Hybrid Auth with Codeigniter

Question

I downloaded the codeigniter extension of HybridAuth here:

https://github.com/andacata/HybridIgniter

I followed instructions on its use. When I try to login via any provider at: www.mydomainname.com/hauth/login/twitter it loads a page saying:

HybridAuth
Open Source Social Sign On PHP Library. 
hybridauth.sourceforge.net/

It never works. I have valid API credentials for Twitter and Facebook but both load this page and nothing else happens. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE

My log says:

Hybrid_Provider_Adapter::login( facebook ), redirect the user to login_start URL. -- Array

Answer 1

here is my code which work 100% :

class Auth extends MX_Controller {

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->template->set_layout('login');

    }

    //social login
    public function social($provider)
    {
        try{
            $this->load->library('HybridAuthLib');
            $this->load->model('auth_model');
            $serviceEnabled = $this->hybridauthlib->serviceEnabled($provider);
            if ($serviceEnabled)
            {

                $this->service = $this->hybridauthlib->authenticate($provider);

                    if($this->auth_model->count_user_by_uid($user_profile->identifier) === 0)

                            'old_last_login'       => $user->last_login
                        );

i hope that you can find it useful. am using the ion_auth for the main login system. the auth_model is a small model which check if the user has enabled this provider with name or not, since i want the user to have the same data even if he use another social network to login with ..

Upholstery

sweet, I will test it when I get a chance – Nag

how does the code fix the problem? I get this error when when i remove index.php usage from url path with htaccess and config.php. – Whopper

@Whopper its working fine with me, so if its not working with you then you have to remember that each project has his own case .. – Upholstery

There is no $this->load->model('auth_model'); please put this one. – Posthaste

@SelVaa am not sure which version you are using, this is an old example back in 2012 so I think you should check the docs of codeigniter. – Upholstery

Answer 2

the above answer didn't help much to me but i figured out the problem.

Add index.php to base_url in config/hybridauthlib.php

'base_url' => '/index.php/hauth/endpoint',

Whopper

I found that had helped me to when debugging this issue. – Nag

for me since am using MX_Moudles my base_url looks like this one 'base_url' => '/users/auth/endpoint', – Upholstery

@Whopper How did you updates base_url? In my case when I add index.php in URL manually it works well but not by automatic – Chokedamp

@PlanetHackers sorry man, I did this a long time ago. Don't even remember what I was doing here. – Whopper
