Customized Hooks

You can register or remove hook without hooks.php file.

// Prepends new hook to 'post_controller' hook point
$CI->hooks->prepend('post_controller', function() {
	do_some_thing();
});

// Appends new hook
$CI->hooks->append(
	'post_user_register', // you can also add new hook point too
	function($data) { // new parameter $data will provided by call_hook()
		send_register_notification();

		// All hook point can have multiple hook. These all hooks will called.
		// but you may stop next hook call by return false.
		return false;
	}
);

// Remove hook
$CI->hooks->remove('hook_point', $hook_to_removed);

// Remove all hooks
$CI->hooks->remove_all('hook_point');

// call to 'new_hook_point' hook with passed some data
$CI->hooks->call_hook('new_hook_point', array('some data'));

Role Based Access Control

You can enable user access control to your CodeIgniter application based user role such Admin Author etc. This librariy requires database migration. Follow this steps to setup RBAC.

• Add new tables on your database first. You may just import the provided SQL file rbac-scheme.sql.
• Add new field role with type int to your user table if not exist. You can run this sql command ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `role` int NULL;
• Add new post_controller_constructor hook Copy this code and paste to your hook.php

$hook['post_controller_constructor'][] = function() {
	// when user logged in, you must set user role to $_SESION
	$config = array('role' => $_SESSION['role']);
	CI_Controller::get_instance()->load->library('rbac', $config);
	User_access_control::run();
};

The user_can() function provided to test whether user can do spesified permission or user has a role. Argument accepted in following forms.

user_can('controller/method');	// user can run a method in controller.
user_can('controller/*');		// all methods in controller
user_can('*');					// all actions
user_can('@admin');				// Role test, user can do 'admin' permissions

Example usage: You can control the button display for specified user role in your view.

<?php if (user_can('@admin'): ?>
	<button>Delete</button>
<?php endif ?>
