Re: Newby: "Undefined index" error

First you probably want the form name to be login.ctp, since that's
what you're trying to do.

My views/users/login.ctp looks like:

<?php
if ($session->check('Message.auth')) $session->flash('auth');
echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'login'));
echo $form->input('user_name');
echo $form->input('user_password', array('type' => 'password'));
echo $form->end('Login');

echo $html->link('Register',array
('controller'=>'users','action'=>'register'));

?>

Then in my users_controller.php, I have a beforeFilter to allow access
to forms that need to be accessed before login:

function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();

$this->Auth->allow
('login','logout','recaptcha','register', 'sign_up');
}

And then my login and logout functions have a bit more code (although
the empty login should work) to make sure I redirect afterwards:

/**
* Login function - this is where we do the login ...
*/
function login() {
if ($this->Auth->user())
{
$auth_user = $this->Auth->user();
$this->set('auth_user',$auth_user);
$this->Session->SetFlash(__('Successfully logged in as '.
$auth_user['User']['full_name'],true));
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}
}

/**
* Logout function
*/
function logout() {

if ($this->Auth->logout()){
$this->Session->SetFlash(__('Successfully logged
out',true));

} else {
$this->Session->SetFlash(__('Weird - logout failed - were
you logged in ?',true));
}
$this->redirect($this->referer());
}
