Laravel 4: how to make confirmation email?
Here are a few clues (not gonna write the code for you).
- Add two fields to your user table:
confirmation,confirmed. - Create a route in Laravel like
registration/verify/{confirmation}, in which you try and find a user in your DB with the given confirmation code (if found, set user'sconfirmedfield to 1). - Upon user registration, generate a unique confirmation code (you can use the
str_random()helper function for this). - Set DB entry of new user accordingly (
confirmation= the random code,confirmed= 0) - Include a verification link (built according to your verification route) with the generated confirmation code in your email to your new user.
Auth attempts can now be done like this:
$user = array( 'username' => Input::get('username'), 'password' => Input::get('password'), 'confirmed' => 1);if (Auth::attempt($user)) { // success! return Redirect::route('restricted/area');}
