Thanks Brian! I realize nobody is paid. Yes there is frustration and desperation at times. I do know how to live with it and continue to forge ahead.
Indeed I was treating check() incorrectly. I read the entry in book.cakephp.org about six times until it finally sunk in. Once you understand what is written in the manual it makes much more sense. I am using the Auth component. I did try your suggestion at first but I kept getting an "Undefined property" error on that line in the default.ctp view. I'm sure it is a timing thing and I could load user somewhere, but ultimately reading from the session seemed to work out for now. Thanks for the encouragement to keep going. I shall. I need the money. Badly. Now on to model relationships... On Aug 7, 8:57 pm, brian <bally.z...@gmail.com> wrote: > Nobody on this list is being paid to answer anyone's questions.
