Answer 1

In your controller, when you call the "run" method is when the proccess is done:

public function sm_login_action() {
    $this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
    $this->load->library('form_validation'); 
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required');

   if( $this->form_validation->run() ) { // Return TRUE on success
        // Success
   } else {
      // Failure
  }
}
