Re: Standard

Actually, I meant $this->Session->read('user'). To grab the full user record and all associated data....

$user = $this->User->read(...);

$this->Session->write('user', $user);

Because I found the default data for $this->Auth->user() was lacking. But if $this->Auth->user() is needing to make a query each time it's called, I don't want to go that direction - I want to pull the data w/o a database call.

Sorry for the confusion... :)

Thanks,

~Philip

yes, so both is more or less the same :)
