Download

Download EasyAuth Here EasyAuth.zip

Install

Download the zip file above, and unzip the file. Next copy Easyauth.php to your application's libraries folder. Besure to configure your autoloader (/system/application/config/autoload.php) to include 'easyauth'. It will look something like this.

$autoload['libraries'] = array('easyauth','someotherlib');

Configure

You can use the supplied users.sql file to create a very simple users table in MySQL. EasyAuth library is configured to use the users table. If you are adapting this library to a different table, then you can configure to the query to authenticate accordingly.

Implement

A simple implementation would be to check for the connected variable stored in the class. Connected ($connected) should either be true or false. If the user has a valid login then we should expect the $connected variable to be true.

<?php

class Blog extends Controller {

	function index(){

		if($this->easyauth->connected == true):

			$this->load->view('dashboard');

		else:

			$this->load->view('login');

		endif;

	}

}

?>
