Cakephp 2.0 Email Authentication Instead of Username

Question

In my opinion, I have:

<?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array("controller" => "Users", "action" => "login", "method" => "post")); echo $this->Form->input('User.email', array("label" => false)); echo $this->Form->input('User.password', array("label" => false, 'class' => 'password-input')); echo $this->Form->end(); ?> 

In my AppController:

 public $components = array( 'Session', 'Auth' ); function beforeFilter(){ $this->Auth->fields = array( 'username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password' ); } 

In my UserController:

 function beforeFilter(){ $this->Auth->allow('sign_up', 'login', 'logout', 'forgot_password'); return parent::beforeFilter(); } public function login() { if ($this->Auth->login()) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('Successfully logged in'), 'default', array('class' => 'success')); $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect()); } else { if (!empty($this->request->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('Username or password is incorrect'), 'default', array('class' => 'notice')); } } } 

But the login does not work, what am I missing?

Thanks.

I believe the problem is this:

 function beforeFilter(){ $this->Auth->fields = array( 'username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password' ); } 

Thus, CakePHP 1.3 specified user login fields. CakePHP 2.0 instead requires you to specify these fields in public $components = array(...); . The 1.3 API shows that Auth has the $ fields property, but the 2.0 API shows that the $ fields property no longer exists. Therefore, you must:

 public $components = array( 'Session', 'Auth' => array( 'authenticate' => array( 'Form' => array( 'fields' => array('username' => 'email') ) ) ) ); 

Further information can be found at: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/components/authentication.html#configuring-authentication-handlers

Please tell me how it works!

The final solution for my problem. Thanks.

I am having a problem with userModel and I am writing this:

 'Auth' => array( 'userModel' => 'Member' ) 

instead of this:

 'Auth' => array( 'authenticate' => array( 'Form' => array( 'userModel' => 'Member' ) ) )
