Ion Auth - Lightweight Auth System based on Redux Auth 2

Hi Ben,

Your auth seems promising, are you able to keep it up to date for the next couple of years?

Thanks a lot for your time mate.

@atno,
It would be great if Ben could predict those next couple years - not just for himself but can you imagine what that would do for Codeigniter itself? ;-)

@Markko,
Check out his controllers in the download sample and the library code itself. Documentation would be great but the code really is extremely well written with comments.

Markko,

I'm really bad about documentation so I tried to make the code easy to understand and build a comprehensive demo.


If you have questions or need additional support feel free to email me.


atno,

I definitely plan to continue supporting it. If something ever comes up where I can't I'll pass it off to someone else so don't worry about losing support.

Ben,

Great library/solution. After updating to your most recent code on Github (commit_id: 18e39bd1), I noticed after login that I was redirected to http://my.domain.com// (<---notice the extra slash).

The base_url in my config is a sub-domain, don't know if that mattered any but doubt it.

Anyway, I switched my code in the app/controllers/auth.php to the following:

...controllers/auth.php

Code:

//log the user in
    function login()
    {
        $this->data['title'] = "Login";
        $redirect_uri_successful_login = $this->config->item('base_url',TRUE);

        //validate form input
        $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email Address', 'required|valid_email');
        $this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required');

        if ($this->form_validation->run() == true) { //check to see if the user is logging in
            if ($this->ion_auth->login($this->input->post('email'), $this->input->post('password'))) { //if the login is successful
                //redirect them back to the home page
                $this->session->set_flashdata('message', "Logged In Successfully");
                redirect($redirect_uri_successful_login, 'refresh');

...

I'm thinking you could set this in your ion_auth.php in the config folder?

Thanks for pointing that out 2think.

The controller is just example code so feel free to modify it as much as needed. I went ahead and pushed a change to use base_url instead of '/' in the home page redirects.


Thanks!

Hi,
I have user redux_auth with extensive customisation that I did myself. Particularly:
1) Added the ability to login with email OR username
2) Introduced error messages, such as "Incorrect username/password"

Will this library support the above mentioned features?

[eluser]Ben Edmunds[/eluser]
samota:

Currently Ion Auth supports your #1 but not #2.

Adding multi-lingual error messages is on the to-do list though.

Hey Ben,

Got the 411 on Ion Auth from Phil. Are you guys planning to incorporate "Remember Me" functionality into Ion Auth?

+1 for that.

I will be trying this out. Thanks for this

Devon/NateL:

I've had one other person request this and I was waiting to see if there were many requests for this feature.


I'll add it to the to-do list.


Thanks!
