Well alex_c, try the $this->Session->chek('Auth.User')... and you only
can see the uploadpictures after logging, because only the show and
the register actions are allowed without login, so for any other
action you will need to login first.
And I'm not pretty sure, but I think that you should define the login
action like this:
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if (!$this->Auth->login()) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__("incorrectLogin", true));
}
}
Well, that's the way I use it.
I hope this to be useful for you.
