Hi Jon, There are after authentication hooks available to you. The user, request and params (route) object are availalbe to you. To do what you're doing there you should be able to do something like:
Merb::Authentication.after_authentication do |user, request, params| request.session[:display_name] = user.display_name user end Be sure to finish with the user. By returning the user, the authentication continues. (with the user object to be logged in) if you return false / nil, you'll effectively cancel the login. You can have as many of these blocks as you like. The user object from one is forwarded to the next etc until all are complete.
