I have a custom table for users named 'iw_users' and inside, i have also a custom column for email and password named 'iu_email' and 'iu_password'. What i want to do here is to set my iu_email as the email and iu_password as a password on login, register, and forgot password (basically all functionalities that laravel Auth provides).
I have followed the answer on this thread: Laravel: How can i change the default Auth Password field name
But when i try to login (with correct credentials) the page is just refreshing and redirecting me again to log in page (I can confirm that laravel did not authorize me using Auth::check()).
Also, the color of the error and input are not red whenever i try to login with wrong credentials.
This is my App\User code:
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
protected $table = 'iw_users';
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'iu_user_id', 'iu_last_name', 'iu_first_name', 'iu_email', 'iu_mobile_no', 'iu_password', 'iu_gender', 'iu_country', 'iu_role', 'iu_photo', 'iu_status', 'iu_ipaddress'
];
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->iu_password;
}
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
// Commented. i don't have 'password' and 'remember_token' in iw_users
// protected $hidden = [
// 'password', 'remember_token',
// ];
}
This is my LoginController.php
class LoginController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Login Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles authenticating users for the application and
| redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait

|
*/
use AuthenticatesUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after login.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = '/home';
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}
public function username()
{
return 'iu_email';
}
}
This is my login.blade.php form
<form class="form-horizontal" method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group{{ $errors->has('email') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
<label for="email" class="col-md-4 control-label">E-Mail Address</label>
<div class="col-md-6">

@endif
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group{{ $errors->has('password') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
