RE: beforeRender / filter
Thanks for the info guys.
Basically the idea is a User has a preference represented by a field in the
table 'display' and they can select it as an option so in the site to either
display or not display their information. Its only used in 1 controller but
will try them out and see what works best.
Thanks,
Dave

On that point, may what you want to do is declare $display as a class member
(just inside your controller class, not inside a method/action/
callback) like so:
var $_display;
and when you need to set it:
$this->_display = $this->Auth->user('display');
Take note I used the Auth component as it is more concise and fits the
purpose of the code.
Now, if you want to get or test its value:
if ($this->_display) {
// do something here
}
Cheers,
OJ

Re: beforeRender / filter
You cant set a variable within a function and expect it to be usable
again somewhere else. Variables defined in functions are restricted to
the functions scope. You have to set it to the object.
$this->display = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.display');

beforeRender / filter
How can i access session data in beforeRender or before Filter?
i have $display = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.display');
and i have that all over the controller. Is there a way i can define that in
a before function and access it from there instead of that long snip
allover?
I tried
function beforeRender() {
$display = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.display');
}
or
function beforeFilter() {
$display = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.display');
}
and in the controller $display comes up invalid variable
