I'm using Yii2 and I have setup a login process which works fine (cookies as well) via the standard login page which is not AJAX.
I have built a dropdown login field which works fine at logging them in, however it doesn't seem to set the cookie as the user doesn't stay logged in and there is no bookie created.
I figured that this was because of AJAX and the cookie wasn't being created on the users system, but upon further reading it seems it should work.
I have verified that the cookie value is being set correctly, the only issue is the cookie doesn't seem to being created.
My login code:
JS:
function doLogin() {
// Set file to prepare our data
var loadUrl = "../../user/login/";
// Set parameters
var dataObject = $('#login_form').serialize();
// Set status element holder
var status_el = $('#login_status');
// Make sure status element is hidden
status_el.hide();
// Run request
getAjaxData(loadUrl, dataObject, 'POST', 'json')
.done(function(response) {
if (response.result == 'success') {
//.......
} else {
//.......
}
})
.fail(function() {
//.......
});
// End
}
function getAjaxData(loadUrl, dataObject, action, type) {
if ($('meta[name="csrf-token"]').length) {
// Add our CSRF token to our data object
dataObject._csrf = $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content');
}
return jQuery.ajax({
type: action,
url: loadUrl,
data: dataObject,
dataType: type
});
}
Controller:
public function actionLogin() {
// Check if they already logged in
if (!Yii::$app->user->isGuest and !Yii::$app->request->isAjax) {
return $this->redirect('/');
}
if (Yii::$app->request->isAjax) {
// Set our data holder
$response = ['output' => '', 'result' => 'error'];
}
// Let's send the POST data to the model and see if their login was valid
if (Yii::$app->request->isAjax and $this->user->validate() and $this->user->login()) {
$response['result'] = 'success';
} elseif (!Yii::$app->request->isAjax and Yii::$app->request->isPost and $this->user->validate() and $this->user->login()) {
//.......
} else {
//.......
}
if (Yii::$app->request->isAjax) {
echo Json::encode($response);
}
}
Model:
public function login() {
// Set cookie expire time
$cookie_expire = 3600 * 24 * Yii::$app->params['settings']['cookie_expire'];
return Yii::$app->user->login($this->getUser(), ($this->remember_me ? $cookie_expire : 0));
}
