RE: Problem calling private method

My opinion only would be forget using requestAction

In your header element

$loggedIn = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id');

if (!$loggedIn) {
// login form }
} else {
// control panel
}

Your User info is all in the session so no need to go grab it again.

Subject: Problem calling private method

Hello,

I have a header element that I want to display either a login form or
a control panel depending on whether or not the user is logged in.

... in my header element: ...

$user = $this->requestAction('users/getUser');
if (empty($user)) { // login form }
else { // control panel }

...and in my controller...

function _getUser() {

if ($this->Session->read('Auth.User')) { return $this->Auth-
>user(); }
else { return false; }

}

The problem is that I don't want someone to be able to type /users/
getUser. Therefore, I tried making it private (_getUser). When I do
so, I get a nested error in which the entire header is repeating
itself infinitely. I have no idea why.
