Re: Remember Me with Cookie and Auth Component
Hi Miles, I cannot get the component to work, so I switched back to my own cookie login method. I can successfully login the user with the cookie, however, I only have the email address and password available. Is there anyway that i can initialize the user after he logged in? When i debug $this-Auth-user() I get: email = 'f...@bar.com', password = 'foobar' I would like to add all the additional fields in my DB to the user object.

Remember Me with Cookie and Auth Component
Hi all,
I'm trying to add a remember me checkbox into my login form.
When users check the box, they log in and a cookie ('Auth.User') is
stored, with 'email' and 'password' fields (this works).
Now in my AppController, I want to see if users can log back in using
their cookie.
I have the following code:
//inside AppController.php
public function beforeFilter(){
$cookie = $this-Cookie-read('Auth.User');
if (is_array($cookie) !$this-Auth-user())
{
$this-Auth-login($cookie);
debug($this-Auth-user());
}
}
The debug shows me that the user object in Auth contains the email
address and password.
Is there a way to load all of the additional data into the user object
(like firstname, lastname, etc...)?
My UsersController contains the following login function:
public function login(){
$this-autoRender = false;
if($this-request-is('post')){
if($this-Auth-login()){
//see if the remember me cookie has to be set
if(!empty($this-request-data)
$this-request-data['User']
['remember_me']){
$cookie = array();
$cookie['email'] = $this-data['User']['email'];
$cookie['password'] = $this-data['User']['password'];
$this-Cookie-write('Auth.User', $cookie, true, '+2
weeks');
return $this-redirect('../index');
}
else{
//we logged in, but the user does not
want to have a cookie.
return $this-redirect('../index');
}
}
else {
//we tried to log in the user but it failed
$this-Session-setFlash($this-Auth-authError);
return $this-redirect('../index');
}
}
if(empty($this-request-data)){
$cookie = $this-Cookie-read('Auth.User');
if(!is_null($cookie)){
echo('we found cookie, now trying to log you in
with it');
if($this-Auth-login($cookie)){
$this-Session-delete('Message.auth');
//return $this-redirect('../feed');
} else{
//invalid cookie
$this-Cookie-del('Auth.User');
}
}
else{
//users accesses this page without a cookie
return $this-redirect('../index');
}
}
}
Please note that I am very new to CakePHP.
Thanks in advance,
Jordy
