cakephp 2.0 how to update auth data?

Question

when I update data in the User model, the Auth data is not updated.

How can I \"refresh\" the data which is returned by $this->Auth->user() when I am updating user model

Answer 1

I solved this problem using afterSave function in User Model. It's working fine if we update user model from any area. My code was as below :

class User extends AppModel {
    ... ... ...
    public function afterSave($created, $options = array()){
        parent::afterSave($created,$options);

        //updating authentication session
        App::uses('CakeSession', 'Model/Datasource');
        CakeSession::write('Auth',$this->findById(AuthComponent::user('id')));

        return true;
    }
    ... ... ...
}
