How to avoid this looping when try to reach index()

Question

I'm trying to check if $this->current_user is set, otherwise redirect to the login page but because Wall is my default route it loops and give me a 500 Internal Server Error, does any have some ideas in how to work with that? I'm using PyroCMS and them use IonAuth.

class Wall extends Public_Controller {

   public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();

    if (empty($this->current_user)) {
         $this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'Debes iniciar sesión para acceder a esta página');
         redirect(site_url());
     }
    }

 }

Cheers and thanks in advance

The redirect() method redirects to a URL. You can use redirect(site_url('login')); as long as you make sure that you have a controller ready with the name 'login'.

If you don't want to use site_url(), you can also hardcode the URL in like:

redirect('http://www.yoursite.com/login');
