Re: How can I get the current session?
Hi Nick, I will definitely take a look, even if my aim right now is to track unregistered users for days and in between different sessions, imagine shopping carts for e-commerce or any other implementation where the registration process is delayed or completed step by step at different times. Regarding substituting IPs with sessions, my previous reply to Dave might contain a possible solution.

Re: How can I get the current session?
Hi Dave, thank you for help. I moved forward a little bit on the issue. With PHP function session_id() I can get the session id, and it appears to be the same exact value stored in the 'CAKEPHP' cookie (or whatever name you configure 'Session.cookie'). I just wonder, even if it is not an issue, if there is any method in CakePHP Session to get the same.

Re: How can I get the current session?
Hi Mario,
I've repackaged my little who's online utility as a plugin. It
works well enough for my purposes basing off IP, its easy to track
test and get at easily. /shrug
If you're interested, I wrote about it:
http://www.webtechnick.com/blogs/view/227/CakePHP_Who_s_Online_Plugin
You can dig around in the source to see how it works, if you come up
with a better way feel free to add to it/etc... =)

Re: How can I get the current session?
Ps. I think that previous statement that Session is a client side object is
incorrect. Sessions = server side, Cookies = client side
If I am not mistaken... which happens plenty heh

Re: How can I get the current session?
You can use the session id as the key as well if you prefer
You just need to be sure to change the Security.level value in your core.php
to at most medium. On high it regenerates the session id every request.

Re: How can I get the current session?
Hi Nick,
thank you for your reply, very interesting suggestion for the who's
online feature.
And yes, once I get hold of who is browsing, I want to store the data
in a table (may be 'users' with a status flag indicating they are not
registered).
But why rely on $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] (IPs aren't prone to
duplicates, two or more users behind the same firewall?), where
CakePHP automatically writes a 'CAKEPHP' (session, I think) cookie? I
mean, a part from not being to access to its value, just like
me :-) ...
Best,
Mario

Re: How can I get the current session?
Hi Mario,
Well, if you want to use Sessions or Cookies I suggest reading the
book on the two. The problem you'll face is both cookie and session
are client based objects. So you can set all the sessions and cookies
you want but you'll need a way to store them somewhere in either your
server memory or a database so *you* can see it. I suggest ditching
the Session/Cookie idea and go with a database or flat-file.
The way I've tracked users in the past is create a database table
('onlines' for me). Then in my Online model I just create a little
method that delete's all entries greater than 10 minutes modified. I
then pass in $this->here to my Online's createOrUpdateUser model
function, this is all in my beforeFilter() in my app_controller.php
//app_controller beforeFilter()
$this->Online->update();
$this->Online->createOrUpdateUser($this->here);
In createOrUpdateUser($currentPage = null) I use the IP ( $_SERVER
['REMOTE_ADDR'] ) as the key and just update/create where the user
currently is in the app $this->here in the app_controller.
This gives me a nice little Online table that I can look at to see
who's online (for the last 10 minutes).
Hope that helps,
Nick
