@c77m - The fix: https://bitbucket.org/ellislab/codeigniter/issue/252/undefined-method-error-produced-when-using

Hello. Congratullations for this great library.

I´m new in CI and I´m testing Ion Auth in a test application.

I´d like to set access based on groups.

1. I haven´t see that in the code. Is there any pre-made function or way to do it?

2. If there isn´t, please, check my code to know if I have done a good practice, or if there´s a better way to do it:

I have added a function to ion_auth_model.php to control if the user´s group is allowed to acces and optionally if the user have made a payment (in my application there are free and payments users)

ion_auth_model.php

public function access($allowed_group,$check_payment=false)
    {
        if($user=$this->ion_auth->get_user())
        {
            if($user->group_id>=$allowed_group)
            {
                if($check_payment)
                {
                    if($user->payment)
                    {
                        return true;
                    } else {
                       redirect('welcome');
                    }
                } else {
                    return true;
                }
            } else {
                redirect('welcome');
            }
        } else {
            redirect('auth','refresh');
        }
    }

When I want to set the access level to a controller I add:

$this->ion_auth->access(2,true);//Grant access to users from group 2 or higher who have paid

I´m new in CI and in MVC, is that a good practice? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks for your advice.

Glazz, thanks for the link.  I’m very much opposed to hacking the CI core to hide a library bug, but this link will hopefully help me track down the offending code in the library when I have a few more minutes.

fran-quero,

There is already a function, is_group(), that will check group membership for you.  (http://benedmunds.com/ion_auth/#is_group)

if($user=$this->ion_auth->get_user())

As written, this will always return true.  😉

Thanks! I should have read more :red:

No if the user is not logged in. I use it to check it. Now I will combine logged_in() + is_group().

Thanks again!

Thanks to harryxu we now have a fix for this without modifying the core: https://bitbucket.org/ellislab/codeigniter/issue/252/undefined-method-error-produced-when-using 

I just pushed this up to github, enjoy!

Hi guys,

I’m using ion auth in one of my projects and I have a doubt:

if a logged in user update his email address but he types a bad email, how can he reset a forgetten password ? Is there a method in ion auth to confirm an updated email ?

Cristian Gilè

Cristian,

No there’s not.  That’s a tough situation because usually if you are resetting your email it’s because you can’t access the old email (example = changing companies)...

Is it a planned feature ?

Cristian Gilè

Cristian,

No.  Feel free to code it up and send me a pull request though.

Hi everyone

I was playing around with the CI2, Modular Extensions and Ion Auth
This is what I did to get it working

1. Get tip_codeigniter.zip (CI2.0)
2. Extract, make sure it is running, set config.php
3. Get Modular Extension
  http://bitbucket.org/wiredesignz/codeigniter-modular-extensions-hmvc/wiki/Home
4. Install - Copy MY_Loader & MY_Router to core, MX to third party folder
  Do not copy MY_Controller - this is for Modular Separation and not Extensions
5. Get Ion_Auth
  http://github.com/benedmunds/CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth
6. Install the sql
7. Put ion_auth into a modules folder /application/modules/users
8. Add route
  $route[‘auth/(.*)’] = ‘users/auth/$1’; 
9. Autoload ion_auth
  $autoload[‘libraries’] = array(‘database’,‘session’,‘users/ion_auth’);
10. Edit paths
      $this->ci->load->config(‘users/ion_auth’, TRUE);
      $this->ci->load->library(‘email’);
      $this->ci->load->library(‘session’);
      $this->ci->lang->load(‘users/ion_auth’);
      $this->ci->load->model(‘users/ion_auth_model’);

Just in case anyone was trying… 😊

Hi and thanks for the instructions.

I’m trying to coerce Ion Auth into working with Modular Extensions on CodeIgniter 2 and I simply cannot get anything working.

#7 — do you mean, just place all of the files for Ion Auth in there “flat”, or in their respective folders (“config”, “controllers”, “models”, “libraries” et cetera)?

#10 — would that be anywhere there are similar references, or just one particular file?

Wayne,

In their respective folders.

All of loading file references should be in the library.

Hi Ben, and thanks for the reply!

I’m getting various errors, specifically:

The configuration file users/ion_auth.php does not exist.

Yet if I put the exact path in there: “users/config/...” I still get an error, which I suspect is as a result of the routing.

I get the same error for every line where I’ve added in “users” to the path name.

Wayne,

Post a screenshot of your file structure and pastie your library contructor.  Also, make sure you’re not autoloading anything but the library.

You can also check out PyroCMS if you want to see it in a working environment.

I’ve looked at three different applications using Modular Extensions and none of them are even remotely alike, and only one has a recognizable structure consistent with the installation instructions for Modular Extensions.

I’ve followed the previous instructions (the ones I quoted in my first post in this thread, to which you replied) to the letter, so that will save a screen shots and such.

What library constructor? Keep in mind that I’m trying to learn Modular Extensions, understand all of the changes in CodeIgniter 2 and make the whole thing work with Ion Auth.

For completeness, I’ve built up the screen shot you requested…
