Re: [Catalyst] action_for with user_id removed ...

[Octavian Rasnita]

From: "Kiffin Gish" <kiffin.g...@planet.nl>
I have a number of user-defined actions which are described with the
user id like this:

settings/user_id/(view|edit)

Where user_id is the primary key into the users resultset. However, I do
not want this to be visible to the end-user for security reasons (if I'm
admin it's alright).

Is it possible to retain these, but for users who are logged in
the /user_id/ is removed to get this visible instead:

settings/(view|edit)

Thanks alot in advance.

If your users have an ID, they're probably logged in. If they are logged in, 
you can get and use that ID in your app by getting it with:

my $user_id = $c->user->obj->id
or
my $user_id = $c->user->get('id');

(And the second way is recommended).
