Hey,

 

I have just started to use my first php framework. Previously, i wrote everything from scratch.

I have been recommended to use Lithium. I learn better when diving in the deep end and so far, it has been.. somewhat fruitful yet frustrating.

 

I have managed to add a login/logout script with a private page. No worries.

 

Thing is, documentation is thin.

 

I know this is probably going to be the most basic of tasks (Doing it without a framework is easy).

 

But i need to find out how to create session based links. (IE: LOGIN/LOGOUT on the conditions that the user is logged in or logged out obviously).

 

Any help is much appreciated!

 

 

Solved, for future ref, heres how i did it.

In Layouts default.html.php:

 

<?php if($this->user->connected()){
				echo '<a href="/lithium/lithgit/logout">Logout</a>';
				}
				else {
					echo '<a href="/lithium/lithgit/login">Login</a>'; 
				}
				?>

And then created a Helper called user.php and added the following:

 

<?php
namespace app\extensions\helper;
use lithium\security\Auth;
 
class User extends \lithium\template\helper {
public function connected() {
return Auth::check('default', $this->_context->_config['request']);
}
}

 

 

Thanks guys.

I checked out Laravel 4. Completely agree with the documentation. Lithium lacks detailed documentation. To be honest, i found CakePHP to be pretty much the same framework as Lithium and much better documented so i have now moved over to CakePHP.

 

Thank you for the heads up though!
