Admin Panel with Login in CodeIgniter

24.8.2013

[dfads params=’groups=-1′]

Today, I came up with a solution for how to make an inbuilt Admin Panel with already coded Login module in codeigniter. Just follow the steps below to setup into your project.

1. Download the adminPanelWithLogin.zip file. Extract it. Copy the respective admin folders to the Controllers, Models, & Views of your project.

2. Create the MySQL table & populate data.

[sql]
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tbl_admin` (
`admin_id` int(4) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`admin_name` varchar(128) NOT NULL,
`admin_email` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`admin_password` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`admin_role` int(2) NOT NULL,
`admin_status` int(1) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`admin_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=14 ;

INSERT INTO `tbl_admin` (`admin_id`, `admin_name`, `admin_email`, `admin_password`, `admin_role`, `admin_status`) VALUES
(1, ‘admin’, ‘admin’, ‘admin_123’, 1, 0),
(13, ‘super’, ‘super’, ‘super_123’, 1, 1);
[/sql]

3. Check whether the database & session are initiated by exploring to application/config/autoload.php file.

[php]$autoload[‘libraries’] = array(‘database’, ‘session’); [/php]

4. Browse the admin login from you browser: http://localhost/your_project/admin. A screen must appear like this:

5. Use the default admin user as “admin ” and Password as “admin_123” then press Login. You will be redirected to a secure home page like this:

You can further add modules of your choice & code your project as you like.

Feedbacks & suggestions are always welcome.

  Deaer Adi, You might have been missing the clean URL part. So, please try this link to access the admin page: http://localhost/your_project/index.php/admin.
  Hope this may work.

In order to use the Session class you are required to set an encryption key in your config file.

  Yes Val, Its for your convinience. Its a better option if you use an encryption key.

  1. Locate the file config.php in /application/config/ directory

Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious
if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?

I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any support is very much appreciated.

David,
You have to define the value of your $data, then pass it like this: $this->viewForm($data);

Reply
Francois

2014.08.02

David you can define your data value using
$data = “”;
if($this->session->userdata(‘xxxxxxxxx’)){
$query = $this->session->all_userdata();
$data[‘yyy’] = $query[‘xxxxx’];
$data[‘yyy’] = $query[‘xxxxx’];
$data[‘yyy’] = $query[‘xxxxx’];
}
$this->viewForm($data);

Please replace the xxx and yyy with name define in your code. It works for me.

Hello,

I downloaded the files and placed them on the specified locations. I used the RewriteRule provided by you earlier in this topic. I used “$route[‘admin/(:any)’] = “admin/$1″;” in routes.php, but still when I try to open the admin it gives me 404 error. Please let me know where I am lacking…?

Hi,

I cracked my last step. But now I stuck in next hurdle. When I input the login credentials (admin, admin_123) in Login Area.
When I hit the login Button it remains on the same Login Window Page with redirected url in the bar to “admin/home” and it gives me the error msg: “Invalid username and/or password”.

I would req. you to provide the solution ASAP.

Dear Admin,

Please suggest the solution to my above mentioned query.

public function process(){
// Load the model
//$this->load->model(‘login_model’);
$this->load->model(‘admin/admin_model’);
// Validate the user can login
$result = $this->admin_model->validate();
// Now we verify the result
if(! $result){
// If user did not validate, then show them login page again
$msg = ‘Invalid username and/or password.’;
$this->index($msg);
}else{
echo “Loading…”;
// If user did validate,
// Send them to members area
redirect(base_url().’index.php/admin/home/’);

}
}

Both the conditions (If, else) are working from this code. I am using user as “admin ” and Password as “admin_123″

  Please check what $result is printing using print_r. I am not sure what mistake you are making at your code. You can debug the code instead. You are very near to your goal.

    I tried using Print_r. Validation process is working fine. However I haven’t changed the code it’s same as I downloaded from here.
    
    Here both If and else condition is working like when I input user as “admin ” and Password as “admin_123″, it redirects to home in URL but it remains on the same page (login), as well it prints the message “Invalid username and/or password”.

        where should i use the redirect function. I tried it at different locations but didn’t get the success.
        
        In my last post I provided the code of process() here I am not getting it how both the conditions are working.
