Usr module

Usr module is inspired by the popular Yii-user module but written from scratch. It provides basic user actions like:

It's goal is to be easier to integrate into current projects by not requiring to modify existing user database table and model. Only the UserIdentity class is used to provide all business logic by implementing few provided interfaces.

Key differences from yii-user:

Installation

Using composer:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
./composer.phar require nineinchnick/yii-usr:dev-master

Download and unpack in protected/modules.

Enable the module in the config/main.php file:

return array(
    ......
    'modules'=>array(
        'usr'=>array(
               'userIdentityClass' => 'UserIdentity',
        ),
    ),
)

See UsrModule.php file for full options reference.

To be able to use user managment, create auth items using the createAuthItems command and assign them to a role or users.

Fast setup and/or new projects

This assumes there are no user tables in the database and all features can be enabled.

Custom setup and/or existing projects

If the module will be used with existing database tables and/or not all features will be used the identity class should be copied and adjusted or reimplemented from scratch.

Requirements for the UserIdentity class are described in next chapter.

Identity interfaces

To be able to use all features of the Usr module, the UserIdentity class must implement some or all of the following interfaces.

For details, please read comments in each identity file or see the provided ExampleUserIdentity file.

Editable

This interface allows to create new identities (register) and update existing ones.

Active/disabled and email verification

This interface allows:

Remember to invalidate the email if it changes in the save() method from the Editable interface.

Password history

This interface allows password reset with optional tracking of used passwords. This allows to detect expired passwords and avoid reusing old passwords by users.

See the ExpiredPasswordBehavior description below.

Hybridauth

This interface allows finding local identity associated with a remote one (from an external social site) and creating such associations.

One Time Password

This interface allow saving and retrieving a secret used to generate one time passwords. Also, last used password and counter used to generate last password are saved and retrieve to protect against reply attacks.

See the OneTimePasswordFormBehavior description below.

Profile Pictures

Allows users to upload a profile picture. The example identity uses Gravatar to provide a default picture.

Managable

Allows to manage users:

Custom login behaviors

The login action can be extended by attaching custom behaviors to the LoginForm. This is done by configuring the UsrModule.loginFormBehaviors property.

There are two such behaviors provided by yii-usr module:

ExpiredPasswordBehavior

Validates if current password has expired and forces the users to change it before logging in.

Options:

OneTimePasswordFormBehavior

Two step authentication using one time passwords.

Options:

Example usage

'loginFormBehaviors' => array(
    'expiredPasswordBehavior' => array(
        'class' => 'ExpiredPasswordBehavior',
        'passwordTimeout' => 10,
    ),
    'oneTimePasswordBehavior' => array(
        'class' => 'OneTimePasswordFormBehavior',
        'mode' => OneTimePasswordFormBehavior::OTP_TIME,
        'required' => true,
        'timeout' => 123,
    ),
    // ... other behaviors
),

User model example

A sample ExampleUserIdentity and corresponding ExampleUser and ExampleUserUsedPassword models along with database migrations are provided respectively in the 'components', 'models' and 'migrations' folders.

They could be used as-is by extending from or copying to be modified to better suit a project.

To use the provided migrations it's best to copy them to your migrations directory and adjust the filenames and classnames to current date and time. Also, they could be modified to remove not needed features.

Diceware aka password generator

A simple implementation of a Diceware Passphrase generator is provided to aid users when they need to create a good, long but also easy to remember passphrase.

Read more at the Diceware Passphrase homepage.

Customize

Custom profile fields

It is possible to add more profile fields:

The behavior will include properties, rules and labels. Rules can contain inline validators defined in that behavior, just call them using the behaviorValidator helper method:

   // BEHAVIOR_NAME is the key used in UsrModule::profileFormBehaviors
   // INLINE_VALIDATOR is the name of the inline validator method defined in the behavior
   array('attribute', 'behaviorValidator', 'behavior'=>'BEHAVIOR_NAME', 'validator'=>'INLINE_VALIDATOR', /* other params */),

Email templates

Set the setPathViews and setPathLayouts keys under the mailerConfig module option.

Translations

Feel free to send new and updated translations to the author.

Usage scenarios

Various scenarios can be created by enabling or disabling following features:

Implementing those scenarios require some logic outside the scope of this module.

Public site

Users can register by themselves. Their accounts are activated instantly or after verifying email.

Moderated site

Users can register, but to allow them to log in an administrator must activate their accounts manually, optionally assigning an authorization profile. Email verification is optional and activation could trigger an email notification.

Configuration for Twitter Bootstrap

If using the bootstrap extension, the following configuration may be used:

'usr' => array(
        'layout' => '//layouts/centered',
        'formClass'=>'bootstrap.widgets.TbActiveForm',
        'detailViewClass'=>'bootstrap.widgets.TbDetailView',
        'formCssClass'=>'form well',
        'alertCssClassPrefix'=>'alert alert-',
        'submitButtonCssClass'=>'btn btn-primary',
        'htmlCss' => array(
            'errorSummaryCss' => 'alert alert-error',
            'errorMessageCss' => 'text-error',
        ),
        // mail
        ...mail config...
    ),

Besides that, all views could be overriden in a theme. A following skin can be used for user managment grid:

<?php
return array(
    'default' => array(
        'itemsCssClass' => 'table table-striped table-bordered table-condensed',
        'pagerCssClass' => 'paging_bootstrap pagination',
    ),
);
