Ion_Auth

[eluser]davehedgehog[/eluser]
Hey wonder if any of you guys could help me out?

So Ive installed CI and written a blog and then intalled Ion_Auth, from here Ive been following a few tutorials to set up the login system etc.

first up I followed this

http://jondavidjohn.com/blog/2011/01/sca...r-ion_auth

I set the autoload libraries and the prefix MY_Controller.php

then created the MY_Controller.php in the core folder with the code as follows~

Code:

class Admin_Controller extends MY_Controller {

//create a class wide var to store object
protected $the_user;

public function __construct(){

  parent::__construct();

  //check if admin group
  if ( $this->ion_auth->is_admin()){
  
   //store the user as class wide var
   $this->the_user = $this->ion_auth->user()->row();

   //also store as var
   $data->the_user = $this->the_user;

   //load in views
   $this->load->vars($data);
  }
  else{
   redirect('/');
  }
}
}

class User_Controller extends MY_Controller {

//create a class wide var to store object
protected $the_user;

public function __construct(){

  parent::__construct();

  //check if admin group
  if ( $this->ion_auth->in_group('user')){
  
   //store the user as class wide var
   $this->the_user = $this->ion_auth->user()->row();

   //also store as var
   $data->the_user = $this->the_user;

   //load in views
   $this->load->vars($data);
  }
  else{
   redirect('/');
  }
}
}

class Common_Auth_Controller extends MY_Controller {

//create a class wide var to store object
protected $the_user;

public function __construct(){

  parent::__construct();

  //check if admin group
  if ( $this->ion_auth->logged_in()){
  
   //store the user as class wide var
   $this->the_user = $this->ion_auth->user()->row();

   //also store as var
   $data->the_user = $this->the_user;

   //load in views
   $this->load->vars($data);
  }
  else{
   redirect('/');
  }
}
}

Next I set up the controller folder structure with public, common_auth, user and admin. Then I added the controllers for anyone to view in public and others such as to create blog item in admin. The admin/blog.php being class Blog extends MY_Controller or even Admin_controller, both dont work and give me and error for either.

so my guess is Im still not calling the MY_Controller, so I followed this tutorial~

http://www.kylenoland.com/a-comprehensiv...-ion-auth/

to include the MY_Controller and still errors :/

can anyone point out what im missing?

It would be helpful if you told us what the errors were

First of all, you should only ever define one class per file.

As for my controller, it should look something like this:

./application/core/MY_Controller.php

Code:

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
    
    /* Your methods here */
}

Then CodeIgniter will automatically load it so you can extend it.

Does this help at all?

[eluser]davehedgehog[/eluser]
Right, uh kind of :/ um whats confusing me is do I then create Admin_Controller.php...etc. and store them in the app/core/ or app/controllers/ ?
