Re: Set user variables
is $this->Auth->user('id') really that difficult to call?

Re: Set user variables
Why not just use $this->Auth->user('whatever')? AppController loads
the Auth component, so any other controller can access it.
Also, AppController::beforeFilter() will still run if you do not have
beforeFilter() in your own controller. It will only *not* run if you
override beforeFilter() in your controller and fail to call the
parent's. So, there's no need to create your the method in a
controller if only to ensure AppController's version will be run. It
will run on its own.

What I do, is to define methods in the app_controller, just like:
function userId() {
return $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id');
}
If you want to access the current userId in another controller then simply
call
$userid = $this->userId();
