Question

I am a frequent user of Codeigniter and it has come to the point where i’ve had to start looking at a library for login/forgot password so i decided to use Ion Auth.

I set this up – works fine, tried the admin account that is already set up with it and it’s fine.

Now when i login as the admin and then create a new user, the data is added to the database and the page redirects from “create-user” to the welcome page. But if i logout and login with these new details, the page goes blank and the reload bar goes crazy! The url bar looks like it goes to the welcome page if that makes sense but nothing loads.

I’ve also checked my console on firebug and the php log error and nothing at all.

I’ve checked my database and when the user has been added, the password has been hashed but in the salt column it is classed as NULL whereas the default account already set up has a hash code? – could this be something to do with it?

EDIT: I’ve now altered the code but this still didn’t worked when it wasn’t touched so only edits in code are removal of tables and in the auth controller the functions are login, create_user and logout.

And when the [e-mail] user logs in it loads the page fine just other”new” accounts..

Thanks!

RESOLVED: This was a bug with Google Chrome which i’ve had to update the system and the brwser. Also for storing the SALT i changed some settings in my ion_auth config file
