TUTORIAL

NEW: Upgraded to support Kohana 3.1.x! Thank you gartz for this! If you need KO 3.0.x support, use the Feb 27th version.

Most recent, detailed tutorial - note, documentation still needs an update:

Earlier writing about Kohana auth:

SUPPORTED PROVIDERS

  • Regular Kohana user account registration
  • Facebook (OAuth v2.0)
  • Twitter (OAuth v1.0)
  • Google (OpenID)
  • Yahoo (OpenID)

MODULES USED

  • Core: Auth, ORM, Database
  • Core (but not included by default in KO 3.1): pagination
  • Other: kohana-email, kohana-oauth, fleepme-unittest.

CONTRIBUTORS

I would like to thank:

  • jnbdz for adding the reCaptcha support.
  • gartz for doing upgrading the module to support Kohana 3.1.x.

CHANGELOG

March 19th 2011:

  • Upgraded to support Kohana 3.1.x! Thanks gartz!
  • Testing various actions to ensure KO 3.1.2 compatibility (admin in particular), improved validation message handling.
  • Added support for media file routing to make it easier to get started with the module.

Feb 27th 2011:

  • New UI! The UI is loosely based on https://github.com/pilu/web-app-theme (a theme generator for Ruby) and is a lot better looking than the old one. See screenshots below.
  • Twitter login! Requires that you enable the kohana-oauth module from the core.
  • Google and Yahoo login! Uses LightOpenID which is bundled in the repo. I had a look at Janrain's popular library, but to me if you let your library generate errors on PHP 5.0.0 - 5.3.0 and have dozens of pending issues and pull requests - then you just don't care about supporting your library. So not using Janrain's lib.
  • Refactored 3rd party account provider code for better extensibility.
  • Changed from Facebook Javascript API (which had some reports of problems) to PHP/redirect based API. No popups during login, just a redirect!
  • Database changes to allow user to be associated with more service providers. See MIGRATION below if you used had the Facebook login enabled previously and want to migrate the accounts.
  • Included Datatable helper which helps when working with pagination links in tables.

Feb 21st 2011:

  • CRITICAL SECURITY BUG in Facebook login; it is strongly recommended that all users of Facebook login functionality upgrade (does not affect sites with Facebook login disabled). Thank you Euan McKay!
  • To support login via AJAX requests moved the processing of results from the Auth check to Controller_App->access_required and Controller_App->login_required. Override those in your app, using Request::$is_ajax to detect AJAX requests.
  • Workaround for email field for http://dev.kohanaframework.org/issues/3750 in messages/register.php

Jan 28th 2011:

  • Added reCaptcha support (captcha on registration)
  • Upgraded to Kohana v3.0.9

Jan 12th 2011: Pushed out new version with following improvements:

  • Facebook login! Yes, you can now have users register and log in using their Facebook account.
  • New tutorial! I tried to go through everything necessary to get started with the module, see this new post.
  • Transparent extending is now supported; you can start implementing your application by overriding Controller_User / Model_User with a class that extends Controller_Useradmin_User / Model_Useradmin_User.
  • Bug fixes (login using email, validation messages, saving empty password)

Nov 25th 2010: Pushed out new version with following improvements:

  • Now includes Kohana-Email module for sending password reset emails (users can request password request by entering an email, and they will be sent a one-time reset token via email).
  • Validation code in model has been improved based on feedback from biakaveron.
  • Validation code is prettier: it uses the approach from my validation-with-forms tutorial.
  • Framework has been updated to v3.0.8 and minor compatibility bugs fixed.

Sep 14th 2010:

  • Initial version.

SCREENSHOT

MIGRATION from pre-Feb xxth 2011 to new schema

The schema had to be updated to allow for better support for multiple 3rd party providers.

Basically, the facebook_user_id field has been removed from the users table, and moved to the user_identies table. To migrate, you need to create a row for each user with a facebook_user_id in that table, something like:

INSERT INTO useradmin.user_identities (user_id, provider, identity) SELECT users.id, "facebook", users.facebook_user_id FROM useradmin.users;

after creating the new table. You can drop facebook_user_id after this.
