gscharlemann,

No problem.

Thanks,

Hi,

I’ve installed Ion Auth prety much “as-is” as a simple authentication layer for a web app I’m prototyping. I’ve noticed that there doesn’t appear to be any verification of duplicate email addresses being provided in the registration process - or have I missed something? If I attempt to register a new user with an existing email address, I would expect to be notified - but I get redirected to the same login page after user creation as a successful registration, and I have to check the database to see that the new registration was not inserted - no feedback is given to the user.

Or is there? Not sure if I’ve broken something along the way, but I can’t see any indication that the duplicate email registration attempt has failed (it doesn’t overwrite the existing record, just doesn’t get inserted). I couldn’t find the code preventing the insert from happening - the field is not a primary key in the DB.

cheers

Ben

goldpelican,

The controller code is just a basic example.  The library won’t allow you to have duplicate identities but the best way to check and notify the user of this is with form_validation callbacks.

Below are the two callbacks I usually use:

/**
     * Username check
     *
     * @return bool
     * @author Ben Edmunds
     **/
    public function username_check($username)
    {
        if ($this->ion_auth->username_check($username))
        {
            $this->form_validation->set_message('username_check', 'The username "'.$username.'" already exists.');
            return FALSE;
        }
        else
        {
            return TRUE;
        }
    }
    
    /**
     * Email check
     *
     * @return bool
     * @author Ben Edmunds
     **/
    public function email_check($email)
    {
        if ($this->ion_auth->email_check($email))
        {
            $this->form_validation->set_message('email_check', 'The email "'.$email.'" already exists.');
            return FALSE;
        }
        else
        {
            return TRUE;
        }
    }

Hello,

On the registration page, I need to capture Phone Number, Address.

Thanks

Frank

Frank,

Just add it to the meta table and the ion_auth config file and then pass it in with additional data when you register the user.

Thanks Ben,

How do I pull the meta data in code?

[code}
$user = $this->ion_auth->get_user();
$user->??
</code></pre>

Frank,

For example, if you add address to the ion auth config file and the meta table you can do:

$user = $this->ion_auth->get_user();
echo $user->address;

Thanks Ben….

So Easy….

Regards,

Frank

No problem Frank, glad to help 😉

Ben,

Any thing I have to do to host this on Godaddy?
I am getting an email error when trying to use the forgot_password.

Thanks

Frank

farocco,

The last two errors are because you’re sending information in your controller. If you post that code, I’m sure someone can help you. I’m thinking (and this could be quite inaccurate since I can’t see your controller code) that you have a redirect first or early in your controller?

I don’t know if Ben has changed anything in his mail sending functions because it doesn’t seem like there’s a problem, at least from the code I’ve been using. Have you checked to make sure that GoDaddy has a mail server for you to use? I’m sure they do but as I said, with the mail sending functions not giving me a problem, just wondering what it could be on your end.

I changed the auth.php forgot_password to use templates.
  $this->data[‘title’] = ‘Forgot Password’;
        $this->data[‘content’] = ‘auth/forgot_password’; 
        $this->load->view(‘includes/template’, $this->data); 

The code below was the orginal.
        //$this->load->view(‘auth/forgot_password’, $this->data);

I just tried removing the template from auth.php, but still get the error.

Hello,

Firstly. Thank-you Ben for taking up the challenge to make a clean, fast and stable authentication library.

I am currently at the pointy end of releasing v1.0 of a project that uses redux auth 2 Beta. I have thrashed through some issues but have now realised I need to move to Ion Auth.

Does anyone have any tips on moving from Redux Auth 2 to Ion Auth.

I am excited to move to a better authentication library but am daunted by the amount of code I am going to have to change.

Thanks

Tim

I just changed the ion_auth library email mailtype to $config[‘mailtype’] = “text”;
And it works. So it is failing on the html setting.

Any ideas?
