Announcing Bonfire - A jumpstart for your web apps

[quote author="Basketcasesoftware" date="1303041996"]I could sporadically get Bonfire to connect to the database on the first screen of install, the next one wrote to the files correctly, but when Bonfire tried connecting to the DB to create the tables it started having connection errors. Tried to go back and start the installer again, but then it would not recognize the connection data for the connection test that had worked previously. VERY VERY odd.[/quote]

Yes, it was the men's suits that I saw.

Damn, was hoping you got it working. Sorry to hear about the issues. That's really strange. Haven't seen that one yet. What type of server are you running on?

Great job! This looks very exciting. I wonder how complicated it may be if I am to combine this with the A3M authentication system?

[eluser]kilishan[/eluser]
Thanks!

Using a different auth system might be a little complex. Everything is built around the current auth that is in it. I am planning on some additions to the auth system to allow different auth plugins (like Facebook, Twitter, etc) which should help alleviate some of those issues.

The easiest way to integrate would probably be to add a couple of functions to the auth of your choice that use the same name, though checking permissions for apps is done in a pretty specific way, so it could be a pain.

What are the parts of A3M that make you choose that one?

@kilishan

Thanks for your reply. I'm quite the novice so I'm not sure I can combine them as you say. I love Bonfire but I really need native and third party authentication: FB, twitter and OpenID. That's the only reason I'm with A3M now.

[eluser]kilishan[/eluser]
That is definitely in the plans, but I haven't started on it yet.

Keep an eye on the project and it should evolve to meet your needs

First of all I love this project! :-)

I too would love to see something like A3M or Eric Bae's Tank Auth version (https://github.com/ericbae/Tank-Auth---3...on-Project) integrated.

I conceptually might have something later to help with that authorization issue, but my current project forbids the time to get her rolling.

Anyways, still haven't worked on the host site issue yet. Just focusing on the development machine right now. Maybe if I just upload the finished product to the server (with appropriate mods), it will work finally.

I noticed a potential hole in the Assets class. It be nice if it recognizes duplicate js and css files in the arrays. And the media parameter should be able to be passed as an array (a style may apply to several types of media). That I might have time to code and submit here.

I'm using Hosting 24 as my service. Last I knew they are a LAMP host. I know I had an odd issue installing PyroCMS though. It seemed to only work with the Zend server setting if I recall correctly. I don't know what the mechanical differences are. :-S Yet I have had no troubles at all installing Joomla and phpBB on the same host.

[quote author="kilishan" date="1302895877"]@ac1drain Did you get this figured out? Were there any changes needed to Bonfire? It almost sounded like part of the database roles hadn't been inserted properly during install, but not sure.[/quote]

yes, i had a previous cookie from a previous CI installation and it was interfering with the BONFIRE login cookie.

[eluser]kilishan[/eluser]
@ac1drain - Glad to hear it was something simple.
