Re: Set user variables

[JamesF]

is $this-Auth-user('id') really that difficult to call?

Re: Set user variables

[tobi_one]

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();

 How can I define these in the app_controller beforeFilter so I can grab them
 from any controller using

 function beforeFilter()
       {
           parent::beforeFilter();
        }

 or any other way that will work.

 thanks,

Re: Set user variables

[brian]

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.
