Well basically I have over a thousand products and I'll be assigning a
price modifier per group (ie Bronze Silver and Gold members have
different prices for their items), so I would think the best way would
be to check the User's Group's price_modifier when the user logs in,
and store it in the session. Then on each of the product pages
multiply the product price by the modifier.
I just can't seem to figure out how to implement the code. I tried in
the user controller:
function login() {
if ($this-Auth-user('id'))
$session-write('Auth.User.Group',
$this-User-Group-
findById($this-Auth-user('group_id')));
}
But I don't think I fully understand how the login function works.
Please let me know if this is wrong in many ways. I'm brand new to
CakePHP :\
I have an association that User belongsTo Group. There's no way to get
Auth to use this association?

Auth component only stores values that are in the users table, so you
can grab the user id using $this-Auth-user('id') and then do a find.
Or alternatively you can use $this-Auth-login and once if it
successfully logs in then do a find on the group data and store it in
the session for later use especially if you are going to be accessing
it a lot. But if you only need it in one place I'd just recommend
doing the find when it is needed.

Hi I have a setup with Users and Groups.
I've been reading user data using this in my views:
$session-read('Auth.User.full_name'); ..etc
Now I need to access information about the group of the user. How can
I go about doing this?
