Well, I've a big big problem with two applications of mine. I use an authentication method made with before filter. The problem is that, after a login it works correctly. Then, without a reason, the application seems to loose the session and brings me back to the login form. For this reason, I really can't understand what happens and when. Is there a way to produce a log for the application? Or otherwise, how I can unserstand what happens? That's the code in app_controller.php:
function checkSession() { // If the session info hasn't been set... if (!$this->Session->check('Dealer')) { // Force the user to login $this->redirect('/dealers/login'); exit(); } } And this in dealer_controller.php function login() { //Don't show the error message if no data has been submitted. $this->set('error', false); // If a user has submitted form data: if (!empty($this->data)) { // First, let's see if there are any users in the database // with the username supplied by the user using the form: $someone = $this->Dealer->findByUsername($this- >data['Dealer']['username']); // At this point, $someone is full of user data, or its empty. // Let's compare the form-submitted password with the one in // the database. if(!empty($someone['Dealer']['username']) && $someone['Dealer']['password'] == $this->data['Dealer']['password']) { // Note: hopefully your password in the DB is hashed, // so your comparison might look more like: // md5($this->data['User']['password']) == ... // This means they were the same. We can now build some basic // session information to remember this user as 'logged-in'. $this->Session->write('Dealer', $someone['Dealer']); // Now that we have them stored in a session, forward them on // to a landing page for the application. $this->redirect('/customers/index_search'); } // Else, they supplied incorrect data: else { // Remember the $error var in the view? Let's set that to true: $this->set('error', true); } } } function logout() { // Redirect users to this action if they click on a Logout button. // All we need to do here is trash the session information: $this->Session->delete('Dealer'); // And we should probably forward them somewhere, too... $this->redirect('/dealers/login'); } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
