DX Auth 1.0.6 (Authentication library)

[eluser]Iverson[/eluser]
So there's been talk about the config vars being static. This is probably my biggest problem with dx auth(Other than that, it's by far the best CI lib for authentication I've used thus far. Thanks <b>dexcell</b>). If anybody's interested, I made some mos to the library and created a <b>dx_auth_config</b> table. All the variables get set from the value in the database except the views. I figured there wasn't really a dire need to be able to dynamically change these so they're still in dx_auth.php in <i>application/config</i>. I've attached the sql file. All you have to do is import it.

<b>Changes in DX_Auth.php</b>

Include this line with the class variables:

Code:

var $_config_table = 'dx_auth_config';

This is the new _init() function:

Code:

function _init()
    {
        // When we load this library, auto Login any returning users
        $this->autologin();
        
        // Init helper config variable

$get_config_vars = $this->ci->db->query('SELECT field, value FROM ' . $this->_config_table);

foreach ($get_config_vars->result() as $row)
{
    $field = $row->field;
    // Models access the config variable so we'll set the config var it in here to not cause any problems!
    $this->ci->config->set_item($field, $row->value);
    
    // Set this class' variables as well
    $this->$field = $row->value;
}

        // Forms view
        $this->login_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_login_view');
        $this->register_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_register_view');
        $this->forgot_password_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_forgot_password_view');
        $this->change_password_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_change_password_view');
        $this->cancel_account_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_cancel_account_view');
        
        // Pages view
        $this->deny_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_deny_view');
        $this->banned_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_banned_view');
        $this->logged_in_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_logged_in_view');
        $this->logout_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_logout_view');        
        
        $this->register_success_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_register_success_view');
        $this->activate_success_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_activate_success_view');
        $this->forgot_password_success_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_forgot_password_success_view');
        $this->reset_password_success_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_reset_password_success_view');
        $this->change_password_success_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_change_password_success_view');
        
        $this->register_disabled_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_register_disabled_view');
        $this->activate_failed_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_activate_failed_view');
        $this->reset_password_failed_view = $this->ci->config->item('DX_reset_password_failed_view');
    }

<b>Changes in <i>application/config/dx_auth.php</i></b>
Simply comment out all variables except the view variables. Or you can download the one created. I left all the comments in because it's really well documented


If anyone disagrees with this, let me know why so I'll know if I need to revert back to static vars. The main benefit of this is that the admin panel I'm creating will be able to change all my authentication settings from a GUI instead of having to edit a static file.
