I am having similar problem to most people with Auth:Attempt. However, I could not find one documentation where I could use existing table with using migration tool to create a new users table.
My application details
- I am using existing table to keep track of users and not using migration tool to generate users table.
- passwords in database is not hashed. I have separate page to add new users and store them in database. It uses User model class.
- I don't know how to make passwords hashed while storing them in database using user model for existing table.
- I am using Auth::attempt($user) to authenticate.
My code
routes.php
Route::post('/login',array('as' => 'login', function () {
$user = array(
'username' => Input::get('username'),
'password' => Input::get('password')
);
if (Auth::attempt($user)) {
return "Hello World! :)";
/*return Redirect::route('home')
->with('flash_notice', 'You are successfully logged in.');*/
}
//return "Hello World! :o";
// authentication failure! lets go back to the login page
return Redirect::route('login')
->with('flash_error', 'Your username/password combination was incorrect.')
->withInput();
}));
login page code:
@extends('layouts.login_registration_master')
@section('content')
<div class="row centered-form">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-8 col-md-4 col-sm-offset-2 col-md-offset-4">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-title">Please Login</h3>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
@if (Session::has('flash_error'))
<div id="flash_error">{{ Session::get('flash_error') }}</div>
@endif
{{Form::open(array('route' => 'login', 'method'=>'POST')) }}
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::text('username', null, array('class'=>'form-control input-sm','placeholder'=>'User Name')) }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::password('password', array('class'=>'form-control input-sm','placeholder'=>'Password')) }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">
{{ Form::checkbox('remember', 'Remember Me'); echo ' Remember Me'}}
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6 pull-right" align="right">
{{ HTML::linkAction('RegistrationController@showForgotPasswordPage', 'Forgot Password?') }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
{{ Form::submit('Login', array('class'=>'btn btn-info btn-block')) }}
</div>
<div class="row" align="center">
{{ HTML::linkAction('RegistrationController@showMainPage', 'Sign Up for new account.') }}
</div>
{{Form::close()}}
</div>
</div>
