Re: Newby: Basic file structure for website & CMS

Okay, I found this example here:
http://www.jamesfairhurst.co.uk/posts/view/creating_an_admin_section_with_cakephp/
which talks me through how to create an admin area. It's actually
pretty simple, starting by just uncommenting the admin routing line
in /app/config/core.php.

However, when I'm logging into the admin area, it's erroring, saying:

Notice (8): Undefined index: User [APP\controllers
\users_controller.php, line 10]

The users_controller.php file looks like this:

<?php
class UsersController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Users';
var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form');

function login() {
// if the form was submitted
if(!empty($this->data)) {
// find the user in the database
$dbuser = $this->User->findByUsername($this->data['User']
['username']);
// if found and passwords match
if(!empty($dbuser) && ($dbuser['User']['password'] == md5($this-
>data['User']['password']))) {
// write the username to a session
$this->Session->write('User', $dbuser);
// save the login time
$dbuser['User']['last_login'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$this->User->save($dbuser);
// redirect the user
$this->Session->setFlash('You have successfully logged in.');
$this->redirect('/admin/posts/');
} else {
$this->set('error', 'Either your username or password is
incorrect.');
}
}
}

function logout() {
// delete the user session
$this->Session->delete('User');
// redirect to posts index page
$this->Session->setFlash('You have successfully logged out.');
$this->redirect('/posts/');
}
}
?>

The line which is erroring is:

$dbuser = $this->User->findByUsername($this->data['User']
['username']);

Can anyone see why this is happening, and how to solve it?

Thanks all...
