I’ve created a new authentication system called Community Auth. I know there are a lot of choices in the wiki; maybe somebody will find it useful. Check it out and give me some feedback!

Community Auth

I also created a support thread:

http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/127094/

I would like to update everyone, letting you all know that a lot of work has recently been done with Community Auth. It’s still available on Bitbucket, and it is installed at community-auth.com, so you can check it out. It comes pre-installed in CodeIgniter 2.1.0.

I’ve changed where my comauth directory is, in the config to
$config[‘base_url’] = ‘http://localhost/comauth/
Everytime i want to register / login, gives me back to http://localhost/
Is there something im missing?

You will probably have to remove or adjust the rewrite settings in /.htaccess.

I would try to change line 2 to:

RewriteBase /comauth/

You could remove the /.htaccess altogether, but then ‘index_page’ in config/config will need to be set to ‘index.php’.

Did the RewriteBase /comauth/
Run localhost/comauth/init get a 404 error
  define(‘REDIRECT_TO_HTTPS’, 0);
Registration says: Registrations are not allowed at this time. (probably haven’t done the init thing).
The home page shows, but no logo image.

Sorry, the init was working after i disable it.
But the logo and css are still not showing.

I changed the way that CSS and images are called. If you download the tip at the repository, you should be good.

In the process of trying your app…

...have removed leading slash on /css and /img logo. Same applies to all the /js script files.

Repo tip actually uses the html helper to load everything. Just did that commit this evening. Let me know what you think.

Still in the process of trying your app:

I have downloaded, configured and installed the latest version:

  remove preceding slash from href=”/documentation/configuration/...
 
// think it is best to set default to 0
3. file: ‘./application/config/constants.php’   
  line: 21
  add:
      define(‘USE_SSL’, isset($_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]) && $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]); // original default: 1
     

// easier to set profiler      
4.a file: ‘./application/config/constants.php’   
  line: 23
  add:
      define(‘ENABLE_PROFILER’, 1); // requires following step

// part of above step
4.b file: ‘./application/core/MY_Controller.php’   
  line: 28
  edit:
      $this->output->enable_profiler( defined(‘ENABLE_PROFILER’) && ENABLE_PROFILER);
     
 
 
     
My next big question is, is it possible to run SSL using a XAMPP localhost?

If possible then can you point me in the right direction as where to start searching or modify your introduction documentation to say that SSL is absolutely essential.

 
 
     
     
edit: corrected path for My_Controller.php and constants.php

@ John - Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into these things later today.

About SSL on XAMPP, yes, I do this all the time.

I set up my domains via /xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Inside that, I have something like this:

It has been a long time since I set this up, so I don’t remember if anything else needed to be done.
