Smarty login system/user system

[paulka007]

Has any one had any experience with implementing a login system. It should be easy i've got the most part done, it just doesn't want to work quit rite I have most of the rest of the system in place and am working to get a new design, so its all kind of waiting for this user system to get sorted.

Its for a project I am keeping under wraps until its major unveiling so if you'd like to help PM me and I can arrange something for you

regards,

Zikula and TikiWiki are both built with Smarty ... why re-invent the wheel? Download, install and you got what you need plus more ...

Its not a SMARTY issue as SMARTY just your templating engine. You need to look at user sessions instead. This is why I choose Symfony as my framework for developing security applications.

@apogeeza thanks but my application is pretty specific, not a normal CMS.
@cbrunsdonza, I'm actually heavily modding an existing application for my (evil?) purpose so as far as I'm aware i cant start using a (new) framework.

Ah the dreaded inherited code dilemma ...
The last code I wrote with user management, I just put the session checker into the header. Made sure that it was always the first function call to make sure user had the correct privileges. This is what most frameworks do.

The only real advice I can give is you need to develop this with UNIT and WEB FUNCTION tests to detect any exploits in your code.
