Have Any question? Feel free to ask me!

Looks cool :)

when i add "jacopo/authentication": "1.1.0" to my composer.json file I get the following error on updating composer.

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- The requested package jacopo/authentication could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

Potential causes:
- A typo in the package name
- The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.

Read <http://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

I'm working with Laravel 4.2

thnx, Frederik

Thanks for feedback, i updated the dependencies, now should work well also with Laravel 4.2.*

Here is the composer.json that i used to install the package:

"require": {
                "laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
                "jacopo/laravel-authentication-acl": "1.1.0"
},

Waiting for your feedback. Jacopo.

Hello,

I'm new at frameworks and laravel. I did all the setup process but i have some issues, maybe because i'm new.

1. On user/signup i keep having "The captcha is not valid, please try again." and stay on that screen. I can create users from admin area.
2. From admin/user/profile/edit the upload avatar keep saying "Cannot upload the file." even for both users and [email protected]

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

If you enabled captcha validation in the configuration you have to fill in the captcha field with the text shown. Considering the user avatar you can change the avatar only if you already have saved your user profile first (at the moment) so you have to save the user profile and then change his avatar.

Hello intrip and thanks for help.

Considering the user avatar you can change the avatar only if you already have saved your user profile first (at the moment) so you have to save the user profile and then change his avatar.

About the avatar it's ok, you were right, i have to save profile before being able to upload the avatar. I will add a notice on the profile page so i won't forget it next time.

The captcha still don't want to be validated and my chrome console give me the following information :

Resource interpreted as Font but transferred with MIME type text/html: "http://localhost:8000/fonts/Bariol_Thin.otf". jquery-1.10.2.min.js:4 (anonymous function) jquery-1.10.2.min.js:4 c jquery-1.10.2.min.js:4 p.fireWith jquery-1.10.2.min.js:4 x.extend.ready jquery-1.10.2.min.js:4 q jquery-1.10.2.min.js:4

There was a bug with captcha validation, i've fixed that now. In order to download the update do rm -rf vendor/jacopo and then run again composer update. If composer load the package from cache use COMPOSER_CACHE_DIR=/tmp/foo composer update after deleting the vendor/jacopo folder. Everything should work now. Waiting for your feedback.

Jacopo.

I just did a new install and everything is OK now.

Thank you for your help and for that great package.

I've using "jacopo/laravel-authentication-acl": "1.1.1" and run command "composer update" and get errors below:

Hi, i think i had the same issue and everything was fixed after a "composer update --prefer-dist"

Try and let us know

I tried "composer update --prefer-dist" but still have the problem.. :'(

I think your problem is coming from the fact that intervention/image needs php_fileinfo extension. Try to add extension= php_fileinfo.dll to your php.ini file and restart your web server.

Thank you @intrip. My problem is solved. Thanks a lot :D

I think this problem is solved from version 1.1.2+ . Just change your composer.json dependency to version 1.1.* and run composer update. Waiting for your feedback. Thanks.

I'm trying out your ACL application, thanks for creating it.

It seems that only the admin can change a user's password or update their profile. Is there any way for the user to change their own password?

Every user can change his profile with the link to the profile in the top-right of the screen. About the password i didn't add that field but i'll ad it soon. Remember to run composer-update to get the last software version. I'll keep you updated.

Jacopo.

#Version 1.1.6 is out! Here is the Changelog:

1. Auto logout of a banned user if is already logged in
2. Self password edit for every user
3. Gravatar support

@intrip,

How can I protect all my routes to only logged users can be able to access?

I changed my app/routes.php as below and are not working, the user keeps being redirected to /login:

Route::group(['before' => 'auth'], function ()
{
		Route::get('/', function()
			{
				return View::make('hello');
			}
		);
});

Check my answer on github. Have a nice day.

I use Jacopo laravel authendication-acl.It produce a not found exception for new controller i create.what i do please help me

Class Jacopo\Authentication\Controllers\FaqController does not exist this is the error that given

Your problem is that your using the same namespace if the package to add your custom controllers. In order to do that you need to define a custom namespace for your application and implement that in your laravel app, check out the docs for more info: http://laravel.com/docs

Thank you for the cool package... I´m new to Laravell, but coding PHP since 5 years now. Next on my agenda is to make the app lokking like your authentification system.

Is there an easy way to join the auth system with the app or will both be separated apps?

Thanks

Christian

When you install it you have the app in the vendor folder, aniways you can overrite the views and add as many as you want. If you run php artisan view:publish jacopo/laravel-authentication-acl. For more information check this out https://github.com/intrip/laravel-authentication-acl/blob/1.1/docs/index.md#howto

Hi there this works for me on a route like this - -

Route::get('/', [
    'before' => "logged:/login",
    'uses'=>function()
{	
	return View::make('hello');

}]); 

But how would I do the same for a resource route

Route::resource('customertypes', 'CustomertypesController');

HI Intrip,

Really nice work.

I'm also new with the framework, I would like if there is an easy way to have 2 different types of front-end users with different fields and forms on registration?

Thanks

Will v1.2 still use Sentry or leverage L5s built in auth?

I was able to get this to work -->

Route::group(['before' => "logged:/login"], function () {
  
Route::resource('series','SeriesController');
  
Route::resource('customertypes', 'CustomertypesController');

Route::resource('quotes', 'QuotesController');

Route::resource('buyers', 'BuyersController');

Route::resource('products', 'ProductsController');
Route::resource('deliverydetails', 'DeliverydetailsController');

Route::resource('sales_teams', 'Sales_teamsController');

Route::resource('relationshipdiscounts', 'RelationshipdiscountsController');

Route::resource('constructions', 'ConstructionsController');

Route::resource('items', 'ItemsController');
          });

Yes, for now

I have a problem. Is there a way to use all bootstrap related images and fonts to run locally? I am getting this error and images are not displaying in chrome and firefox. Console error: Font from origin 'http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com' has been blocked from loading by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access.

Hi there just want to say I love the package very useful - so thank you for your hard work.

While developing my application on my local homestead box everything works flawlessly! Once I moved to the live server, I started receiving the following error. This is happening when I am attempt to edit a user, in the user list or when attempting to update the users profile.

Everything worked right on the Vagrant box so I imagine it’s some configuration issue – have you seen this issue before? Can you offer any guidance?

Oops turns out it was actually a data migration issue - fixed the group refs in the db and everything is perfect once more !!!!

How do I use it in a Laravel 5 application ?

I'm developing a L5 compabile version for now is not yet supported. Keep in mind L5 is still under deveopment and it's not safe to use it.

I am new to Laravel and and I am using ACL package.I have successfully installed it but I can add items in the sidebar by reading documentation.Can you please give me example from which I can easily understand that how to add items in the sidebar??Reply please...

By the way the package is really awesome.

Hi there! Nice package!

Just a Does the authenticaton mechanism of this package works independenlty of the Auth mechanism of Laravel? For example, will the following filter setup a session that is independent of the package's sessions?

Route::filter('auth.api',function(){ Config::set('session.driver', 'array'); return Auth::onceBasic('username'); });

Any news when we could expect port to L5 available? Just wonder, as this would help me planning my next project :)

I'm using the laravel-authentication-acl-admin-panel for a blog project. How can I modify the view(html and css) for the user login and admin login?

#The Laravel5 Version is out and fully working!

Enjoy. Im planning to add some new cool features soon, stay in touch!

Take a look on github: https://github.com/intrip/laravel-authentication-acl

How to check if the user is logged in within views, if i want display some elements of the page only to authenticated users?

I solved using Sentry, because Laravel Authentication ACL is based on sentry2:

@if (Sentry::check())
// some stuff
@else
// another some stuff
@endif

lucatwiv said:

you can use App::make('authentication_helper')->check();

Laravel 5.1 version is out!. Please give me some feedback.

Though there are multiple backup tools that are available in the market, what I liked most about Ahsay is that there is fast support services. This makes it even more convenient to the users. I would really recommend Ahsay for speedy backup services.

what's the problem with this, it keep throwing me the error 401and i'm logged as superadmin

I solved this already. There was a problem of routing in the middleware 'web'. Sorry and thanks anyway

I have installed Laravel 5.2 and laravel-authentication-acl admin panel Now I want to be able to check whether there is logged in user in a view like this

@if (Sentry::check())
                        <li class="dropdown">
                            <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">
                               {!! isset($logged_user) ? $logged_user->email : 'User' !!}<span class="caret"></span>
                            </a>

                            <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
                                <li><a href="{{ url('/user/logout') }}"><i class="fa fa-btn fa-sign-out"></i>Logout</a></li>
                            </ul>

                    @endif

But Sentry::check() always returns false even when a user is logged in

Please tell me what to use in place of Sentry::check()

I share some advice for a trouble-free setup. Use the official setup guide to install Composer, and not apt-get, because apt version of composer is not an official installation channel and can create issues. Open the terminal in your laravel folder ("my blog", "my application",..) and run these command lines to install Composer. Then run

php composer.phar require jacopo/laravel-authentication-acl

(from packagist.org/packages/jacopo/laravel-authentication-acl#1.3.17) to install Laravel Authentication ACL. Not use just "composer..", but use "php composer.phar.." if you installed Composer with official setup guide, not using apt-get.
