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
