User Demo Sample

This sample is based on Hello World sample. It shows how to:

• Create a new module named User
• Create User entity
• Implement user authentication (with login and password)
• Implement access filter to restrict access to certain pages to authenticated users only
• Implement user management UI
• Init main menu items differently based on whether the current user is logged in or not

Installation

You need to have Apache 2.4 HTTP server, PHP v.5.6 or later with gd and intl extensions, and MySQL 5.6 or later.

Download the sample to some directory (it can be your home dir or /var/www/html) and run Composer as follows:

php composer.phar install

The command above will install the dependencies (Zend Framework and Doctrine).

Enable development mode:

php composer.phar development-enable

Adjust permissions for data directory:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data data
sudo chmod -R 775 data

Create public/img/captcha directory:

mkdir public/img/captcha

Adjust permissions for public/img/captcha directory:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data public/img/captcha
sudo chmod -R 775 public/img/captcha 

Create config/autoload/local.php config file by copying its distrib version:

cp config/autoload/local.php.dist config/autoload/local.php

Edit config/autoload/local.php and set database password parameter.

Login to MySQL client:

mysql -u root -p

Create database:

CREATE DATABASE userdemo;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON userdemo.* TO userdemo@localhost identified by '<your_password>';
quit

Run database migrations to intialize database schema:

./vendor/bin/doctrine-module migrations:migrate

Then create an Apache virtual host. It should look like below:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /path/to/userdemo/public
    
	<Directory /path/to/userdemo/public/>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Now you should be able to see the User Demo website by visiting the link "http://localhost/".
