Use Controllers?

soonerdm

I need to build user accounts. A user registers for the site by creating an account. They will log into their account and read the content generated by the fuel admin. I think I want to use controllers for the user to create their account and use CI base functions to accommodate this. Is this possible? Is there a better way? What specifically should I read to accomplish this?

I think you are on the right track. Leverage CI to create controllers and functionality that you need for authenticating and then you can render the content in the CMS. Here is an example as to how to render a page from the CMS from a controller:
