Installation

Extract the content of the downloaded archive.

Copy the jcommunity directory in a module repository of your application (in yourapp/modules for example).

In the configuration of the application (or precisely, the configuration of the index entry point), activate the auth plugin for the coordinator:

    [coordplugins]
    auth = auth.coord.ini.php

Copy the lib/jelix/plugins/coord/auth/auth.coord.ini.php.dist into the file var/config/auth.coord.ini.php

You should change at least this values in this file:

    driver = Db
    on_error_action = "jcommunity~login:out"
    bad_ip_action = "jcommunity~login:out"
    
    [Db]
    ; name of the dao to get user datas
    dao = "jcommunity~user"

Setup other values as indicated in the documentation of this plugin.

In your application, you should not use anything from the jauth module, but only from jcommunity, since it provides all needed things, with some different behaviors.

migrating from version 0.1

Execute this SQL script on your mysql database :

ALTER TABLE `community_users` DROP PRIMARY KEY ;
ALTER TABLE `community_users` ADD `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST ;
ALTER TABLE `community_users` DROP PRIMARY KEY , ADD UNIQUE (`id`);
ALTER TABLE `community_users` ADD PRIMARY KEY ( `login` );  

The goal is to create a new auto increment field, "id". It is not the primary key, but has a "unique" index.
