When extending the controller, the model class does not get initialized correctly in the new controller. The easiest way I have found to fix it is to declare the controller like this

<?php

App::uses('UsersController', 'Users.Controller');
App::import('Model', 'Users.User');

class AppUsersController extends UsersController {

then everything works correctly.

PHP 5.3, Cake PHP 2.1.2, MySQL

if (!empty($query['by'])) {
$by = $query['by'];
}

if (empty($query['search'])) {
$query['search'] = '';
}

$db =& ConnectionManager::getDataSource($this->useDbConfig);
$by = $query['by'];

no logic in $by

Somehow my local DB was set up to use UTF16_* collation by default.

Since cake shell add indexes upon table creation, I was constantly getting:

user_details: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified
key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

After some debuging I found out, that changing collation for user_details. user_id and user_details. field to UTF8_* and manually adding index, problem solved.

My question - since such issues i not visible form standard cake shell output, might be on plugin or even CP level there could be some checks, wherever none of multi-column indexes are not being created on UTF16 DB/tables/columns, or even force column encoding to something less space consuming when UTF16 :)

Thanks.

I got this randomly notice on admin_index, got the develop branch for cake 2.3 and last version of search plugin.

Appears on cake 2.3+

I tried all master and develop branch and it still prompts.

UserDetail tries to insert Array as a value because it fails to detect alternative date formats.

Search the UserDetail.php model's saveSection function for this comment:

// Quickfix for date inputs - TODO Try to use $this->deconstruct()?

The following line has the date detection format hardcoded. This is obviously a problem for those who rearrange things. Either a quick loop with in_array or possibly following the TODO in the line would solve the problem and make any related date format possible.

I'm using a freshly downloaded version of CakePHP (2.2.3), CakeDC Users, Search and Utils plugins.
I installed and set up everything as in documentation and it works.
Then I tried to extend the controller:

<?php
App::uses('UsersController', 'Users.Controller');
class AppUsersController extends UsersController {

public function render($view = null, $layout = null) {
    if (is_null($view)) {
        $view = $this->action;
    }
    $viewPath = substr(get_class($this), 0, strlen(get_class($this)) - 10);
    if (!file_exists(APP . 'View' . DS . $viewPath . DS . $view . '.ctp')) {
        $this->plugin = 'Users';
    } else {
        $this->viewPath = $viewPath;
    }
    return parent::render($view, $layout);
}

}

No other methods and no new views.

If I load the URL http://upt/admin/app_users/add the form loads correctly but on submit I get this error:

If I load http://upt/admin/app_users/edit/AN_EXISTING_UID it doesn't even load the form, just the same error (with edit instead of add).

I tried to duplicate the methods in the child controller (with no code change) and the corresponding views, but nothing changes.

is the details feature workin ?

I got: Error: GroupsController could not be found.

And before i got an error on details_controller.php, line 166: $groups = $this->Detail->Group->find('list');, it didn't find Group, and in fact there isn't...

The Sample-Comments-Application uses the Users plugin, but doesn't have the details_controller !

I have extended the UsersController as per the instruction on the README file. However, I noticed that putting $this->plugin = 'User' in the render method made the FormHelper::create() build urls with "Users" as the plugin ( I'm pretty sure other helpers would cause a similar issue). So instead I render the views like so:

//app/Controller/AppUsersController.php
public function render($view = null, $layout = null) {
    if (is_null($view)) {
        $view = $this->action;
    }
    $prefix = '';
    if (!file_exists(APP . 'View' . DS . $this->viewPath . DS . $view . '.ctp')) {
        $prefix = 'Users.Users/';
    }
    return parent::render($prefix . $view, $layout);
}

This works great except, since the elements used in the Plugin do not specify the plugin where they reside ( as they normally will not have to since they are used in the same plugin where they reside ), I get a "Element Not Found" error.

So, all that being said, should all calls to elements in the plugin's view be $this->element('Users.Users/sidebar') instead of $this->element('Users/sidebar') ?

What to do?

Cake Version: 2.0.4

If including the Plugin like this:

CakePlugin::load('Users', array('routes' => true));

... then the /users/add view renders a link to /users/pages/tos

$tosLink = $this->Html->link(__d('users', 'Terms of Service'), array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'tos'));

I found no way to overwrite the Router
Tried:

Router::connect('/users/pages/tos', array('plugin' => false, 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'tos')); // this
Router::connect('/users/pages/tos', array('plugin' => 'users', 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'tos')); // and that

Suggesting this:

$tosLink = $this->Html->link(__d('users', 'Terms of Service'), array('plugin' => false, 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'tos'));

Thanks for this lovely plugin!

Hi,

In Model/User.php I noticed that all calls to $this->hash() don't specify the hash-type except the calls in register and add:
Model/User.php#L577
Model/User.php#L809

This feels inconsistent...

Also, now I need to overload User::hash in stead of just calling Security::setHash('blowfish') somewhere in my app.

It would be good to not have urls like /users/users/reset_password, favouring /users/reset_password.

I'm having an issue using the 2.0 version of this plugin. I did not have any issues with th e1.3 version of this plugin.

The issue is that when I put Auth settings in my AppController.php the settings are being ignored. For now I have "hacked it" by commenting out a few lines in:

Plugin/users/Controller/UsersController.php

line 113

//$this->_setupAuth();

line 127 - 151

// public function _setupAuth() {
    //  $this->Auth->allow('add', 'reset', 'verify', 'logout', 'index', 'view', 'reset_password');

    //  if ($this->request->action == 'register') {
    //      $this->Components->disable('Auth');
    //  }

    //  if ($this->request->action == 'login') {
    //      $this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
    //  }

    //  $this->Auth->authenticate = array(
    //      'Form' => array(
    //          'fields' => array(
    //              'username' => 'email',
    //              'password' => 'password'),
    //          'userModel' => 'Users.User', 
    //          'scope' => array(
    //              'User.active' => 1,
    //              'User.email_verified' => 1)));

    //  $this->Auth->loginRedirect = '/';
    //  $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = '/';
    //  $this->Auth->loginAction = array('admin' => false, 'plugin' => 'users', 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');
    // }

Now I have added the settings in AppController and the desired effect is occurring.

I know this is not the correct method for which to do this. Traditionally I have put the Auth settings in the beforeFilter of my AppController.php. However this time it is not working. I can live with the hack for now but it would be great if someone could point out what I'm missing.

Thanks!

app/users/users/login gets redirected to app/users/login, and then it throws the error "Error: LoginController could not be found."

If I create a route like: Router::connect('/users/:action/*', array('plugin' => 'users', 'prefix' => null, 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'index'));

Then username&password do not never match, and I never get logged in...

I don't understand why all this is happening

I've installed a fresh copy of the users 2.0 plugin. Most of the application works however, when going to view a user I noticed two things.

1. When you edit your account, close it the information properly stores in the database table user_details but if you close that and re-open that edit your account page it shows blank.
2. When viewing an account I get a Noice (8) undefined index : .. for both 'field' and 'value' even though the information is in the database.

Reported by Angel S. Moreno | February 9th, 2011 @ 02:06 AM

The plugin's Users Controller's View action is expecting the slug of the user to be the first passed argument but the view in constructing the url in a way that the user id is passed instead.

So I have extended the UsersAppController and now the actions are available via the /app_user/* route.

How can I forbid anyone from accessing the plugin's core routes? i.e. /users/*

Use case
When searching users using the plugins index view, is it expected behaviour that it should be searching usernames as exacts rather than partials?

Example
Username: davidyell
Search: david
Currently:

WHERE `User`.`username` = 'david'

Expected:

WHERE `User`.`username` LIKE '%david%'

Suggested
I would think that this behaviour is more useful to the user as it will allow less typing and is more likely to always return a result meaning that the user will not feel that they've done something wrong if they get no results.

I think there needs to be a change here, https://github.com/CakeDC/users/blob/master/Model/User.php#L43-45 although I was under the impression that the Search plugin used the LIKE '%foobar%' match as the default?

I'd suggest changing the username field from a 'value' to a 'like'.

If this is a positive change I'll create a PR for it. :)

I may have found an issue while upgrading to the latest version.

Fatal Error
Error: Undefined class constant 'isAuthorized'
File: /vagrant/app/Plugin/Users/Controller/UsersAppController.php
Line: 31

I'm using isAuthorized() as a function in my AppController. I receive the above error unless I copy the isAuthorized() function from my AppController in to my AppUsersController.

I'm trying to avoid having redundant functions in multiple places. While investigating I found that in Plugins/Users/Controllers/UsersAppController is calling the parent::isAuthorized as a variable. Prior to upgrading it was calling the parent::isAuthorized(); as a function which in my case will access the function in my AppController.

Really chuffed with the new RememberMe component, but struggling to use it. I'm guessing the readme doesn't currently reference it.

I tried adding 'Users.RememberMe' to the $components array in AppController, but then I get this:

Notice (8): Trying to get property of non-object [ROOT/plugins/users/Controller/Component/RememberMeComponent.php, line 81]

Fatal error: Call to a member function loggedIn() on a non-object in /var/www/cmpsr.loc/htdocs/plugins/users/Controller/Component/RememberMeComponent.php on line 91 

It looks like $this->Auth is not being setup before the RememberMe component is running, at least that's my novice CakePHP guess. :-)

In DetailsController in 'edit' action:

if (empty($this->data)) {
    $this->data['Detail'] = $this->Detail->getSection($this->Auth->user('id'), $section);
}

corrected:

if (empty($this->data)) {
    $data = $this->Detail->getSection($this->Auth->user('id'), $section);
    $this->data['Detail'] = $data[$section];
}

Based on the examples being used this is confusing:

public function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->User = ClassRegistry::init('AppUser');
}

This might be a better example:

public function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->AppUser = ClassRegistry::init('AppUser');
}

I'm a little unclear with the documentation on how to extend the controller. Can you help?

(I want to change the Auth->loginRedirect actions.)

Do I create a file called AppUsersController.php

Here:
app/Controller/AppUsersController.php

or Here:
app/Plugin/Users/Controller/AppUsersController.php

And should it look like this to redirect to the Dashboard?

App::uses('UsersController', 'Users.Controller');
class AppUsersController extends UsersController {

    $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = '/';
    $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'dashboard');

}

Directory "locales" should be renamed to "Locales".

Reported by Ben McClure | September 12th, 2011 @ 12:59 PM

Just starting to check out the Users plugin, and so far I really like what I see.

The first thing that strikes me as odd, however, is the name of the 'details' table.

Wouldn't it be more ideal to name it user_details, both to indicate its actual purpose, and to avoid naming conflicts with any other application or plugin which might have a more generic use for the 'details' table? DetailsController and Detail aren't as big of an issue, because they are at least namespaced inside the plugin, though I still think it would make more sense to go with UserDetailsController and UserDetail for clarity's sake.

I realize it's easy enough to change, but I wasn't sure if there was any particular reasoning behind using such a generic name for such a specific purpose :)

Thanks!

I run into a situation that I was able to successfully login, but the redirect after the successfull login somehow killed the session.

I had to avoid the redirect and just go manually to the protected pages - then the sessions worked. I figured out that I had to change the Session config in /Config/core.php and use "use_trans_sid" set to true.

Configure::write('Session', array(
    //...,
    'ini' => array('session.use_trans_sid' => true)
));

Did I miss something or is my new session config dangerous?

Summary: I think the extending controller example in readme should be updated to include

public $uses = array('Users.User');

I'm running into a few problems when extending controller and model on 2.2.x here's solution for one issue.

Create our extending controller following the and also add the render() function example from the readme so we can pickup the existing plugin views.

now access /AppUsers/add and create an account and login at /AppUsers/login , /AppUsers/dashboard loads as well, but /AppUsers/edit results in fatal error

Error: Call to a member function getSection() on a non-object   
File: app/Plugin/Users/Controller/UsersController.php

to fix add the following to our extending controller

public $uses = array('Users.User');

this will also work

public function beforeFilter() {
  parent::beforeFilter();
  $this->loadModel('Users.User');
}

Hello all,

I'm still working on getting this plugin going. I'm using cakePHP 2.1.1 and I want to extend the plugin for my application. My previous question about this got me a good answer but I think it's really 1.3 specific.

So the documentation says to 'declare the class' AppUsersController. Please verify that I need to create a AppUsersController.php file and where it should go. Does it go with the rest of the Plugin's controllers or does it sit up with my AppController.php file in the main application?

I've tried both, making sure to put in the following code:
public function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->User = ClassRegistry::init('AppUser');
}

I then try to overwrite the _getMailInstance method from the Plugin's UsersController.php but it doesn't work.

So my questions are:

1. If I'm extending the controller, I should be able to overwrite methods that exist in the Plugin's UsersController, correct?
2. Where should I be putting the AppUsersController.php?

Thanks for your time and patience. I really like the Plugin and I'd really like to learn how to utilize it properly.

add login to allow action @ users_controller

u must add some information:
u have in view email,password
in code is default cakephp ussername, password, users plugin settings must be sometging like that:

function beforeFilter(){
    $this->Auth->fields = array(
        'username' => 'email', 
        'password' => 'passwd'
        );
}

information about Email component in my case return true but sendmail do not sent mails so i propose to everybody use smtp delivery method

$this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
                'port'=>'465',
                'timeout'=>'30',
                'host'=>'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
                'username'=>'[email protected]',
                'password'=>'xxx'
                );
            $this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';

add echo $this->Session->flash('auth'); to login view
after that and created && activated account i still cant login to my page ...
how can i debug it and resolve thath problem

you should fix 2.0 version of your readme

controller extend. function render()

replace this:

public function render($action = null, $layout = null, $file = null) {
if (is_null($action)) {
$action = $this->action;
}
if (!file_exists(VIEWS . $this->viewPath . DS . $action . '.ctp')) {
$file = App::pluginPath('users') . 'views' . DS . 'users' . DS . $action . '.ctp';
}
return parent::render($action, $layout, $file);
}

with this:

public function render($action = null, $layout = null, $file = null) {
if (is_null($action)) {
$action = $this->action;
}
if (!file_exists(APP.DS.'View'. $this->viewPath . DS . $action . '.ctp')) {
$file = App::pluginPath('Users') . 'View' . DS . 'Users' . DS . $action . '.ctp';
}
return parent::render($action, $layout, $file);
}

With CakePHP 1.3, I have some problems with the "remember me" checkbox on the login form. It basically does nothing. Checked or not, the user has to re-login on the website often.

I checked the code and saw that a cookie was created on login but it's pretty much it.

Am I missing something here? :)

Issue:
The setCookie method of the RememberMe component has a hard coded expire of "+99 years". This will eventually reach strtotime in the _expire method of the Cookie component, and such a far out date will return false on 32-bit PHP (see strtotime notes), effectively turning the remember me cooking into session only.

Here is some discussion of the strtotime 32bit issue on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3266077/php-strtotime-is-returning-false-for-a-future-date

Possible fix:
Take out the hard code and just rely on component settings for the cookie timeout.

When "Remember Me" input is checked on login a cookie is saved. This cookie is not used to automatically log in the user.

It seems that if I hit an admin url, such as /admin/articles, I get directed to //users/users/login.

Which is great, but I'm not sure why there is an extra slash in there.

In many Apache configurations (since this is the default value), Apache will refuse any request which contains a URL encoded forward slash in the path component of a URL (see AllowEncodedSlashes Directive).

Given this limitation, it is pretty much impossible to use the return_to named parameter on the above configuration. I realise that you can achieve almost the same result using Auth.redirect session variable, but sessions time out and this can cause confusion to end users. I also realise that the controller can be overridden, but if the functionality is there, it makes sense that it be compatible with most configurations.

I propose that in addition to checking for the return_to named parameter (for backwards compatibility), a query string parameter should also be checked. Perhaps someone else has a better solution.

This is just a suggestion. Maybe no one else has ever had this issue in which case it wouldn't make sense to add this given this is a limitation on a specific setup (albeit a common setup).

The following text is copied from #81 because this should be a separate issue and does not belong into the pull request:

Having made this change, I have another issue. I delete my session cookies, leaving the Users[rememberMe] cookie, and then try to access a restricted method. The $this->Auth->login($data); in AppController returns true, I am logged in, and I can access controller methods which are not visible to anonymous users. However, debug($this->Auth->user('id')); shows null.

I'm not familiar enough with cakephp to know what's going on. I do know that after a form based login, $this->Auth->user('id') returns the currently logged in user's id. So something appears to be different between a cookie based login and a form login.

That's what i get with a fresh install. (CakePHP 2.2)

Data is correctly save but on the other side, inputs still blank.
I saw Burzum's patch on this issue but it doesn't work.

Also could you be more explicit about validation on the UserDetail Model, for example i can't get a rule like "notEmpty" working on the firstname input. Maybe this issue is linked to the first one.

Thanks for your reply

Why do password field 2.0 version differ old version :?

2.0 is "password"
1.0 is "passwd"

Hello,

If, as a user, I edit my profile it allows me to edit my username to one of an existing user?

Sorry, new to CakePHP, might be something I am doing...

Thanks
John

I downloaded the master and found that the admin_index is calling a function that doesn't exist:

        $this->User->validator()->remove('username');
        $this->User->validator()->remove('email');

Everything works OK (except the missing () in isAuthorized, already fixed)

PHP 5.3, Cake PHP 2.1.2, MySQL.

Note: I just found that validator is a new function in CakePHP 2.2. So I just commented it out.

I'm positive this isn't a problem with your plugin but with my understanding of the new CakeEmail component and Cakephp 2.1.1, but hopefully you could give me a clue.

I've got a fresh cakephp 2.1.1 installation and your plugin installed. I can add users and view them etc. When I go to do anything that handles email I get an Internal Error. The sendVerificationEmail array appears to be empty if that matters.

The only thing I've done to the cake installation that's not in your plugin instructions is to rename email.php.default to email.php and put in my institutions smtp relay information (under $smtp). All plugins are set to load in bootstrap.php.

Any suggestions?

hi
i wanted to use the schema tool to create the user tables in mysql but i got errors.

it succeded only when i used this line.
cake schema create --name users --plugin Users

notice the capitale U in "--plugin Users"
whitout it its not working.

also it works only when you type the command when your location is in the app dir. any other location will not work.

thats all,
thanks for the plugin
Tal

Strict (2048): Declaration of UsersAppController::isAuthorized() should be compatible with AppController::isAuthorized($user = NULL) [APP/Plugin/Users/Controller/UsersAppController.php, line 21]

public function isAuthorized($user = null) {
return parent::isAuthorized($user);
}

When trying to start (branch 2.0 on cakephp 2.2) create schema I got "cannot load schema.php" message, and the same with Migrations
Any hint ?

I'm testing each function in this application because I'm going to be using it in an project. I thought I would point out a few of my findings. Community members, please correct my usage if I miss-speak. My intention is to help someone who has run into similar issues.

Users Controller

_sendPasswordReset (line 593)

Change

'from' => 'noreply@' . env('HTTP_HOST'),

To

'from' => Configure::read('App.defaultEmail'),

Email template

I ran into an issue using the default email password reset template. I have copied all of the email templates to /app/View/Plugin/users/Emails/.

If you are using the routes from the readme you will need to:

Change

echo Router::url(array('admin' => false, 'plugin' => 'users', 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'reset_password', $token), true);

To

echo Router::url(array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'reset_password', $token), true);

Or

Simply customize the templates to your liking.

Readme Notes

Extending the model

This

App::uses('User', 'Users.Model');
class AppUser extends User {
    public $useTable = 'users';
}

Should Be This

App::import('Model', 'Users.User');
class AppUser extends User {
    public $useTable = 'users';
    public $alias = 'User';

Changing login redirect and other _setupAuth() stuff

I created a AppUsersController.php with the following:

App::uses('UsersController', 'Users.Controller');
class AppUsersController extends UsersController {
  public $name = 'Users';

  public function __construct($request = null, $response = null) {
    parent::__construct($request, $response);
    $this->User = ClassRegistry::init('AppUser');
  }

  public function beforeFilter() {
    parent::beforeFilter();
    
  }

  public function _setupAuth() {
    parent::_setupAuth();

    $this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
    $this->Auth->loginRedirect = '/admin/users/users';
    $this->Auth->loginRedirect = '/login';

  }

Please note that I am inheriting the model a little different than the docs suggest by doing this:

$this->User = ClassRegistry::init('AppUser');

Then added the following to my routes:

  //Used to extend the users controller
  Router::connect('/users', array('plugin' => null, 'controller' => 'AppUsers'));
  Router::connect('/users/:action/*', array('plugin' => null, 'controller' => 'AppUsers', 'action' => 'index'));
