Re: CakePHP Gigya Social Network Plugin implementation

Foroct,

I'm not too familiar with the plugin... but it looks like it
automatically check for the user in the users table. I suspect this is
the default behavior because of the function gigyaCreateUser($user).
In order to create a new user, the plugin most likely checks if the
user already exists in the database.

It looks like there's a function called afterGigyaLogin($user) but I
would guess this can be used for application-specific stuff like
formatting the user's name or making another REST call to Gigya.

Hope that helps a little... I would "trust but verify" my claims ;-)
