Re: add logged user infos in the setFlash message after login

Also, instead of grabbing from the session variable directly you
should use one of the cake specific functions...

$user = $_SESSION['Auth']['User']['first_name'];

should be:

$this->Session->read('Auth.User.first_name');

or (I prefer this way as someone can't mess with this data like they
can the session)

$this->Auth->user('first_name');
