Help choosing auth plugin

[eluser]laytone[/eluser]
Its easiest just to write your own Auth. Look into extending your controllers with MY_Controller and implement a '_checkLogin()' function.

When you controllers extend MY_Controller(), start with the constructor and call $this->_checkLogin()

This is how the Constructors in my 'Protected' controllers look:

Code:

class Admin extends MY_Controller {
    
    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct ();
        $this->load->model('Admin_model');
                //The next line of code makes sure I'm not trying to login and if I am not, it checks the login for usertype 'admin'
        if ($this->uri->segment(2) != 'login') $this->_check_login('admin');
        //$this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE);
    }

}

Here is an example of my /application/libraries/MY_Controller.php

Code:

class MY_Controller extends Controller {
    public function __construct() {
        parent::Controller ();
    }

    function _check_login($forwhat = 'controlpanel'){
        if ($this->session->userdata('loggedin') != TRUE){
            redirect ($forwhat.'/login');
        } else {
            if ($this->session->userdata('usertype') != $forwhat){
                $this->session->sess_destroy();
                redirect ($forwhat.'/login');
            }
        }
    }
}

This particular application has 3 types of users, controlpanel = end user, admin = the admins, and salesfloor = telemarketer login.

My controllers are the named after the user types so its easy to send the person to the correct login page (admin/login, controlpanel/login, salesfloor/login)

Its easy.
