Quick User Management

[eluser]KennyBrijs[/eluser]
Hi all

I'm a junior developer and new to codeigniter, but I'd like to make a little web-app.

Of course I'll need user management, and good practice is not to reinvent the wheel. I already found a 70-minutes tutorial and 2 libraries, but I was wondering if you guys could help me out what to pick or do.

I need basic user management (people enter username, email, password and confirm via email) and if they want to they can also fill out additional info for their profile.

Is there a package that you can recommend which is easy to use and to extend/modify?

Thanks in advance.
Greetings, Kenny.

Stating the obvious, but you may want to make sure the license allows you to integrate the code into your system.

User management can get a little tricky, so using what someone has used is beneficial. With that, have you tried BackEndPro - http://www.kaydoo.co.uk/projects/backendpro

You can also see a great resource of programs at

++ I really like what Phil does with his User management in PyroCMS. And it's prepared for CI 2.0

Hey Phil - can we strip out your code for user management if we give you the credit

Looking forward to others have to say on the topic.

Well, I wasn't planning on using code illegally , but it's a good reminder. The packages I found were published on websites by their authors, so I guess they wouldn't do that if they didn't want us to use it , but it's a good reminder to always explicitly check the licence.

I haven't tried the ones you posted, but I'll check them out one of these days (haven't got no time today... sorry)

Thanks

The code in PyroCMS is ION Auth!

InsiteFX

Ion Auth is a good choice. It has good features but is still lean and actively developed.

+1 for Ion Auth it is awesome. The syntax is really easy to work with. Super easy to drop into any project with little effort, and only contains a few files (config, library, model, some langs). You don't even use the model, as the library uses _call() to look in model for calls not found in library. It will make sense if you check out the docs.

[eluser]KennyBrijs[/eluser]
Ok, then I will check Ion Auth.

Talking about PyroCMS, I have created a couple of sites with MODx (modxcms.com). Of course, when you are used to a system, you'd rather stick to it , but I switched to CI (I know CI is not a CMS) because I thought that developing a web-app would be quicker with CI, and it would make me produce cleaner code through MVC.

Since there will be much more App-developing than Content Management to this project, I didn't really mind missing a CMS.

But am I getting things right when I say that PyroCMS allows you to develop an app and easily integrate it in the CMS?

I thought about using CI in MODx too, but when I googled on it, reactions seemed like that was not so easy.

[eluser]pickupman[/eluser]
PyroCMS is just a CI app. Phil uses his own Modular Separation library to put code into modules. So you essential could easily add on to it.

Oh, IC
thx for clearing that up
