Little hint:
You can add a $this->set into the AppController::beforeRender to
always read $this->Auth->user() and thus make its content available in
all views.
function beforeRender() {
$this->set('auth', $this->Auth->user());
}
You can also do the same for your controllers, so you have that info
in all actions too
function beforeFilter() {
$this->currentUser = $this->Auth->user();
$this->isAuthed = !empty($this->currentUser);
}
And of course you could then use $this->currentUser for your
$this->set call instead of calling $this->Auth->user() again.
function beforeRender() {
$this->set('auth', $this->currentUser);
$this->set('isAuthed', $this->isAuthed);
}
In your views you can benefit from all that like so:
<?php if ($isAuthed): ?>
<?php pr($auth); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Happy baking :)
