Uhm, it happened to me the same exact thing. In the latest releases of this library, Ben Edmunds used php magic method __call() so that you don't have to call a model's method by using the regular syntax $this->ion_auth_model->method() but using instead $this->ion_auth->method(), as if it was a method belonging to the library.

But, actually, that method belongs to the model. So, if you go have a look at the model, you'll see that there's no get_user() method (nor is there in the library!), or at least in the version I talk about (the latest or the one just before. I downloaded a fresh copy one or two weeks ago). I think there are some errors in the documentation he provided (though the overall work he did is awesome, kudos to Ben).

You can try using the user() model method, which should yield to the same result (it's the closer in functionality). So call $this->ion_auth->user() and see if that fits your needs.

EDIT

To clarify... instead of this...

$this->end_user = $this->ion_auth->current()->row();

do this...

$this->end_user = $this->ion_auth->user()->row();
