Thanks all. I stripped it all away (as suggested) and started from scratch and got it working. The problem with error messages seemed to be twofold. Firstly that logoutRedirect was actually causing a redirection on login, overriding loginRedirect. Strange.
Also, I was incorrectly using loginError, assuming that once you set that variable it would automatically render on an error. It seems you have to manually call it using something like $this->Session- >setFlash($this->Auth->loginError); Thanks again. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
