Authentification class wich loads internally the login controller
#1

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I wanted to create a hook to ensure the login/rights management part of the site, so i can call it before any page that needs it and display the login information without a redirect to keep the user on the same page.

1. I`m using CI since yesterday and i would like to know your opinion about it. I know i don`t have any guarantees about future-compatibility but for now it is self-contained and i can use it on any page without modifying the actual page, which is great.


* the part between /** test **/ and /** /test **/ is for testing the login with the addresses: site/welcome/index/login and site/welcome/index/logout
* i have done just the basic stuff as a proof-of-concept

2. If i want to create an object CurrentUser and access it globally, from whatever module/view it might need it, where should i put it? I am thinking about using a singleton, but if there is a simpler or cleaner way i would like to us it...


Thank you for your time...

Other than the wrong code being pasted into controllers/welcome.php thats pretty much how I handle things on non-FAL based projects.

Hooks are a good way to handle this as you can have as much permission checking and other junk in there as you like and dont have to worry about clogging up your main controllers.
