CWebUser without User model ?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Can we extend CWebUser without the present of User model class? Currently I do not define User model class, instead I’m using other class name ( and table ) to define user class ( LdapUser ) I tried to create this class :


class WebUser extends CWebUser {

	

	private $_model;

	

	function isAdmin() {

		$user = $this->loadUser(Yii::app()->user->id);

		return intval($user->role_id)==1;

	}

	

	protected loadUser($id){

		if($id===null){

			if($id!==null){

				$this->_model = Ldapuser::model()->findByAttributes(array('user_id'=>$id))

			}

		}

		return $this->_model;

	}


}

and configuration file :


'components'=>array(

                'user'=>array(

		        'class'=>'WebUser',

                // enable cookie-based authentication

                        'allowAutoLogin'=>true,

                ),

)

But Im getting white screen with these option.

Please help :)

If you generated the application, you should take a look at WebRoot/protected/components/UserIdentity.php, that is where authentication is configured.

"CWebUser should be used together with an identity which implements the actual authentication algorithm." - CWebUser

Example:




function authenticate() {

    $user = Ldapuser::model()->findByAttributes(array('user_id'=>$id)); // why not findByPk($id) ?

    if ($user === null) {

        $this->errorCode = self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;

    }

    else {

        if($user->password!==$user->encrypt($this->password)) {

            $this->errorCode self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;

        }

        else {

            $this->_id = $user->id

            $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;

        }

    }

    return !$this->errorCode;

}


public function getId() {

    return $this->_id;

}

If you get white screen it means that you have some syintax error that is not displayed.

Put this in your index.php:




error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors',1);

in order to display all errors.

Thanks zaccaria, it was indeed a syntax error. Now I get the custom WebUser class running smoothly. :slight_smile:
