I can render the login element on any page using $this->renderElement('login'); in my view or page layout.Works well for me. I can capture the page they were on using a hidden element in the form and redirect back to that page after login, or I can get that page from the cake controller.
The above is just a general description and rough code for what I did. I didn't copy and paste so you will most likely have to tweak it to make it worth anything.I do have this working quite well on a couple of sites I am developing so post back if you can't get it and I will put code into the CakeBin with some instructions.

it into places you want it displayed.
requestAction('/users/login', array('return')); ?>

How do I create a login element
Hi, I have followed the instuctions in chapter 21 of the manual to create a user authentication system. I have that system completely working. I want to create a login element that functions the same way. This way, I can place the login element in the left column of my layout. The problem that I am running into is that cake requires the view to be related to an action. I do not know how to tell cake that the login element is the view for the users/login action. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you, codecowboy --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
