from the ReduxAuth library) in my view. Please take a look at how I'm doing this... what I don't understand is why in the library it's using $this->ci->session-> but when I try to call it with that ci in there, it gives errors.


In the Library:

Code:

public function login ($email, $password)
        {            
            # Grab hash, password, id, activation_code and banned_id from database.
            $result = $this->_login($this->users_table, $this->banned_table, $email);
    
            if ($result)
            {
    
                if(!empty($result->activation_code))
                {
                    $this->ci->session->set_flashdata('login', 'Your Account is Not Activated.');
                    return 'NOT_ACTIVATED';
                }
                elseif(!empty($result->banned_id))
                {
                    $this->ci->session->set_flashdata('login', 'Your Account has been banned for the following reason : '.$result->reason);
                    return 'BANNED';
                }
                else
                {
                    $password = sha1($this->salt.$result->hash.$password);
    
                    if ($password === $result->password)
                    {
                        $this->ci->session->set_userdata(array('id'=> $result->id));
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }
            return false;
        }

In my controller:

Code:

switch ($redux)
            {
                case 'NOT_ACTIVATED':
                    // Page Data
                    $data['page_title'] = 'Login - Not Activated';
                    $data['center_col'] = 'login_view';
                    $data['login_message'] = $this->session->flashdata('login');
                    $this->load->view('template_view',$data);
                    break;
                    
                case 'BANNED':
                    // Page Data
                    $data['page_title'] = 'Login - Banned';
                    $data['center_col'] = 'login_view';
                    $data['login_message'] = $this->session->flashdata('login');
                    $this->load->view('template_view',$data);
                    break;
                    
                case false:
                    // Page Data
                    $data['page_title'] = 'Login - Invalid Credentials';
                    $data['center_col'] = 'login_view';
                    $data['login_message'] = $this->session->flashdata('login');
                    $this->load->view('template_view',$data);
                    break;
                    
                case true:
                    redirect('admin/dashboard');
                    break;
            }

In my view:

Code:

if(isset($login_message))
    {
        echo '<p>'.$login_message.'</p>';
    }

I've also tried using just the $this->session->flashdata('login') in my view, that didnt work. Then I tried redirecting to users/login instead of just loading the views in each switch case, still no luck.

Please help me out! THanks!
