Hi, I have a problem, I cant seem to update the user’s password from within a form:

This is the code I’m using, it updates the other fields fine:

$id = $this->input->post('userId');

$data = array(
 'first_name' => $this->input->post('first_name'),
 'last_name' => $this->input->post('last_name'),
 'username' => $this->input->post('username'),
 'password' => $this->input->post('password'),
 'email' => $this->input->post('email')
);

$this->ion_auth->update($id, $data);

;

What am I doing wrong?

Miguel Suárez,

That should work fine, any errors?  if you do a var_dump($_POST); what do you get?

Mmmm sorry my bad, wrong variable name, using “userPass1” instead of “password”.

Funny how right after I post I find the solution.

Have to say, nice Auth system you have here, been using it for a day and its pretty complete!

Thanks for sharing

rip_pit,

Please send a pull request for any additional translations that are needed.  Thanks!

As you asked, i tried to submit the first part for untranslated strings i found but i’m not sure if i did it in the right way :

I already had a fork created : from this fork, i browsed the ion_auth files and edited the ones required.

Is that the right way ? is this helpfull to you ? Hope i’m wrong another time with using GHub haaha

Fork url: http://github.com/rotinpain/CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth/
Edited Files list
. auth controller: i replaced english only strings with reference to lang file
. language / english / ion_auth_lang.php : added the strings translations
. language / french / ion_auth_lang.php ! added the strings translations

Mr. Ben Edmunds,

God bless you for this library. It is just genius. I only would like to ask I saw a profile() function in the model somewhere in the past versions - do we still get something like that later? And I don’t get the documentation of the trigger_event(). Can anyone shed light on some of these undocumented features of this awesome library?

Weird, I cant get the current logged in user data:

if($this->ion_auth->logged_in())
{
 $data['user'] = $this->ion_auth->user()->row();    
 var_dump($data['user']);
}

Prints out:

array(0) { }

Any idea?

[EDIT]

Ok I fixed with this:

if($this->ion_auth->logged_in())
{
 $data['user'] = $this->ion_auth->user($this->session->userdata('user_id'))->row();    
 var_dump($data['user']);
}

Or change the line 1155 in the file ion_auth_model.php to:

//if no id was passed use the current users id
if($id == NULL)
 $id = $this->session->userdata('user_id');

Maybe just uncommenting the line will help, but Ive no idea what that line does.

[EDIT2]
OK, aparently just uncommenting that line works, why was it commented out?

Hey Miguel Suárez,

It’s not commented out in the latest code, maybe you have an older version?

I probably don’t have the latest version, but I downloaded it yesterday, maybe some one removed the comment some time after I downloaded It.

Hi, do I need to escape user inputted data when using the built in functions of ion auth? Like when creating a new user using ion_auth->register() ? or It is auto escaped by the ion auth functions? And one more thing, how can I create new user groups? Because the default is just admin and member, can I add new user groups like contributor and subscriber? If yes, how can I do that? Thanks again in advance 😊

Hi, I want to report something. I encountered a problem in displaying the change password success messages after forgot pasword. The flash_data is being cleared by the $this->ion_auth->logout() method.

Here is the code after successfuly changing password after forgot password:

if ($change)
     { //if the password was successfully changed
      $this->session->set_flashdata('message', $this->ion_auth->messages());
      
      $this->session->set_flashdata('try', 'password changed!');
      
      $this->session->set_userdata('some_name', 'some_value');
      
      
      $this->logout();
     }






function logout()
 {
  $this->data['title'] = "Logout";
  
  //log the user out
  $logout = $this->ion_auth->logout();

  //redirect them back to the page they came from
  redirect('login', 'refresh');
 }




Here is the problem in the logout() in Ion Auth

 /**
  * logout
  *
  * @return void
  * @author Mathew
  **/
 public function logout()
 { 
  //Recreate the session
  $this->session->sess_destroy();   // this is destroying all session data thats why the success message is being cleared. 
 
 }

I’ve got a problem adding users using the form found in ‘/auth/create_user.php’, when I try add a user, I get an error page with the following message:

Error Number:

Implicit conversion from data type varchar to varbinary is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.

INSERT INTO AESW_users (first_name, last_name, company, username, password, email, ip_address, created_on, last_login, active) VALUES (‘First’, ‘Last’, ‘Company’, ‘first last’, ‘91d926115b5d238dd12fd83e3cb7d8b7014e34ca’, ‘[email protected]’, ‘’, 1343032245, 1343032245, 1)

Filename: C:\EasyPHP\www\AESPortal_CI\system\database\DB_driver.php

Line Number: 330

Looking at the values in the query, it’s trying to write an empty string to the [ip_address] field.. I’m not too worried about logging IP addresses though, this will only be used on a company WAN.

I’m using EasyPHP 12 in my dev environment, with PHP 5.3.9 using a DB on SQL2005. The provided SQL scripts didn’t work for me, so I manually created the tables in Management Studio, as per the ‘ion_auth.mssql.sql’ file in the download, I setup [ip_address] with a data type of varbinary(16).

Any suggestions here?

i encounter a problem too with ion auth login ips on my local server but i can’t really remember how i solved it

What’s says your logs ? CI logs / php / apache / mysql logs ?

i remember of inet_pton function but i’m not sure it was directly related

What’s says your logs ? CI logs / php / apache / mysql logs ?

The CI forum won’t let me post the relative lines from my log (I get message about not being able to post certain content), so I dropped the lines in Pastebin for now.

There’s nothing in the Apache log (which makes sense, this looks like a PHP issue). I’m using MSSQL not MySQL, watching SQL Profiler while I try create a user, SQL itself doesn’t ever get to the point of trying to run any insert statement. I do see a line with a SELECT from the users table looking for entries with the same username as the user I’m trying to create, but other than that, I don’t see anything else helpful there.

I never used mssql you should submit an issue ticket on the github project page (https://github.com/benedmunds/CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth/issues) including the pastebin url but i’m not sure if it’s related to CI itself or to Ion_auth
Sorry i will be a little help for you problem :’(

Yeah whats the story with how Ion_Auth stores IP addresses? I was surprised that it seem to store them as raw number instead of a string that I can more easily search/deal with.

Also, does Ion_Auth generate the documentation at http://benedmunds.com/ion_auth/ with a tool or is it just typed out as a HTML document? I’d like to work on the documentation but I’m not sure if I should embed it in the code or edit the docs directly.
