Re: Help with function Login()--using Auth (Redirecting issue)

Hi,

By default, Auth component redirects to referrer page (if set) otherwise to the page set in loginRedirect. So you may need to overwrite 'Auth.redirect' session parameter.

FYI, please have a look at http://book.cakephp.org/view/1270/loginRedirect

The code in your login method does basically what Auth would do if
left to its own devices. You could get the same functionality as above
by setting the following in AppController's beforeFilter method:

// this tells Auth to handle redirects
$this->Auth->autoRedirect = true;

// this tells Auth where to send the user
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array(
       'controller' => 'posts',
       'action' => 'index'
);

$this->Auth->loginError = 'Username and password combination is incorrect!';

if (!$this->Session->read('Auth.User'))
{
       $this->Auth->authError = 'Please log in';
}

You set the first one to false when you need to do some routines
during login--like record the login time, set a session var, etc.
Otherwise, you can leave login() empty and allow Auth to sort it all
out.
