[eluser]mistress_shiira[/eluser]
good day guys!im still new to CI and ive been trying to learn how to use a framework such as this.
im currently redoing an admin page that i have developed without using any framework before.i would like to redo it using CI.unfortunately, i have come across this problem.hope you can tell me how to go about with this.
actually i have this code:

function index(){
$this->load->library('validation','session');
$this->load->helper('form');
//set validation rules
$rules['username'] = "trim|required|callback_check_input";
$rules['password'] = "trim|required";
$this->validation->set_rules($rules);

//set validation fields
$fields['username'] = "username";
$fields['password'] = "password";
$this->validation->set_fields($fields);

if ($this->validation->run()) {
$query = $this->db->getwhere('users', array('username' => $this->input->post('username')));
$row = $query->row();
$this->load->view('cpats_main');

}
else{

$this->load->view('cpats_admin');
}
}

actually it already works,i can log in and proceed to the next page.the problem is that when i re enter the URL and hit enter,the page goes back to the admin page.how can i avoid it doing that?

Im guessing this is a login system, in that case what you want to do is in validation success use session and store something like logged_in=1

so you can do if($this->session->userdata('logged_in')) { //take them to a logged in page }

heres a pseudocode of what i did:
check if validation->run
set $this->session->set_userdata('logged_in',1);
and load $this->load->view('mainpage');
else
load $this->load->view('loginpage');

i get an error on $this->session->set_userdata though

if you can wait like another 2 weeks for me, I will release my user authentication system, that is very easy to use. It might save you some work.

[eluser]mistress_shiira[/eluser]
llbbl,uve been a great help! yeah,sure ill wait for that user auth system that ur currently doing.anyways,im not in a hurry.i am in the study mode stage as of now. im trying to redevelop the projects that i did before this time using a framework which is codeigniter.just keep me posted.

[eluser]schnoodles[/eluser]
HawHaw if you wait about 1-3 days ill prob release mine, although its just a bunch of methods so you do the form validation and everything yourself then you just do

$user->login($username,$password);

If you load the session library it should work.

I need to do a couple things, one of them being make some documentation. I want to add roles (admin,user,whatever) and the appropriate functions. To check for those roles. Right now it does.

- captcha based user registration
- activation w/ link sent to the email used to register with
- forgot password link sent to email, similar to activation, which allows them fill out a form
- login/out form + classes
- uses CI sessions

i have decided to do this application as an MVC.but theres something thats confusing me.hope you can give me ideas on how to proceed.

i have created a model,controller and a view for this particular exercise.
i want to load first a view file that contains the log in page so in my main controller i call it like this:

class main_control extends Controller{
function main_control(){
parent::Controller();
}
function index(){
$this->load->view('login_page');
}
}

now,im stuck.:d i dont know how to proceed.after i have load the view for the log in page.what i want to do is to verify the input of the user before they can log in.i dont know where to put that anymore.do i have to do another controller for that?pls help me..

read the user guide, Validation class.

Also the you need to know how to write your own library file and call functions in the library. You will call a function called register or whatever in your library if the form validates.
