You can grab the name from within login() and store it in the session.
Assuming you have $this->Auth->autoRedirect = false in
AppController::beforeFilter() ...
public function login()
{
if ($user = $this->Auth->user())
{
$this->User->Group->id = $this->Auth->user('group_id');
$this->Session->write(
'Auth.User.group_name',
$this->User->Group->field('name')
);
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}
}
Then you can get the name from within a controller:
$this->Auth->user('group_name');
... or view:
$this->Session->read('Auth.User.group_name');

Getting recursive user data via Auth
Hi,
Suppose I a users table, a groups table, and every user belongs to a
group. I'd like via the app_controller to get the group's name, in
order to set it in the view.
I've used the following code in app_controller.php:
function beforeRender(){
$this->loadModel('Group');
$group = $this->Group->find('id = ' . $this->Auth->user('group_id'));
$this->set('groupName', $group['Group']['name']);
}
This code works great, but is there another way than using the
loadModel method? thanks.
