Question

I am trying to put together an application using yii-user and yii-eauth extensions but I am coming up short. When I create a new webapp and install eauth I can get it to work fine so I know that I am not doing anything wrong on that end. I think the problem lies with my urls. This is a demo of what it is supposed to be like: http://nodge.ru/yii-eauth/demo/login. When someone clicks on say google it should bring you to the google sign in page but on my application I am getting a 404 error that states "The system is unable to find the requested action "login"." The url for this is user/user/login/service/google_oauth whereas the url should read user/login/service/google_oauth. Upon typing this into the browser manually I am redirected to the right page.

So I took a look into the EAuthWidget.php class to see if I could find out where it was getting that extra “user” from but I could not figure it out. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I have this in the user module which is in the /modules/user directory in my webapp. I also tried to use the URLManager to point to the right address but with no luck.

Does anyone have any similar experiences setting this up? Or any suggestions?

You just need to change the widget initialization code in your view(namely change the action property of the widget), somewhat like this:

<h2>Do you already have an account on one of these sites? Click the logo to log in with it here:</h2>
<?php 
  $this->widget('ext.eauth.EAuthWidget', array('action' => 'login'));
?>

Just to add, keep in mind that this action depends on which view you are including this widget, if the view is protected/views/site/login.php (which is yii’s default site login view) then action should be able to go to the yii-user module’s login action, so it’ll be : 'action'=>'/user/login' , however if you are including this widget in yii-user’s protected/modules/user/views/user/login.php then the action will be 'login' as already mentioned.
