Username instead? about wordpress-auth-driver-laravel HOT 6 CLOSED

If I read it correctly, its Wordpress Auth integration into LARAVEL project, not the other way round.

@ahsankhatri it is use the wordpress auth information (its pulling that data from the WP database) to allow you to use that same auth information to login to your laravel project. I just find it odd that it only pulls the email/password and forces you to use the email address in WP versus the actual username in WP that it could easily use instead. Get what I mean?

You can pass your field name as key in input array, So if you want to authenticate via username and password use following procedure:

Auth::guard('wordpress')->attempt([
    'user_login' => 'johnny',
    'user_pass' => 'quickbrownfox'
]);

Ah, i see where the confusion is. I setup the guard as the default in auth.php so i can use it to simply work as the general auth system for the laravel project. So in config/auth.php, i have:

    'defaults' => [
        'guard' => 'wordpress',
        'passwords' => 'wordpress',
    ],

and then in a route, im using:

Route::get('/sync_series', 'SyncController@sync_series')->middleware('auth');

Alright, for that you first need to publish config file via:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MrShan0\WordpressAuth\WordpressAuthServiceProvider"

And make changes in config/wordpress-auth.php wtih email_column to user_login

'email_column' => 'user_login',

Most importantly, make sure you've used <input name="email"> in your login page, that will override authentication criteria with user_login as specified in auth file. Because Laravel uses default field email for authentication.
