Actually, I meant $this->Session->read('user'). To grab the full user record
and all associated data....
$user = $this->User->read(...);
$this->Session->write('user', $user);
Because I found the default data for $this->Auth->user() was lacking. But if
$this->Auth->user() is needing to make a query each time it's called, I
don't want to go that direction - I want to pull the data w/o a database
call.
Sorry for the confusion... :)
Thanks,
~Philip
