Re: In CakePHP 3.0, how to get logged in user in product model?

Actually it would not be cleaner, as you are creating a hidden dependency. Always pass the parameters a function needs to work with. There are ways of doing this, of course, (hint a global variable through Configure or any other static class)

I have a product model and need a function in the entity to return certain pricing info based on who is logged in.

I am getting around this by setting a state variable in the controller beforeFilter and passing that to the function from the view.

It would be cleaner if I could do this in the model.

I did this using Yii and django, but would like to do this using cake as it is much farther along in my port.

Thanks

You can pass it in an entity property, what are you trying to do?

Hello,

Having a hard time getting this to work.

I want to access the logged in user's model from another model (product)

Thanks
