kohana2 auth - login problem

Question

I'm trying to make a login form for my kohana2 app using ORM example presented in kohana2 docs ( http://docs.kohanaphp.com/addons/auth ). I've done everything like in the wiki but after providing username, password and sending a form, nothing happens. No error, no exception, nothing! just the same form without any errors.

Here is the controller action, the only thing i've changed was adding a template functionality: http://pastebin.com/jEc4nqSP

There is a die() function in line 42, it's there for debug purposes. After sending a form, it displays Array ( [username] => invalid ) 1. I'm sure i have that user data in database and i'm providing a proper username and password. Roles are set to login. Have you any idea what am i doing wrong ?

Thanks.

On line 39 you are creating an empty ORM user object. At a minimum, surely you want:

ORM::factory('user', $post['username'])

Although you probably want to refactor that, so it actually checks that the username value is set.

unfortunately it's still not working. I'm still getting the same die() result. Btw, isn't `login($post)` method handling `$post['username']` ? – mbajur Jun 30 '11 at 19:51

Ok problem solved! All we need to do is to create a new user with this code (registration controller from kohana2 docs):

<?php
// grab relevant $_POST data
$username = $this->input->post('username');
$password = $this->input->post('password');

// instantiate User_Model and set attributes to the $_POST data
$user = ORM::factory('user');
$user->username = $username;
$user->password = Auth::instance()->hash_password($password);

// if the user was successfully created...
if ($user->add(ORM::factory('role', 'login')) AND $user->save()) {

    // login using the collected data
    Auth::instance()->login($username, $password);

    // redirect to somewhere         
    url::redirect('user/profile');
}

The previous admin login data was not working cause the password was not hashed properly.
