Cakephp 3.0 Login - cakephp

Question

I'm facing trouble with my login system. I managed to register my user in my database but whenever I try to log in, it keeps prompting "Invalid email or password, try again".
This is my model:
<?php
namespace App\Model\Table;
use Cake\ORM\Table;
use Cake\Validation\Validator;
class UsersTable extends Table
{
public function validationDefault(Validator $validator)
{
return $validator
->notEmpty('email', 'A email is required')
->add('email', 'valid' , ['rule'=> 'email'])
->add('email', [
'unique' => ['rule' => 'validateUnique', 'provider' => 'table']
])
->requirePresence('email','create')
->notEmpty('password', 'A password is required')
->notEmpty('role', 'A role is required')
->add('role', 'inList', [
'rule' => ['inList', ['admin', 'author']],
'message' => 'Please enter a valid role'
]);
}
}
My controller:
<?php
namespace App\Controller;
use App\Controller\AppController;
use Cake\Event\Event;
use Cake\Network\Exception\NotFoundException;
class UsersController extends AppController
{
public function beforeFilter(Event $event)
{
parent::beforeFilter($event);
$this->Auth->allow(['add', 'logout']);
}
public function login()
{
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$user = $this->Auth->identify();
if ($user) {
$this->Auth->setUser($user);
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl());
}
$this->Flash->error(__('Invalid email or password, try again'));
}
}
public function logout()
{
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
public function index()
{
$this->set('users', $this->Users->find('all'));
}
public function view($id)
{
if (!$id) {
throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid user'));
}
$user = $this->Users->get($id);
$this->set(compact('user'));
}
public function add()
{
$user = $this->Users->newEntity();
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user, $this->request->data);
if ($this->Users->save($user)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('The user has been saved.'));
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'add']);
}
$this->Flash->error(__('Email already existed.'));
}
$this->set('user', $user);
}
}
AppController:
<?php
namespace App\Controller;
use Cake\Controller\Controller;
use Cake\Event\Event;
class AppController extends Controller
{
public function initialize()
{
$this->loadComponent('Flash');
$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
'authorize' => ['Controller'],
'loginRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Articles',
'action' => 'index'
],
'logoutRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Pages',
'action' => 'display',
'home'
]
]);
}
public function isAuthorized($user)
{
if (isset($user['role']) && $user['role'] === 'admin') {
return true;
}
return false;
}
public function beforeFilter(Event $event)
{
$this->Auth->allow(['index', 'view', 'display']);
}
}
login.ctp
<div class="users form">
<?= $this->Flash->render('auth') ?>
<?= $this->Form->create() ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?= __('Please enter your username and password') ?></legend>
<?= $this->Form->input('email') ?>
<?= $this->Form->input('password') ?>
</fieldset>
<?= $this->Form->button(__('Login')); ?>
<?= $this->Form->end() ?>
</div>

Answer 1

I think the problem comes from the AppController
Have a quick look at this : CookBook CakePHP 3.0 Example Bookmarker Part 1
The login part is here : CookBook CakePHP 3.0 Example Bookmarker Part 2
Find the similarities with your project, try to make an analogy, a relation.

Answer 2

Thanks guys! Managed to find the answer after referring to the tutorials. Turns out i miss out
'authenticate' => [
'Form' => [
'fields' => [
'username' => 'email',
'password' => 'password'
All good now! Cheers =)
