Extending Login - User

Permalink
I am looking at rewriting my website and would love to start out with 5.7. I am currently using 5.5 and started my new development on 5.6. I have extended the User model so that when a user is logged on it saves a cookie to the database

/concrete/core/models/user

CheckLogin
//Next Lines are for inserting SQL
                                        $cookieID=$_COOKIE['CONCRETE5'];
                                        $userID=$this->getUserID();
                                        $q1 = "INSERT INTO ci_cookie (id, uID) VALUES ('$cookieID', '$userID')";
                                        $db->query($q1);


I have copied Core/Models/User

to /Models and extended it using..

<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
        class User extends Concrete5_Model_User {


I am then using Codeigniter on the other side to grab the uID and do somethings there.

Is there an easy way to do similar in 5.7 or should I just keep going with 5.6.

5.7 has support for manipulating sessions and cookies built in. You can basically just override the class and it will takeover everything, its a really simple API.

Thank you for the quick response .. and any additional help is appreciated. Here is what I think I understand but I don't know if I am looking in the right place or if there is just inconsistencies in what I am reading.

1. I have copied /concrete/src/cookie/cookie.php to /application/bootstratp/src/my/cookie/cookie.php

2. I have gone into /application/bootstrap/app.php and added

Core::bind('\Concrete\src\Cookie\Cookie'){
    return new \Application\bootstrap\Src\My\Cookie\Cookie
});


which I know is wrong!

3. Then in my new copied Cookie.php I have changed to 

<?php
namespace Application\bootstrap\src\My\Cookie\Cookie;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Cookie as CookieObject;
use Request;
class Cookie extends \Concrete\src\Cookie\Cookie
{ .....


Things are broken at the app.php for sure but I am not sure about the other code either.

Just by glancing at this, instead of 'src', try using 'Core'

Do I have to do anything in app.php to use the override.

After further review here is what I have but it is not working. Concrete is not using my Cookie.php

1. Copied /concrete/src/Cookie/Cookie.php to /application/bootstrap/src/my/cookie

2. In /application/bootstrap I have modified app.php to read

Core::bind('\Concrete\Core\Cookie\Cookie',function(){
    return new \Application\bootstrap\Src\My\Cookie\Cookie();
});


3. In my Cookie.php have modified to 

<?php
namespace Application\bootstrap\src\My\Cookie\Cookie;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Cookie as CookieObject;
use Request;
class Cookie extends \Concrete\Core\Cookie\Cookie { ....


When the cookie is created I have added my code to write the cookie to the database but it is not working.
