I'm trying to get a simple login form to work using CakePHP 2.0... just Auth, no ACLs for now.
I'm able to see the form and enter the email and password as they are in the database, but I just get returned to the form and the flash error message is displayed. Here is my code:
AppController:
class AppController extends Controller
{
function beforeFilter()
{
$this->Auth->userModel = 'Users';
$this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password'); //have to put both, even if we're just changing one
$this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' => 'hotels', 'action' => 'dashboard');
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');
}
}
login.ctp:
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('User', array('action' => 'login'));
echo $this->Form->input('email');
echo $this->Form->input('password');
echo $this->Form->end('Login');
?>
UsersController:
class UsersController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Users';
var $helpers = array('Html','Form');
var $components = array('Auth','Session');
function beforeFilter()
{
$this->Auth->allow("logout");
parent::beforeFilter();
}
function index() { } //Redirects to login()
function login()
{
if ($this->Auth->login())
{
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else
{
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid username or password, try again'));
}
}
function logout()
{
$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
}
?>
I appreciate any help with this. Thanks!
