Warning - the following code is not compatible with CodeIgniter version 1.5.3 and above - it needs updating
See: Simple Authorization Library Discussion
See also: Simple Authorization Library Thread
Suppose you have such subpage: http://www.example.com/user/messages and you want this subpage to be accessible only to authorized users. Additionally, you want the unauthorized users to be redirected to some login page if they are not logged in, and you want to store the authorized user name in a cookie, so that you can display it on all the subpages of your website depending on whether the user is logged in or not.
Then you can use Authorization lib as follows:
- specify new authorization area in the authorization.php config file
- load the library in the methods which you want to be accessible only to authorized users: $this->load->library('authorization', 'client_area') note the second argument - it is the name of the area that you specified in the config file.
Now you can:
- login the user to the specified area: $this->authorization->login(342, true) first argument - user ID, second - 'Remember Me'
- check anytime if the user is logged in using $this->authorization->is_logged_in()
- perform authorization for a specific subpage: $this->authorization->authorize() if the user is not logged in, he will be redirected to the login page specified in the config file
- save some user's data to the authorization cookies like this: $this->authorization->set_userdata_item('first_name, 'Bart')
- retrieve user's data from authorization cookies like this: $this->authorization->get_userdata_item('first_name')
