Novice Programmer:
There are two right ways of doing this. One is to make the session a
formal part of your domain model, i.e. model it. This allows it to
interact with other models at the model level. The model, like the
view, should never directly query a tier outside its own. The other
is to use a callback to notify the model of the user's state.
Assuming you are following proper convention, this can be handled
across your entire application in one fell swoop:
class AppController extends Controller {
var $components = array("Auth");
function beforeFilter() {
$this->{$this->modelClass}->setUserState($this->Auth->user());
}
}
class AppModel extends Model {
function setUserState($user) {
// Handle authentication data/set local variables in prep for
validation
}
}
Hope that helps. If you're not able to get it to work, reply to this
thread and myself or someone else knowledgeable in proper OO/MVC
design will respond.
