Baz,
Your steps above are what I see in my testing as well.I also noticed
that when my session times out, auth.redirect was always set in the
new session I'd see when hitting step #4. So I did this in my Users-
>login method:
function login() {
$this->disableCache();
if ($this->Auth->user()) {
//if the redirect was due to a failed /admin* page,
then set
redirect to login page
if (stristr($this->Session->read('Auth.redirect'),
'admin') ===
TRUE) {
$this->Session->write('Auth.redirect',
'/users/login');
}
//set some stuff for my app then...
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else {
if ($this->Session->check('Auth.redirect')) {
if (!($this->Session->check('Message.flash') ||
$this->Session-
>check('Message.auth'))){
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Your
session has timed out. Please
log in again.', true));
}
}
}
}
It seems to handle the case I started this thread with. I'm fairly
new, so it may not be elegant or ideal. I'm learning on the go here,
so any comments given are helpful.
