There is an helper for this:

in your view (or in the controller assigning it to a variable) use the displayLoginForm() helper (it’s in application/helpers/freakauth_light_helper.php)

thx for the hint. but it passes only an array:

Hi guys,

I needed to fetch the user_name of another user than the one connected.
Found nothing simple in the model.

I did this trick in the helper, but I’m sure that there is a better way.

Ideas ?

Dan, what do you think about starting a new thread for the next release ?
This one is huge.
Forget my idea if you want to break the highest score.

@alexpetri
Cool…. we found another small thing to implement!

Try to change that helper function in application/helpers/freakauth_light_helper.php to:

Maybe you will need to duplicate the login form view in order to work properly for your needs.

[EDIT] this is a temporary solution(not sure it works): I’ll fix this in next release

function displayLoginForm()
{
    $obj =& get_instance();
    $obj->lang->load('freakauth');
    return $obj->load->view($obj->config->item('FAL_login_view'));
}

don’t we need the second parameter (true) here for $obj->load->view() ; ?

okay that works.
now its time to rewrite the whole auth controller to fit my purposes

If you use it directlly in the VIEW NO

if you use it in a controller and you pass it to the VIEW assigning it to a variable YES

@alex: if I am understanding correctly - you are over complicating it… All you need to do is build a login form (two input boxes, one text other psswrd, and a submit button) that submits to the auth.php script (you can put this login box in a fragment view that loads as your sidebar). In your auth.php script if you go down to the _login() function, and look for where the views and $data[‘page’] is being loaded and set, you can simply adjust them to redirect for your needs.

Hope that helps ya!

Good Day!

First of all FAL is really promising!

I’m currently developing on a localhost my box has no capability to send email for activation. so i used the add user function in the admin panel but it seems that it is not working?

I guess you are running PHP4. If Yesyou have 2 solutions to sort out your problem:

a) turn custom user_profile OFF in the application/config/freakauth_light.php

b) have a look to what the gang suggested in this forum @page 18

I hope this helps!

PS: to enable mailing in your localhost on Wondows open your php.ini file and find the below stuff and change it to suit your internet provider smtp config

How can I remember the password and login so the user can log on automatically?

there’s a thing about it that i don’t like ... don’t know if anyone else has complained yet and honestly i’m too lazy to read 20 pages

Part of the Documentation:
NB: just comma separated WITHOUT SPACES
RIGHT—> ‘user,admin’
WRONG—> ‘user, admin’

i haven’t looked at your code but i imagine you just explode it ... if so, just do something like

-> improved usability with just one line of code

cheers

Good suggestion Clemens!

Will be in next release!

Sometime, as you can understand, when I concentrate in new code additions, I’ll look in functionality and testing it, so I can miss some detail like in this case: this is the case in which your contributions, like Clemens one, come in great!

I am getting this error when I try to go to the forgotten password or register pages:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagettftext() in /mnt/w0703/d14/s24/b028dad5/www/smashedcampus.com/SmashedCI/system/libraries/Image_lib.php on line 1077

You need GD and FreeType installed in your PHP installation.
Are you sure they are ?
