After installing ion auth, I get a CI error saying I must set an encryption key to use the session class. When I set the key, however, I get a php 500 error on each page load. What could be the cause of this?

I think it could be related to your hosting and not to CI or ion auth.

How should I have my codeigniter/database configured from a fresh install?

see configuration @ http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/database/index.html

I am returning a list of users with the following:

then using a foreach loop in the view to echo out the fields for each user.

But I would like to check if each individual user is currently logged in or not and there does not seem to be a simple built in way of doing this with Ion auth.

I am using database sessions and I know its probably just a matter of querying the ci sessions table but Im not sure. Has anybody done this already? or is there some simple modifications I can make to ion auth that would make this easy?

I’ve been using Ion_Auth on my website and it’s working beautifully so far, I’m just a little lost as to how the email activation works.  I found in the documentation a way to enable email activation as something necessary to register, but I couldn’t find anything on how it’s implemented.  Does anyone have any experience with how Ion_Auth’s email avtivation works?

at registration IA creates a uniqid for the user/email,
ID is stored in DB, and then an activation link containing the ID is sent by email

The activation link will execute verification process, the ID in the activation url must matches the one in DB.
If match then user/email will be verified and allowed.

is that what you asked for ?

Thanks for this great tool. Is there any guide how to connect this with FB login? I want to give users option to choose regular registration or registration with their FB account

@Kamahi,

Check out the social branch here:

Feel free to hit up mamprogr with questions.

I got this weird problem with ion_auth. When a user register on my website, he retrieves a mail with a link to activate the account. When you click on the link, the account succeffuly activates, though you get the error message that it wasn’t able to activate it. Is this some kind of bugg?

@Aline are you using the latest code from Github?

@Aline are you using the latest code from Github?

Yeah, i think so.

Is there anyway that i can check what version i have?

@Aline if you’re using the spark then it’s in the details.  If not then no not really. 

I’ve never seen that happen before so you might have to debug it in the controller at least to see what’s going on.  Sorry!

Sorry, my english/knowledge isn’t the best. Can you describbe what you mean by “using the spark”?

Thanks for replying

Spark = either using getsparks.org or by pulling from the spark branch on github.

Oh, alright.
Well, i think i got ion_auth files from here (http://jondavidjohn.com/blog/2011/01/scalable-login-system-for-codeigniter-ion_auth)
Where is says “Download Here”. Now idea if it’s the newest version.

Now, if i have an older version, do i have to download the newest version from github and configure everything again? Or is it a smarter way, where i can like “upgrade” current code?

Ah yea thats the old v1 code.  The new code can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/benedmunds/CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth/zipball/2

You’ll have to setup up from scratch, sorry!
