I’ve been creating a simple login/register page. The register page does pass information into the database, but when I try to login in with that information the page keeps coming up invalid password/username. I’ve been following an Andrew Perkins tutorial (cakephp 2.0 auth) and my code is identical to his.
–my database users is where all my data is stored
-Users Controller
<?php
class UsersController extends AppController{
function index(){
$this->User->recursive = 0;
$this->set('users', $this->User->find('all'));
}
public function beforeFilter(){
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->allow('add');
}
public function isAuthorize($user){
if(in_array($this->action, array('edit',delete))){
if($user['id'] !=$this->request->params['pass'][0]){
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
public function login(){
if($this->request->is('post')){
if($this->Auth->login()){
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}else{
$this->Session->setFlash('Your username/password was incorrect');
}
}
}
public function logout(){
$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
function add(){
$this->set('title_for_layout', 'Individual Registration');
$this->set('stylesheet_used', 'style');
$this->set('image_used', 'eBOXLogo.jpg');
if($this->request->is('post')){
{ $this->User->create();
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data))
{
$this->Session->setFlash('The user has been saved');
}
else { $this->Session->setFlash('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.'); }
}
}
}
}
-App controller
<?php
App::uses('Controller', 'Controller');
class AppController extends Controller {
public $components = array(
'Session',
'Auth'=>array(
'longinRedirect'=>array('controller'=>'users', 'action'=>'index'),
'longoutRedirect'=>array('controller'=>'users', 'action'=>'index'),
'authError'=>"You can't access this page",
'authorize'=>array('Controller')
)
);
public function isAuthorized($user){
return true;
}
public function beforeFilter(){
$this->Auth->allow('index','view');
$this->set('logged_in', $this->Auth->loggedIn());
$this->set('current_user',$this->Auth->user());
}
}
-User module
<?php
class User extends AppModel {
public $name = 'User';
public $displayField = 'name';
public $validate = array(
'name'=>array(
'Please enter your name.'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Please enter your name.'
)
),
'username'=>array(
'The username must be between 5 and 15 characters.'=>array(
'rule'=>array('between', 5, 15),
'message'=>'The username must be between 5 and 15 characters.'
),
'That username has already been taken'=>array(
'rule'=>'isUnique',
'message'=>'That username has already been taken.'
)
),
'email'=>array(
'Valid email'=>array(
'rule'=>array('email'),
'message'=>'Please enter a valid email address'
)
),
'password'=>array(
'Not empty'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Please enter your password'
),
'Match passwords'=>array(
'rule'=>'matchPasswords',
'message'=>'Your passwords do not match'
)
),
'password_confirmation'=>array(
'Not empty'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Please confirm your password'
)
)
);
public function matchPasswords($data) {
if ($data['password'] == $this->data['User']['password_confirmation']) {
return true;
}
$this->invalidate('password_confirmation', 'Your passwords do not match');
return false;
}
public function beforeSave() {
if (isset($this->data['User']['password'])) {
$this->data['User']['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data['User']['password']);
}
return true;
}
}
?>
-login view
<h2>Login</h2>
<?php
echo $this->Form->create();
echo $this->Form->input('username');
echo $this->Form->input('password');
echo $this->Form->end('Login');
?>
the database was storing it as a 20 char long string, the website was sending a 40 char long string, it wouldnt save in the database correctly.
used debugkit plugin and it worked
