I originally wrote the StarField with an old version of Flixel, where you were required to override the constructor. I believe with Flixel 2+, that’s no longer the case.

I’m a bit rusty with my CakePHP, but it looks like your guys’ posted code handles user login inside the login_form function in the UsersController. Did you intend to put it in the login() function as the tutorial suggests? Also, what version of CakePHP do y’all use?

Recall that the login_form.ctp view will call our controllers login(..) function. Thus, the code should be inside your login(..) function instead of login_form(..).

Let me know if that helps.

I tried ur code.

If i place my cursor in the login button, i cant able to see the URL in the below.

I checked my code. login_form.ctp is correct and it passes control to my users_controller.php.

if(empty($this->data['User']['username']) == false)
{}
else
{}

But this code is not working. Both if and else. I tested by giving echo message. I found its not entering in the loop. If i give echo message in the first line or last line in the program, it prints correctly.

Will u please help me to fix it?

function login_form()
{
//Check if they went here after submitting the form
// Note that all our form data is preceded by the model name ['User']
if(empty($this->data['User']['username']) == false)
{

//Here we validate the user by calling that method from the User model
if(($user = $this->WeeeUser->validateLogin($this->data['User'])) != false)
{
//Write some Session variables and redirect to our next page!
$this->Session->setFlash(‘Thank you for logging in!’);
$this->Session->write(‘User’, $user);

// Go to our first destination!
$this->Redirect(array(‘controller’ => ‘users’, ‘action’ => ‘index’));

exit();
}
else
{
$this->Session->setFlash(‘Incorrect username/password!’, true);
$this->Redirect(array(‘action’ => ‘login_form’));
exit();
}
}

Here is my code.
