Post by: Savera on September 11, 2012, 12:27:22 PM

I am learning YII , they already given us demo webapp . How do I create my own user and then use those values to login to admin panel provided by Yii in their demo  or webapp default setup ?

I am trying to read their documentation but it is not clear, I am looking for something which is easy , straightforward and explained with clarity and keeping in mind that even newbie can understand those documentation.

For login With database user and password you have to change useridentity.php authenticate mehtod and configure  your Main.php also .

For login With database have to change useridentity.php  authenticate mehtod and .

change authenticate mehtod  like this.........


public function authenticate() {
        $user = User::model()->findByAttributes(array('username' => $this->username));
        if ($user === null) {
            $this->errorCode = self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;
        } else {
            if ($user->password !== $this->password) {
                $this->errorCode = self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;
            } else {
                $this->_id = $user->id;
                         
                $this->errorCode = self::ERROR_NONE;
            }
        }
        return !$this->errorCode;
    }

    public function getId() {
        return $this->_id;
    }



and change your main.php in config like this.........


// application components
   'components'=>array(
      'user'=>array(
         // enable cookie-based authentication
         'allowAutoLogin'=>true,
      ),

Hey if you want to login with email you can simply channge
$user = User::model()->findByAttributes(array('username' => $this->username)); to
$user = User::model()->findByAttributes(array('email' => $this->username)); or whatever column name you have in you database .
