Using custom users table and provider

[ilicmarko]

Something strange is happening and I can't wrap my head around it. 😭

I have been trying to setup Statamic to store users in the database without luck. This is an existing Laravel app and I am trying to use a separate users table from the existing one. Here is my auth.php.

Note I have successfully created the Users and other tables (as I am using the eloquent driver for storing content in the DB).

'guards' => [
        //..
        'statamic' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'statamic',
        ]
    ],

    'providers' => [
        //...
        'statamic' => [
            'driver' => 'statamic',
        ],
    ],

    'passwords' => [
       //...
        'activations' => [
            'provider' => 'statamic',
            'table' => 'password_activations',
            'expire' => 4320,
            'throttle' => 60,
        ],
    ],

Here is the users.php

[
    'repository' => 'eloquent',

    'repositories' => [

        'file' => [
            'driver' => 'file',
            'paths' => [
                'users' => base_path('users'),
                'roles' => resource_path('users/roles.yaml'),
                'groups' => resource_path('users/groups.yaml'),
            ],
        ],

        'eloquent' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
        ],

    ],

  'database' => env('STATAMIC_ELOQUENT_CONNECTION'), // Maybe this is the problem?

    'tables' => [
        'users' => 'users',
        'role_user' => 'role_user',
        'group_user' => 'group_user',
    ],

    'guards' => [
        'cp' => 'statamic',
        'web' => 'statamic',
    ],
]

The STATAMIC_ELOQUENT_CONNECTION is the separate database connection I use for Statamic, which I configured in the database.php.

Finally, this is the error I get when I try to login or create a new user, config modal is null:

call_user_func_array(): Argument #1 ($callback) must be a valid callback, first array member is not a valid class name or object

Any ideas?

Hi, I encountered the same issue and found a workaround.

I included the following guard in the auth.php:

        'statamic' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'statamic',
        ],

I also added the subsequent provider to the auth.php:

        'statamic' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => App\Models\StatamicUser::class,
        ],

Furthermore, I created a custom model for the table which extends the Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User.

The only modification I made was to the CP authentication guard in the config/statamic/users.php, setting it to statamic.

I hope this solution will work for others as well.
