I have successfully used Auth, but unfortunately, it seems that it does work only with Session. I want that if user checks "Remember Me" checkbox, I would use Cookie and he would be logged in for 2 weeks. I can't find anything in official book and in Google I found just few and not great blog posts. Is there any way to implement this without rewriting the core?
In your user controller:
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->allow(array('login', 'register'));
parent::beforeFilter();
}
public function login() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->Auth->login()) {
// did they select the remember me checkbox?
if ($this->request->data['User']['remember_me'] == 1) {
// remove "remember me checkbox"
unset($this->request->data['User']['remember_me']);
// hash the user's password
$this->request->data['User']['password'] = $this->Auth->password($this->request->data['User']['password']);
// write the cookie
$this->Cookie->write('remember_me_cookie', $this->request->data['User'], true, '2 weeks');
}
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Username or password is incorrect.'));
}
}
$this->set(array(
'title_for_layout' => 'Login'
));
}
public function logout() {
// clear the cookie (if it exists) when logging out
$this->Cookie->delete('remember_me_cookie');
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
In the login view:
<h1>Login</h1>
<?php echo $this->Form->create('User'); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('username'); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('password'); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->checkbox('remember_me'); ?> Remember Me
<?php echo $this->Form->end('Login'); ?>
In your AppController:
public $components = array(
'Session',
'Auth',
'Cookie'
);
public $uses = array('User');
public function beforeFilter() {
// set cookie options
$this->Cookie->ke
