CakePHP: how to read user data in a session?

Question

I want to collect the latest user information from a user model and store it in a session.

so i do it

// Before rendering function beforeRender () {

    if($this->Session->check('Auth.User')) {
        $this->User->recursive = -1;
        $currentUser = $this->User->read(null, $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id'));
        $this->set(compact('currentUser'));
    }

}

It works fine until the User model appears.

When I go to the pages, it gives me an error, because User-> read does not work, since this model is not attached there.

What is the best solution for?

• I want to get the latest Loggedin user information on every page of the site.
• The latter, not Auth.User, from the session, because - when I edit the profile content, such as a name or photo. it still refers to old data that was saved when the user logged in.
• , , Stackoverflow.

            $this->data = $this->User->read($userId, null);
            return;
        }
        // update user
        $saved = $this->User->save($this->data);
        if ($saved) {
            $user = $this->User->read(null, $this->User->id);
            $this->Session->write('Auth.User', $user['User']); // update session
            $this->Session->setFlash('Account details have been updated');
            return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'profile'));
        }
        $this->Session->setFlash('Please correct the validation errors below');
    }
}
?>

You can try loading the model into your beforeRender as follows: $this->load('User')this should load the model for you on each controller. http://book.cakephp.org/view/992/loadModel
