[Solar-talk] Verifying Login Status

[Sean Montague]

Thanks Rodrigo,

You say that it would be better to set the auth adapter configuration in 
the config file. Which makes sense to me, so now I'm trying to figure 
out the best way to do this. My modified Solar.config.php looks like this:

    $config['Solar_Sql'] = array(
        'adapter' => 'Solar_Sql_Adapter_Mysql',
        'host'    => 'localhost',
        'user'    => 'root',
        'pass'    => 'mypass',
        'name'    => 'mydb'
    );
   
    $sql = Solar::factory('Solar_Sql', $config['Solar_Sql']);
    $config['Solar_Sql'] = array(
        'sql'           => $sql,
        'adapter'       => 'Solar_Auth_Adapter_Sql',
        'table'         => 'users',
        'handle_col'    => 'username',
        'passwd_col'    => 'password',
        'uid_col'       => 'id',
        'process_login' => 'submit login'           
    );
    ...

My Login.php is looks like:

    $sql = solar::factory('solar_sql');
    $sql->_config['adapter'] = 'Solar_Auth_Adapter_Sql';          
    $auth = Solar::factory('Solar_Auth', $sql->_config);
    $auth->start();
    ....

In the config file, having "'adapter'=>'Solar_Auth_Adapter_Sql'" or 
"'adapter'=>'Solar_Sql_Adapter_Mysql'" makes no difference, they could 
just as easily be deleted. I need to set them in the Login.php script or 
the example I'm working with in Index.php, which looks like this:

    $sql = solar::factory('solar_sql');
    $sql->_config['adapter'] = 'Solar_Sql_Adapter_Mysql';
    $select = Solar::factory('Solar_Sql_Select', $sql->_config);
    $select->from('users',array('*'));
    ....

All this works, and checking the authorization as you mentioned works 
too. Is setting $sql->_config['adapter'] the way I do a good idea? It 
seems like a hack for me to do it this way.

Thanks!
