I am using Codeigniter with the TankAuth library installed and trying to upload to index.php/requests/doUpload from swfupload but can't access the page as authenticated. I have read many posts around the net about similar problem and tried to set $config['sess_match_useragent'] = FALSE;
but still no difference. I have ended up skipping the login check in my controller for testing purposes. But now I need to access tankAuth library from my controller to get the current logged in user ID. It is requested in my application and cannot skip it, I really need to pass the logged in user id to that doUpload model. I have setup controller like this:
function doUploadFileFn() {
if (!$this->tank_auth->is_logged_in()) {
return;
} else {
$user_id = $this->tank_auth->get_user_id();
$this->load->model('requests/doUploadFile');
$this->doUploadFile->uploadData($user_id);
}
}
Now, it does not pass the is_logged_in() check, as I learned from other posts, CI deletes the session but I have setup the config not to match the user agent but still not working.
Is there any solution to this out there ?
Following the tutorial in the CI forums I was able to achieve what you are asking for.
1) Put this in the SWFUpload JS config:
post_params: {"<?php echo $this->config->item('sess_cookie_name'); ?>" :"<?php echo $this->session->get_cookie_data(); ?>"},
2) And place the MY_Session.php
file in your application/libraries/
folder.
3) The new library should be loaded the moment the view is loaded if not (for some reason) then load your library in the controller.
P.S: You need to set:
$config['sess_match_useragent'] = FALSE;
Otherwise a new session will be created for a useragent Shockwave Flash
EDIT: Okay, based on your comment..you really need to set your post_params
setting to your current session so it can be sent when the flash post
to your controller, now in your case the best thing I could think of is the below:
Your externalUntouchableJsFile.js:
// JS scripts...
...
var swfu = new SWFUpload({
...
...
post_params: GLOBAL_VAR,
...
});
...
// rest of your JS
And in your PHP view and before loading this JS file have something like:
<script>
var GLOBAL_VAR = {};
<?php if(session_is_there) { ?>
GLOBAL_VAR = {"<?php echo $this->config->item('sess_cookie_name'); ?>" :"<?php echo $this->session->get_cookie_data(); ?>"}
<?php } ?>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo base_url() ?>path/to/js/externalUntouchableJsFile.js"></script>
EDIT 2: Since you are using an external js file, you may forget to define the global variable so use:
post_params: (typeof GLOBAL_VAR === 'undefined') ? {}:GLOBAL_VAR,
