I don't see this to be an oil bug. The question is, why does Sentry's migrations require the package to be loaded? The answer is: it tries to load the sentry config file from the package. So, the bug is that the migration doesn't ensure that the package is loaded. This can be fixed by adding "\Package::load('sentry');" in the migrations file, in between the namespace definition and the class definition.

Hmm.. I'll have to add that in, didn't realize it worked that way. Always just did the always load. As to all the other issues, they should all be sorted out now.

Will Sentry 2 (with ACL?) be developed for FuelPHP too or just for Laravel?

Looks like there's a 2.0 dev version for Fuel:
https://github.com/cartalyst/sentry-fuel/tree/2.0/develop

Wanted to say thanks for this package. Makes all the registration process / login simple and secure. I do have one question. If I want to add some variables to the session created by Sentry, how do I grab the right instance. Basically when I log a user in I want to add some data to the cookie like a bool admin. What I'm doing now is just using the in_group method like so

                    $valid_login = Sentry::login($email, $password, true);

                    if ($valid_login) {


                        if (Sentry::user()->in_group(1)) { // or in_group('editors');
                            
                            Session::set('admin', true);
                        }

                        Response::redirect('home');
                        return true;
                    } else {

                        Session::set_flash('error', 'invalid email / password combo');
                        return false;
                    }

But when I do this it looks like the Session::set is just setting the default fuelcid session separate from the sentry session I also tried grabbing it like this

     
       $session = Session::instance('sentry_rm');

but that just returns a null value.

Note to everyone using sentry, the repo name has changed to sentry-fuel from sentry.

Thanks. Will Sentry 2 (with ACL?) be developed for FuelPHP too or just for Laravel?

I don't really like using levels, too many nasty experiences with it when your authorisation gets more complex. I now tend to use it as a boolean: 0 = user, 1 = administrator. As for roles, a role is just a name, so you could use groups for it. I've send a pull request a few days ago to support nested groups, allowing for a bit more flexibility.

I too use complex roles and cant seem to get my head around nested groups and there is nothing mentioned in the docs. WanWizard any chance you can give an example of how to use nested groups for roles. Thanks

Thanks WanWizard gives me a little more understanding. It doesn't really do roles (create, read, update, delete) its all based on the level. Might have a go at adding roles, by creating a Sentry_Role class to manage/checking the roles. Adding tables 'groups_roles' and 'roles' and 'groups_roles' will have columns group_id, role_id and 'roles' table will have columns id, name and role. The column role will be set as text to store serialized data of the role in same format as fuelphp's Auth package: $role = array(
'website' => array('create', 'update', 'delete'),
'admin' => array('create', 'read', 'update', 'delete'),
); $role = serialize($role); Prob start in next few weeks if I get round to it

We haven't put in role support yet, jut basic groups. It is planned for down the road though when we get a chance to start adding new features again. As to the nested groups, I don't think we've touched any of your code that you wrote for it WanWizard, I just added the column to migrations.

Thanks all Ill check up on it when I come to adding auth to my project. Great work so far...

I think something went wrong there, the parent should be a group id, so an int like the primary key. It's now defined as varchar(200)...

Ah, I'll get to fixing that

Yes, it looks an Auth package with real world functionality. Thank you.
I'll check the code, too.

Sentry 1.1 is now live along with a new dedicated site for Sentry and updated docs. Post: http://blog.cartalyst.com/2012/02/sentry-1-1-and-site-launched/
Site: http://sentry.cartalyst.com

thanks for your help dpetrie ^^, I used user_id instead of id on the other tables in my prj that's why

Thanks for the great package.
Been looking at the structure and how I could possibly build the groups and roles system.
I see there is 'level' for each group, but couldn't figure out yet what's the best way to implement roles through this.
Is there an example or a simple guide on how to implement it?
Thanks!

Thank you. I was thinking of making it like a bit field starting with least permission.
I have more than just user / admin
