POCakephp 2.2.4 does not save Auth User Info after using a alternative authenication
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to create an authentication for facebook users. Right now I check to see if a fb user id exist in my database, if it does then it authenicates, if not, then it data mines the users facebook info and creates a user and then authenicates. It works successfully, the problem is, if I use something like <code>$this->Auth->user('id');</code> the values return back null. I am curious on what I maybe doing wrong. below is my code</p> <pre><code>public function fb_authenticate($data) { $this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'fbid', 'password' => 'fbpassword'); $this->loadModel('User'); $user_record = $this->User->find('first', array( 'conditions' => array('fbid' => $data['user_id']) )); if(empty($user_record)) { $fbu = $this->Facebook->getUserInfo($data['user_id']); $user_record = array( 'User'=>array( 'username'=>$fbu->username, 'fbid'=>$data['user_id'], 'oauth_token'=>$data['oauth_token'], 'access_token'=>$data['access_token'], 'firstname'=>$fbu->first_name, 'lastname'=>$fbu->last_name, 'fbpassword'=>$this->Auth->password($data['user_id']), 'role'=>'user' )); $this->User->create(); $this->User->save($user_record,null); } if (!$this->Auth->login($user_record)) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid username or password, try again')); } } </code></pre> <p>It authenicates and lets the user in, but it does not store the users info in the Auth component session. what could be the problem ??</p> <p>if I debug <code>debug($this->Auth->user())</code> I can see the data but if I pull a field individually <code>debug($this->Auth->user('id'));</code> it returns <code>null</code>. </p>
