Re: Cake 1.2 Auth - Is someone logged in?
Little hint:
You can add a $this->set into the AppController::beforeRender to
always read $this->Auth->user() and thus make its content available in
all views.
function beforeRender() {
$this->set('auth', $this->Auth->user());
}
You can also do the same for your controllers, so you have that info
in all actions too
function beforeFilter() {
$this->currentUser = $this->Auth->user();
$this->isAuthed = !empty($this->currentUser);
}
And of course you could then use $this->currentUser for your
$this->set call instead of calling $this->Auth->user() again.
function beforeRender() {
$this->set('auth', $this->currentUser);
$this->set('isAuthed', $this->isAuthed);
}
In your views you can benefit from all that like so:
Happy baking :)

Re: Cake 1.2 Auth - Is someone logged in?
Thank You!
As with everything, this all seems impossible (at least daunting),
until you know how.
Of course, once you know how you slap your forehead and say: "Duh.".
Now on to figuring out the ACL!
Thanks again,
B.
