Hi Ben. I used your library in one of our web application. We are currently using one proxy when accessing websites. We are having problems on getting the current user logged in. Sometimes I get the wrong username when both of us access the same page. $user = I used
$this->ion_auth->get_user();
echo substr($user->email,0,strpos($user->email,’@’,1));

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Civic,

get_user without any parameters retrieves the ID from the session.  You could also pass the id like ion_auth->get_user($user_id).

I’m not sure why you included that substr?

Wow! that was a fast reply. How do I get the currently logged in userid? The substr was to get the username from email. I used the default setup. when you login I use the email address.
Here is what I could try.

$userid = $this->session->userdata(‘email’);
$user = $this->ion_auth->get_user($userid);

I will update you the results

Thanks,

Civic,

If you having issues with getting the correct currently logged in user using $this->ion_auth->get_user() then something is up with the session.  Read up on the CI Session library and see what you can troubleshoot. 

BTW, user->id and user->email and not the same.  Also, you can get the user’s username with $user->username.

Hi Ben,

We were able to fix the problem. This is the case of 1 proxy server many users 1 session.
We just put in line 102 in ion_auth.php library.

# Handle proxy common session 2011-03-18
session_start();

Thank you so much.
Hope this helps.

Hi Ben! Thanks for the fast reply!

In my application controller: load ion_auth and call $this->ion_auth->get_userdata(); php gives me the following error…

this was a typo… I actually call $this->ion_auth->get_user() and the error is thrown.

Hey Ben!

I’ve started a vanilla installation of ci 2.0.1 with the latest modular extension running properly. I’m able to load modules. I dont use any extended controllers. just the plain welcome_controller.php.

ion_auth is now installed as a simple library, not as a module which somehow was a compromise, because i thought this would help in my case. in fact i prefer the library method.

session and database are autoloaded. ion_auth is loadad and invoked in the welcome controller. same problem here.

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {

    
    public function index()
    {
        $this->load->library('ion_auth');
                #var_dump($this->ion_auth->get_user()); // Cool! Userdata returned
        $this->load->module('navigation'); // load my module as needed
        $navigation = $this->navigation->get_navigation(); // get my navigation
        #var_dump($this->ion_auth->get_user()); // Bad! 

        $this->load->view('welcome_message');
    }
}

I’ve attached a screenshot of the error message. There seems to ba a problem with the magic __get function in core/Model.php, too.

Thanks for your help!

jk215,

Are you still having this issue?

Yes. Basically the only steps Ive taken were to change the CONFIG option to ‘username’ and attempt to login using the default /auth/login.

Oliver,

Are you loading Ion Auth in the parent class?  For example, if you are extending a bunch of classes but your most parent class in MY_Controller, load Ion Auth there.

Oliver,

Also make sure you’re using the newest Ion Auth from github.

great library 😊

I downloaded your Ion Auth package for Code Igniter the other day and I didn’t see a controller listed to handle “edit_user.php”. Do you have that code?...or am I missing something to see that view? Please get back to me when you can. Thanks!

Hi Ben!

Everything works fine now!! It seems really important to use the “MY_Controller” in combination with modular extensions, if you want to use the this->load->module() or module::run method to access modules on runtime. (As the Manual says 😉... My fault!)

If you access your modules by uri like a “normal” controller, ion_auth works without any problems.

So in my case:

Load ion_auth inside the My_Controller and extend EVERY Controller from this one… Or just autoload it! Bingo!

Thanks for your help! Your library rocks!

Oliver

Glad to help Oliver.

Metlhead723,

I just emailed you back (assuming it was you).  There isn’t a ready made example for that, the code there is just to be used as an example so you can make your own.
