Can't authenticate with different table - authentication

Question

I've changed the auth.php file in order to authenticate my users according to authors table. But I keep getting No account for you when I'm running test route.
auth.php
<?php
return array(
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => 'Author',
'table' => 'authors',
'reminder' => array(
'email' => 'emails.auth.reminder', 'table' => 'password_reminders',
),
);
routes.php
Route::get('test', function() {
$credentials = array('username' => 'giannis',
'password' => Hash::make('giannis'));
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
return "You are a user.";
}
return "No account for you";
});
AuthorsTableSeeder.php
<?php
class AuthorsTableSeeder extends Seeder {
public function run()
{
// Uncomment the below to wipe the table clean before populating
DB::table('authors')->delete();
$authors = array(
[
'username' => 'giannis',
'password' => Hash::make('giannis'),
'name' => 'giannis',
'lastname' => 'christofakis'],
[
'username' => 'antonis',
'password' => Hash::make('antonis'),
'name' => 'antonis',
'lastname' => 'antonopoulos']
);
// Uncomment the below to run the seeder
DB::table('authors')->insert($authors);
}
}
Addendum
I saw in another post that you have to implement the UserInterface RemindableInterface interfaces. But the result was the same.
Author.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
class Author extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
protected $guarded = array();
public static $rules = array();
public function posts() {
return $this->hasMany('Post');
}
/**
* Get the unique identifier for the user.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function getAuthIdentifier()
{
return $this->getKey();
}
/**
* Get the password for the user.
*
* #return string
*/
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->password;
}
/**
* Get the e-mail address where password reminders are sent.
*
* #return string
*/
public function getReminderEmail()
{
return "giannis#hotmail.com";
}
}

Answer 1

You don't need to Hash your password when you are using Auth::attempt(); so remove Hash::make from routes
Route::get('test', function() {
$credentials = array('username' => 'giannis',
'password' => 'giannis');
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
return "You are a user.";
}
return "No account for you";
});
and it will work like a charm!
