Re: forwarding user to dashboard after login by prefix

You could check the prefixes in your login() method and don one less
redirect. Something like:

public function login()
{
if ($user = $this->Auth->user())
{
$prefixes = Configure::read('Routing.prefixes');

if (in_array($user['Group']['name'], $prefixes)) {
$this->redirect(array(
'prefix' => $use['Group']['name'],
'controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'dashboard'
));
}
}
}

Notice I passed a route array instead of a string. This way, if you
ever want the URL to have a different format it will still work.
