Hi everyone. My first post yey 😊

Getting to the point, I’ve been experimenting with CI, I’m really digging it.. since most sites use auth systems i checked some and here i am.

I have 2 questions:

1st. I understand that there is an “is_admin()” function and the “is_role” function, so we can limit access to a resource. Since this is based on CI Auth, is there anything like defining which directories are available for which role(s)?
Instead of having in each controller “is_role(array(“professor”, “assistent”)” just have “has_permission(segment)” for instance?

EDIT: Found the “backend/uri_permissions/” thingy :x lol

2nd. This is just a minor detail, but shouldn’t there exist a foreign_key restriction on table “users”? Regarding “role_id”? Its just for the sake of consistency..

Did i mentioned this is a great lib?

Right what I was looking for, thx!

CI is awesome!

Is there any way to obtain a user’s id without that user being logged in?

In the website I’m building the admin (me) creates the accounts for the users, email as username, random pass, email with activation code, generated pass etc.

This all works like a charm, but the problem is, i have a relation between my client’s table and dx_auth users table, so, when creating a user’s account i want to populate my table with the dx_auth user table user_id, but register only returns TRUE/FALSE.

I can make a quick query and find this out, since usernames are unique, but i was wondering if there were any method which does this, like a “get_user_id(username/address)”?

Another question, regarding uri_permissions.

Is there anyway to give permissions to a directory of controllers?

i have a folder called ‘client’, which has controller ‘A’ and ‘B’ (and will get further populated).
Giving permissions to ‘/client/’ does not work, since uri_permission is based on uri->rsegment and not uri->segment.
I don’t want to have to add each controller by hand ‘/A/’ ‘/B/’ specially because there are controllers with the same name but in different folders (which MUST have different access restrictions). Adding ‘/A/’ will cause for ‘client/A’ to be accessible as well as ‘admin/A’..

Is there any workaround?

Hi,

I have a problem with dx_auth library. When a user logs into the website and then closes the browser the user is shown as still logged in next time they browse to the site. Even though I specify that the remember me parameter of the login function is set to false.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Can i use DX Auth with Modular extension if so any example, i already tried my self its gives me the following error.

An Error Was Encountered

Unable to locate the file: .php in: views/

right now i calling register function here is my url

http://localhost/code/index.php/admin/auth/register

any solution.

Hi Guys,

Does anybody happen to know how was the documentation for DX Auth generated. It looks exactly the same as CodeIgniter’s. I hope there is a tool which can generate in a format like that.

Thanks

hi im trying to use the this library but facing this problem i tried to login its give me the following error

A Database Error Occurred

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE `ip_address` = '127.0.0.1'' at line 2

SELECT 1 WHERE `ip_address` = '127.0.0.1'

table name is missing in the query.

Please include user guide documentation in download.

Question how can I use the session information on my pages

eg

$_SESSION['emailadress']

I would Like to do the following

<?php if($_SESSION['logged_in'])
{
 echo "link";
}else{
 echo "non-member link";
}?>

You do have a is_logged_in() method..

You could use something like

<?php if($this->dx_auth->is_logged_in())
{
 echo "link";
}else{
 echo "non-member link";
}?>

if you MUST use $_SESSION may alter the “login” (and logout) method of dx_auth so when logging in it would register the session variable..

As for email (dx_auth email at least) i believe they have an entry on the session lib of CI itself..

$this->session->dx_auth_email;

Not sure about the real names of the methods/varaibles, I don’t have access to the lib right now, so i can’t be more specific.. hope it helps though

Fixed it

$autoload['libraries'] = array('DX_Auth','DX_Auth_Event');

Question is now , which was still not answered. “How do I pull information from my users table from the logged in user”.

anyone?

You should really check the documentation.

You have session info like

echo $this->session->userdata('DX_username');
echo $this->session->userdata('DX_role_name');

You can also use the model from dx_auth, which has methods such as “get_profile($user_id)”.
(and yes u have to load the models)

i have some simple checks to see if someone is logged in and provide a link to the Profile and Logout page. If they are not logged in, a Login and Register link is provided. And if i am logged in, an addition Admin link is provided.

If i log in and tick the check box to remember me, everything is fine if i close the browser and open it up in a short space of time. That is, it remembers i am logged in and the relevant links are displayed.

I am having an issue where if i close the browser and open it up after a long period of time ( such as the next day ) i am logged in but the ‘$this->session->userdata(‘user’) == ‘sam’) appears not to catch the fact i am logged in via a cookie session. I can verify that the Admin side of it is functional though.

Any fix for this?
