Hoping someone can lend me a hand. I've been trying to piece together info from these forums on how to extend the SimpleAuth driver, as I am wanting to extend SimpleAuth to allow for additional fields to be included when creating/updating a user.
Here is what I have done so far (which may or may not be correct!):
1. Made a new file at app/classes/auth/login/myauth.php, which contains the following:
<code>
class Auth_Login_MyAuth extends Auth\Auth_Login_SimpleAuth
{
}
</code>
2. Copied auth.php and simpleauth.php from 'packages/auth/config/' to 'app/config/'
3. In app/config/auth.php changed 'driver' => 'SimpleAuth' to 'driver' => array('SimpleAuth', 'MyAuth')
4. Copied the create_user() method from SimpleAuth to myauth.php (from step 1):
<code>
class Auth_Login_MyAuth extends Auth\Auth_Login_SimpleAuth
{
public function create_user(...)
{
...
}
}
</code>
Now when I have the standard create_user parameters (copied from SimpleAuth) the page loads fine, but if I add an extra parameter (e.g. $user_name) to be used later, I get the following error:
<code>
Runtime Notice!
ErrorException [ Runtime Notice ]: Declaration of Auth_Login_MyAuth::create_user() should be compatible with that of Auth\Auth_Login_SimpleAuth::create_user()
APPPATH/classes/auth/login/myauth.php @ line 269:
268: }
269: }
270:
</code>
Not sure where to go from here!
The notice is quite clear.
In PHP, you can not overload a class method with one that has a different argument list without getting this notice (if you have enabled E_STRICT error reporting).
Instead of extending the driver, maybe it's better to create a new driver, and use that?
