There are a couple of examples online about how to write plugins implementing authentication in Zend Framework 2, but no clear information on how to use them in an application. Does anyone have a working (complete) ZF2 app that implements a simple login screen?
Check this out:
http://blog.evan.pro/getting-started-with-the-zf2-skeleton-and-zfcuser
it's a good example of how to get the standard skeleton application to work with the zfcUser module to provide exactly what you need.
I think this will be helpful:

http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/modules/zend.authentication.intro.html
Start with that....i was sailing in the same boat as you were when i started off.. I did not use zfcuser as i thought it was complicated for me to use in the small amount of time i had. But its the best way of doing it.
Check the wiki page for zfc user as well.
But you can do things really simple with zf2 authentication rather than writing your own module for it.

This feels like a silly question only because I feel like it should be obvious or easy to find, yet I've looked everywhere. Laravel has a beautifully simply way of creating user registration,login,password resets, etc. with a simple php artisan make:auth command. It seems like there's got to be a really simple way to setup User and Role management as well. Isn't this just as common a need as Registration and Login? I've looked what seems like everywhere and I've seen posts that elude to it but haven't found anything on how to add it. I really don't want to reinvent this wheel if Laravel has already made it simple. I've played that game enough times already. Thanks in advance.
it is easy (many articles and youtube videos on how to do that), but not as simple as making the user management system. there is no artisan command to do it for you. so you gonna have to reinvent that wheel
unless you want to use a third party code.

Take a look at what is available in Spark and you will see that the guys at laravel have done this, however it is not in there interest to make it that easy in the basic laravel framework.

If you are willing to shell out $99 you can get your auth and a bunch of other features.
This question has been bugging me for quite some time now, I want to create a cms, a School Mnagement System to be more specific, and what matters to me the most, is making this system plugin based, in a way that administrators can download and install plugins right through their admin panel, just like wordpress.
Now I've read about wordpress Hooks, Actions and Filters, and in all honesty i can say i'm just a little familiar with their functionality, but to apply same functionality to a Laravel App... , It's a bit hard to figure out, at least for me.
I've also searched about this question and found out that almost everyone is suggesting packages, But while packages can work great for other developers wanting to get use of the package's functionality, they can't be easily installed by a user not familiar with any programming language, And that's exactly what i want in my application.
Now what i have in my mind so far, as in Wordpress Actions and Filters, almost everything one would want to use in Wordpress theme files ( to make that piece of code flexible for adding plugin functionality ) should be called as functions, and calling that function by Wordpress do_action() is kind of a must-take path, which of course makes sense.
This way plugin developers can just call add_action() / add_filter() in their files and put their plugins into the flow of the application.
So...
Basically what I'm asking here is:
How to apply such functionality to a laravel app?
Is there an easier way than calling everything by a function like do_action()?
Should i write some kind of a file management module for downloading and updating plugins?
Again I must say that I am not very familiar with wordpress ways to achieve this kind of functionality, So I may be wrong about some of the description I mentioned above, But please, I appreciate any clarification around this subject if you can.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
*P.S. I've tried to be as clear as I possibly can about the problem, And I'm not looking for any specific method for the system I`m developing.
What i want is to know Common / Best methods ( If there is a best method ) for achieving such functionality, preferably in Laravel, but a general algorithm would still be very appreciated.
I know lots of people have the same question and are tackling with the same issue, so if you even only provide a link to a useful article it would be great.*
I have been working as a Wordpress Developer for a very long time and I also have sufficient experience in Laravel... and to be honest, making this kind of functionality is not that difficult at all.
How?
First of all, you must understand that the web app that you will be making will have all the functionalities, but they can only be enabled/disabled from the front-end (Admin Panel/Dashboard). In other words, your School Management System app is actually having all the features/functionalities pre-installed, but you are just allowing the users to enable/disable it. This is much simpler.
So, if for eg. you want to provide someone attendance management functionality, you will have to give the admin of the site, the access to enable/disable it.
Why?
Wordpress has a built-in UI for adding/updating plugins. But in Laravel, everything is code based and therefore this I believe is the simplest way to go (especially for making things in your app pluggable).
Steps
Make a site with UI etc...
Create a config and migration file which will have the names of all the plugins you are going to allow the user to enable/disable.
Make a sync command that will sync all the plugins in your app.
Use it render a page from the front-end and manage their status from the back-end (is_active etc etc...)
Now once, these plugins are active, make sure the user (say moderator, editor) has access to manage them, for which you will obviously have to create roles/permissions and use Laravel Policies for such stuff.
Lastly, only the admin will have the enabling/disabling writes and no one else.
For the other part where you want the people to perform their own functions with filters/actions. I'd say this is completely contradictory to the part where you say Installing Laravel Packages isn't easy. Well, if you would really want a developer a way into this, why not straight away ask them to make a package for your app alone? Hmmmm.... Think about it :)
But, even then, if you would like to create such a functionality, create a simple class which the user can call and user its functions to call their own functions... Something like -> SMSPlugin::do_action(). But then again, making things like updating/deleting the plugin will require you to build your own Plugin Store and ask users to upload to it. Then you'll have to make an API to constantly check for updates for all the installed plugins and blah blah.... It's a really long procedure... And I don't believe that feasible too!
Hope I answered everything. Let me know in the comments if you have any doubts :)
I know it was 2 years ago, but for now you can achieve this with laravel with some packages:
So i think the steps will be:
Create new Laravel App and add some packages for BASIC admin UI and things you will need like:
Authentication (https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/authentication)
Roles and Permissions (https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission)
Users managment
Modules (https://nwidart.com/laravel-modules/v4/introduction)
At this point you must configure and write a UI for manage every thing from every package mentioned.
So i think this is the way or at least some try to do it in 2019 :D
Happy new year to all!
There's a package for this, it supports version 5, didn't test yet with 6:

I have a client with a content-heavy site built in CMS Made Simple. The redesign requires a mostly AJAX interface, and I think a frontend framework like Backbone or Angular would be the way to go.
I want to avoid moving off CMS Made Simple, though (client is used to that interface, it will be annoying to migrate all the data).
I think if I could find or create a RESTful api for CMS Made Simple, I'd solve my problem. But after searching around online, I only found CGSocialApp module, which seems to provide a limited API for things like user management. I've also looked into other AJAX solutions for CMS Made Simple, and there don't seem to be good modules for it.
If there is no ready-made solution for me, how complex would building a RESTful API module be? I haven't built a RESTFUL api in a PHP framework before.
Thanks for any guidance!
So, there is no easy answer for this question, as the CMSMS doesn't have a build-in RESTful API.
I would go for one of the two solutions:
1. Output the content as hand made json.
In CMSMS, you really have a lot of control on the templates. You could change the default templates to output json content instead of HTML content. The only issue is that the CMSMS will still send an http content-type header, that you can try to ignore in the JS part.
To access the menu, just remove it from the main template and create an empty page who output the {menu}with a custom template that also build json content.
That's the quick and dirty solution, but it should be very accessible in terms of doing it.
2. Create a dedicated module.
As far as I know, there are no modules that expose the CMSMS in RESTFul format, but a module is really very easy to build. Well, you can try to build it yourself, with the help of the community. It don't really solve the current problem, but it's a hint.
I hope it shed some light on the problem.
I have the following situation. I'm building a completely new joomla site and community from scratch. The client wants to use community builder for user management, mainly because kunena and in the future jomsocial will be added. Logically, I want al those parts to be connected, and to be maintainable in an easy way.
I wan't to create a class that handles the login information from my own form, preferable using ajax. Unfortunately, I can't find the slightest heads up on how to do that, while it seems to me that, that shouldn't be to hard, right?
Hope someone knows the trick!
Had a little look on Google and found this Login module that supports Community Builder and uses Ajax technologies:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/authentication/20452
This module is however commercial. I give feedback on this, but I have never used it before. However, I think the ratings and reviews speak for themselves.
I'm not sure why you want to use your own form for the login module as Community Builder allows you to add your own field and so on.
Hope this helps
I'm starting a new project with codeigniter, and I'd like to start on a system that's already built so I can reduce the time of development.
Is there a good system that handles user authentication along with an admin interface to manage users that can be easily expanded to a web-app?
If this is too vague, I can expand
This thread here appears to have some answers
But the question was more about libraries. Either way, implementing some of the things on that thread would save you time.
You're looking for is a Content Management System (CMS).
There are a few ones out there that use Codeigniter as a framework for their CMS.
Edit: Even if you can't find a boilerplate CMS that you like, you can google about CMS's to design a simple one of your own as there's LOTS of tutorials and information about requirements and such when you know the term CMS.
I recommend Redux Auth for CodeIgniter. It comes with an example implementation, and can easily be used to manage user authentication for your CodeIgniter site. I just implemented Beta2 with the latest version of CodeIgniter, so while it's not actively updated, it still works with the latest build.
I'm using Bonfire as default admin interface.
I've just started looking into Bonfire:
Bonfire helps you build CodeIgniter-based PHP web applications even faster, by providing powerful tools and a beautiful interface you won't be ashamed to show your client.
Ready to customize Admin Interface.
User Management with Role-Based Access Control.
Fully Modular codebase.
Built around HMVC.
Database backup, migration, and maintenance.
Powerful, parent/child capable theme engine.
Simple Email Queue to keep your ISP happy.
UI-based module builder.
Looks good at first glance!
