As far as Im aware it does a duplicate check on the username on registration… not sure if it checks for email already in the database

Dan… when not logged in and trying to access a section that I have protected I get this:

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined variable: check

Filename: libraries/Freakauth_light.php

Line Number: 140

Is there anything in the library to prevent duplicate user registrations based on either username or email?  I am looking through the code, but don’t see anything to prevent this yet.

Both get checked when a news user registers, ot when you add a new user from the admin panel. What has not been implemented is that an user can take an admin username. It will be sorted in relaase 1.0.3-alpha.

seems, that my admin account cant login to the system, as administrative pages (adm) are totally seperated from the user system… which is different from the regular approach of showing a special menu to admin and a normal one to the user. is there a way to let admins also login trough the users login box? that is why i had trouble of the usage of FreakAuth… still, insisting on this, to patch it into my needs.

Hi Dan,

  I testing your system, but I’m getting a lot of trouble trying to make my own login page…  Can you please give us some documentation about how to do this??

Thanks

To show a custom menu ONLY to admins you should write something like this in your controller:

Sure, but you should hack the login method of the auth controller + hack the validation callback functions in auth controller.

The documentation is here

For configuring the system have a look at the file system/application/config/freakauth_light.php (is pretty commented)

For understanding how to customise your views, open the files in system/application/views/FreakAuth_light/template look at their content and try to understand it.

What is the purpose of the simplepie helper?  I see it fetches feeds, but how is this relevant to the auth application?

It’s absolutely unrelevant, and you can delete it along with the simplepie plugin.

I’ll take it out in next release.

First, thank you Danfreak for this cool app !
It is really easy to install !

As i’m quite new to CI and PHP, i’d like to know the best way to see wether a user is logged or not…

is it acceptable to do like this in a template view :

If not… what should i do to display some information when a user is logged or not in a single template view ?

Thanks for your help

Yes, you should exactly do like this!

to display the something like: [ welcome USERNAME / logout ] or [welcome GUEST - login]

simply put this in your view:

I’m actually working on next release that will fix the bugs found so far, merge admin and user table, be independent from mod_rewrite + some other stuff.

Dan… stroll over to http://www.sqlrecipes.com/article_4.html. It’s an attempt to achieve fine-grained RBAC based on the specs. Read through the comments, a download url is provided by the author. It might give you some ideas.

Hey guys, dunno if this has been brought up and fixed already - but I thought I would post my own…

I get an SQL query error when I log in as an Admin and try to access the ‘Manage Admin’ panel.

The error was here on line 55 of admins.php (assuming no additions have been made, it is in the admin function:

The patched fix for me was very simple:

Hope that helps anyone.

Hey danfreak,

I absolutely love your Auth system! I have been wanting to implement a redirect and flash message for users (whom are already logged in) that attempt to re-visit the Login page.

I used your other flash messages as examples to construct mine, but it just doesn’t seem to work. I was hoping a fresh pair of the designer’s eyes would direct me towards getting it to work.

(All other flash messages work, for example the ones in the Admin panel, displaying login success and no access permissions…).

What it does, exactly, is perform a isValidUser() and if the viewing user is logged in (not guest) is set the flash message and redirect to the home page (where the
$this->db_session->flashdata(‘flashMessage’) displays the set flash based on its key, which I made sure was ‘flashMessage’) ELSE it displays the normal login form to the ‘guest’ user.

Here is the code I altered to try and implement this functionality… This is excerpted from auth.php beginning on line: 65.
 

I know, in essence - it doesn’t really matter if the user keeps re-logging themselves in, and I have no idea if there could be any exploits with it, but for the ‘slick-ness’ factor I have been wanting it

Regards,

Iksander

        $this->db_session->set_flashdata('flashMessage', $msg, 1);

            
        redirect ('login', 'location');      // <--- error this page does not exists it should be redirect ('auth/login', 'location');

        }
        else

It should work!

just change it to

I should include this in next release!
