Re: Auth, login, own validation of password

Make a new action in the controller, call it "customLogin" or whatever
you want, and in there call the function in the model (below), which
would return true/false, and if(true){ do this } else { do this }

For the model:
Make a new function to be called in the controller, use $this-
>field(Tablename.fieldname) to get the individual values from the
table, use if/else to compare 'em, returning either true or false.

Hope that helps.
