Login redirect error

[eluser]jcjc[/eluser]
I've created a MY_Controller to house an isLoggedIn function which will check if the session data has been set before allowing them into a page. Problem I have is when I go to view another page that's protected it reloads the dashboardView. I need it check if user is logged in before showing the page else send them to login.

Code:

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller
{

    function __construct()
    {
      
        parent::__construct();

        $this->is_logged_in();

    }

    function isLoggedIn()
    {
     $is_logged_in = $this->session->userdata('is_logged_in');

     if(!isset($is_logged_in) || $is_logged_in != TRUE)
     {
      redirect('/login');
     }
     else
     {
//THIS LINE I THINK NEEDS TO BE DYNAMIC.
      $this->load->view('dashboardView');
     }
    }


    

}

Thanks

Code:

<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller
{

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->_is_logged_in();
    }

    protected function _is_logged_in()
    {
        $is_logged_in = $this->session->userdata('is_logged_in');

        if (empty($is_logged_in))
        {
            // This is for normal HTTP requests.
            // You may check here and add behavior for AJAX too.
            redirect('login');
        }

        // THIS LINE I THINK NEEDS TO BE DYNAMIC.
        // Re: Just allow to continue, the class that extends MY_controller
        // will decide what view to load.
    }

I your site has pages that are publicly accessed and pages accessed by logged users only, I think you need to create yet another base controller, sort of MY_Public_Controller.

No all pages are private.

also tried your amendments and it doesn't work.

Sorry - scratch that,

added this instead of empty() and it's working - thanks.

Code:

if(!isset($isLoggedIn) || $isLoggedIn != TRUE)
     {
      redirect('login');
     }
