I am using Cakephp 3 for building new application where user have to login for their account however I am hitting the login URL http://localserver.com/members/login and it redirects me to http://localserver.com/users/login
Look like the 'users' controller is set by default in Auth component. How can I override the default controller from 'users' to 'members'?
NOTE: The URLs are not LIVE as I am working on my local-server.
Yes, this is related to the userModel config key, which defaults to Users.
Try this script in your controller’s beforeFilter() or initialize() methods.
// Pass settings in
$this->Auth->config('authenticate', [
'Basic' => ['userModel' => 'Members'],
'Form' => ['userModel' => 'Members']
]);
Update:
In addition to userModel
to be worked properly you must set the loginAction
too.
// Pass settings in
$this->Auth->config('authenticate', [
'loginAction' => [
'controller' => 'Members',
'action' => 'login',
'plugin' => false, // or 'Members' if plugin
],
'Basic' => ['userModel' => 'Members'],
'Form' => ['userModel' => 'Members']
]);
