Ajax login not working for community auth

It is possible that your ajax HTTP request is not be detected by CodeIgniter as a legitimate ajax request. If you look at the ajax_attempt_login method in the examples controller, you will see that it is checking for ajax only:

PHP Code:

if( $this->input->is_ajax_request() ) 


Try replacing that with:

PHP Code:

if( 1 == 1 ) 


If that works, your browser is just not including the header that CI uses to determine if an ajax request is happening. Remember, Community Auth examples are just examples, not code to build your entire app from.
