I've got the above working, by doing something like this. Where
'usertype' is defined prefix like 'admin'
if($this->Auth->User('accounttype_id')==3)
{
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' =>
'dashboard','action'=>'index','usertype'=>'1');
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller' => 'pages','action'
=> 'home');
}
If theres a better way then please let me know
Another question though
If I want an action to be exactly the same across the user types, is
it acceptable to do something like this
usertype_view($id = null){
$this->view($id);
$this->render('view');
}
Thanks
