Custom method in custom LogEngine

Hi

Ive created a custom DatabaseLog Engine which logs to the database. I would like to save the user too, so I have this method:

public function write($type, $message,$user_id = null) {

if (empty($user_id)) {

$user_id = CakeSession::read('Auth.User.id');

}

$log['action'] = $type;

$log['user_id'] = (empty($user_id)) ? null : $user_id;

$log['description'] = $message;

$log['remote_address'] = ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '::1') ? '127.0.0.1' : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$log['created'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

$this->Log->create();

return $this->Log->save($log);

}

This works if the user is logged in (Auth.User.id is set). But when the user is logged out, I would like to set the user_id manually. So I have put the user_id in the parameter list of this method.

But the LogEngine ignores this additional parameter. A custom method (like the convience ones) will be irgnored too:

public function user($message,$user_id = null) {

$log['action'] = 'user';

$log['user_id'] = (empty($user_id)) ? null : $user_id;

$log['description'] = $message;

$log['remote_address'] = ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '::1') ? '127.0.0.1' : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$log['created'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

$this->Log->create();

return $this->Log->save($log);

}

How can I achieve to give the write method the user_id on the way?

Thanks,

Frank
