Greetings,
I'm somewhat new to the CodeIgniter community, but it's my future! And Grocery CRUD is the best I've seen for CRUD operations!

Authentication seems to go hand in hand with CRUD. But authentication is one area of CodeIgniter I'm still not clear about. I'm researching DX_Auth, Tank Auth, and Adam Griffith's AG_Auth.

Which authentication system do you suggest we use along with Grocery CRUD?

Thanks for this terrific application! I'm looking forward to being part of the CodeIgniter & Grocery CRUD community.

Actually you can use whatever authorization tool you like to work with grocery crud . I've heard IonAuth is a very good authorization library and has everything, from simple users to groups, etc etc I think this is the top authorization library for codeigniter. It has a good documentation too. You can also create your own authentication library if you want.

web-johnny,
Thanks for the quick response.

Regarding Ion: I was looking at GitHub, and the link to the Ion site there is broken. There is also a bit of confusion about where to get the latest code.

Looks like the full documentation is here:
http://benedmunds.com/ion_auth/

Now that I found the documentation it looks great!

Thanks again,
Matthew

I would suggest IonAuth too

Greetings zuratharamon,
Thanks for voicing your opinion! I'm making the transition from using Joomla for my sites, but I'm quickly getting into CodeIgniter.

As a newcomer, I'm getting a feel for the applications people use to achieve their goals. I'm very open to hearing opinions.

Thanks again,
Matthew

PS: I just realized I mistakenly titled my discussion "Authorization" instead of "Authentication."

Heres the GitHub ion Auth https://github.com/benedmunds/CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth/

fantas,
Thanks for posting the link. It looks like IonAuth is the way to go. I also learned that Ion is integrated into PyroCMS. That tells me it's got to be goodi!

I'm still getting fully up to speed with CodeIgniter and Grocery CRUD. But so far, I am so happy about the framework, the great developers like web-johnny, and the friendly community.

Thanks again.
Matthew
