Re: AuthComponent: reset session info on user->save()

That's brilliant and simple, thanks for that. I boiled it down a bit
to something that fits right into the AuthComponent, as follows. Not
sure if it is core-worthy as I am fairly new with cake, but I will use
it via a subclass of AuthComponent for now (since it looks like I will
have one anyway for other reasons)....

/**
* Reloads the given field and value within in the session. If no
arguments
* are given, will read the AuthComponent::userModel and re-load the
Session
* using the result.
*
* @param string $field
* @param string $value
* @return void
*/
function refresh($field = '', $value = '') {
if (!empty($field) && !empty($value)) {
$this->Session->write($this->sessionKey .'.'. $field,
$value);
} elseif ($user =& $this->getModel()) {
$this->login($user->read(false, $this->user('id')));
}
}

cheers ~
Sam
