I don’t know aguirre, how do you want to write your applications if you can’t debug such simple scripts. Install XDebug, switch logging in CI to level 4 and try to find a place with error… it’s very simple.

I know right?  The nerve of him coming to a support forum asking a question to try to get things working.  How dare he?

This is not support topic uptown, this is a topic where we discuss DX Auth. Latest DX Auth is working good for me with some tweaks 😊, so aguirre problems is not a DX Auth problems. 😛

the package was meant to be drop-in so i didn’t bother with debugging it to the core. I was just wondering if there was a mistake on my part or if DX Auth is know to have bugs like this. Your flaming is not neccessary but thanks anyways for the insightful replies…

If you don’t have in CI system/library a file named “Form_validation.php” your CI deploy has the problem.
Check that, I don’t know, maybe ......

EDIT: or try to change in the controller
$this->load->library(‘Form_validation’);
to
$this->load->library(‘form_validation’);

for whatever strange reason i had 1.6.3 deployed though i was absolutely sure i used the zip i downloaded today - disregard my message, updated to 1.7.0 - everything fine’s now ... so for that reason: it WAS my own stupidity 😉

@Paul, Form_Validation.php was introduced with CI 1.7

DX_Auth doesn’t work with previous versions.

Thanks BorisK,
I know that. But, sometimes, when I put with my FTP client the files under Linux some files where skipped. The client reported but I didn’t look at the errors. I’ve tried to help him with a bit of my previous experience. That’s all. He wrote that he put 1.7 and I trusted him. If you were faster you could help him better than me.
After you have all the info it’s easy to show that the others are misinformed.
So, let’s drop it.
Paul

@Paul, aguirre was typing his message at the same time I was doing mine. I was typing to let you know that he actually wasn’t using 1.7. Anyhow…

I just found a typo at DX_Auth.php, at line 1236.

function get_catpcha_image

should be

function get_captcha_image

Thanks BorisK, fixed it for next release.

Btw, FYI, Actually DX Auth works with any validation, even if you have your own validation library, because Auth.php is only example, DX_Auth didn’t have anything to do with validation library, instead it’s just only give function, to be used in your form validation callback function.

dexcell, I know what you mean. However, out of the box it just doesn’t work due to different naming of the libraries.

// CI 1.7
$this->load->library(‘form_validation’);
$this->form_validation->set_rules($rules);

vs.

// CI 1.6.3
$this->load->library(‘validation’);
$this->validation->set_rules($rules);

Anyhow, thanks for the great piece of code. Would’ve been perfect for me if it had granularity of KhACL or phpGACL.

Maybe you can add the ACL part in DX Auth event.

Small update to 1.0.3. See change log and upgrade in first page.

dexcell,

Thanks for this authentication library. I have got it working just fine, but have one problem.
When I register a user, I get a php warning:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

Filename: libraries/Email.php

Line Number: 1444

I’m using the latest version of CI and your code.
I set up an email.php config file for my app, and set the protocol to ‘mail’ but that didn’t help.
Any ideas why that’s happening?

Well, looks like you don’t have smtp server in your localhost machine.

Right. I want to use PHP’s standard mail() function, not smtp. It seems your code wants to send out by smtp. Do you know how I can change it?

Ryan Pharis, are you kidding??

Line from your error:

Filename: libraries/Email.php

Code from DX Auth library:

function _email($to, $from, $subject, $message)
    {
        $this->ci->load->library('email');
        $email = $this->ci->email;

        $email->from($from);
        $email->to($to);
        $email->subject($subject);
        $email->message($message);

        return $email->send();
    }

Can you see any SMTP things in DX Auth library? I can’t, really. Configure your server and codeigniter first, please.

If you are using PHP under Windows, mail() function will work over SMTP by default.

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

So think twice, post once, please.
