Re: Using Auth WIth Another Table instead of Users

I know you dont want to hear this, but ...

I would really reccomend going back to using a user table. That's
where you store the username, passwoprd, email, user_group_id,
visit_count, last_visit_id etc. (i.e. the fields that define a User
object)

I would then create a hasOne <-> belongsTo relationship to your
Artiste model where you store all the other fields you need to define
an Artiste object

Et Voila!

HTH, Paul.
