    <p>According to the cakebook <a href="http://book.cakephp.org/view/172/Authentication" rel="nofollow noreferrer">section on the Auth component</a>, I can implement simple authentication by using the following Users controller:</p> <pre><code>class UsersController extends AppController { var $name = 'Users'; var $components = array('Auth'); // Not necessary if declared in your app controller /** * The AuthComponent provides the needed functionality * for login, so you can leave this function blank. */ function login() { } function logout() { $this-&gt;redirect($this-&gt;Auth-&gt;logout()); } } </code></pre> <p>I would like to be able to something like the following into my view:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $username = $auth-&gt;user('username'); echo "Welcome " . $username; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is there a simple way to do this, or do I need to overwrite the login function and store the username to the session?</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/929186/is-there-an-easy-way-to-get-authcomponent-user-data-from-a-view-in-cakephp/930226#930226">Alexander's answer</a> is exactly what I wanted. However, I will add the following in case someone else gets confused like I did.</p> <p>It took me a while to understand that if you change the model that Auth uses (for example, you might have a 'persons' table instead of 'users'), then you need to use something like:</p> <pre><code>$persondata = $session-&gt;read('Auth.Person'); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
