[quote author="Bj_o_rn" date="1242508904"]The user_group() function checks for a variable called group_id but it was initiated as group. I'm not sure which one of the two is wrong though but group_id made more sense since that is the name used for the field in the database.[/quote]

Thanks. After making the changes you suggested, and updating the helper file, everything works just fine now.
I looked around in the library file before, perhaps maybe there was a typo, but I didn't catch that. Good eye.

Is there anyway to adjust the logout function so that when the user has successfully logged out it doesn't still show the Dashboard / Logout links... I notice after the logout you have to refresh the page before there gone.

I'm just getting started with Ci and this library (EAL?). I'm coming from a PHPLib environment (very old school) and am struggling some to wrap my head around all there is to learn in a very short time.

My question is about installation. After reading the docs, I see that I am to a "New database" with a "user" table. If I already have a database and a user table (some of the same columns but not all), what is your recommendation? Should I in fact create a new database or should I modify my existing user table to meet the needs of EAL?

My guess is that you should just modify it to fit the Auth library. But of course, as long as it works it should be fine.

I have the email address in another normalized table to capture multiple email addresses. Could the user table be a view? Or how best to handle the multiple tables?

[eluser]North2Alaska[/eluser]
I think I have things configured correctly. I am able to register a user, but no mater what I try, username or email address it will not log me in. I keep getting

"An Error Was Encountered
The username and password did not match our records, please try again."

As I am still trying to figure out the whole MCV model, I am not sure where to look to see where it is going wrong. Please help me take baby steps... :-)

I figured out the problem. I was converting my old users table to the new structure and missed changing the password length. I has it set to 35 and it needed to be 255. So, part of the password was being truncated. I am now up and running.

Adam, it looks like a bug in line 26 of auth_helper.php. The line reads:

if($system_group === $CI->session->userdata('group'))

I believe it should be:

if($system_group === $CI->session->userdata('group_id'))

as group_id is the value stored in the session.

Thanks for letting me know. I actually fixed this a couple of days ago in the latest commit to Github.


Thanks.

I like the time out feature that requires you to log back in if you have been idle. When I have a view that is protected by if (logged_in(() and timed out, how do I get the login to pop up, validate my credentials and then continue with the view I had previously attempted?
