It mainly depend of the Auth setting. By default you would not go
trough the login action before Auth will do, so your code is useless
since Auth will handle the login before your login code (when $this-
>data is not empty).
My best guess is to handle this in beforeFilter of the user
controller, a bit like this:
// switch username to email when @ found in login name
if($this->action == 'login' && strpos($this->data['User']['username'],
'@') !== false))
{
$this->data['User']['email'] = $this->data['User']p'username'];
unset($this->data['User']['username']);
$this->Auth->fields['username']='email';
}
