Cakephp Auth Redirect - php

Question

I just started trying to learn cakephp auth, i just copied and pasted the code, trying to understand it. I can't figure out what is directly the redirect
//app controller
//is empty i know in some cases you put it here, i'm just tested it in the user controller
//user controller
public $components = array('Paginator',
'Session',
'Auth' => array(
'loginAction' => array(
'controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'login',
'plugin' => 'users'
),
'authError' => 'Did you really think you are allowed to see that?',
'authenticate' => array(
'Form' => array(
'fields' => array('username' => 'email')
)
)
)
);
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->allow('index', 'view');
}
public function login() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->Auth->login()) {
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl());
// Prior to 2.3 use
// `return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());`
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(
__('Username or password is incorrect'),
'default',
array(),
'auth'
);
}
}
}
I understand the before filter makes sense, it only allows index and view, i have another controller called admin which redirects to the login page if your not logged in
but for somme reason it keeps redirecting to users/users/login, i want it to go to users/login? How do i fix this?

Answer 1

you just have to put the controller wherever you go and the action
public function login() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->Auth->login()) {
return $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'));
}
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalido nombre de usuario o contraseña'));
}
}
