Registering a user automatically in cakephp

Question

Hello everyone,

Is it possible in cakephp that a user be registered automatically with a predefined set of inputs (username, password and all that...) provided by the programmer.?

I want to register a user automatically whenever he tries to enter/access a member's restricted area.

Please help me achieve this functionality.

Using cakephp v1.2, xampp

Thanks...

Answer 1

This sounds weird. Why not just prompt for a username and password, then check to see if the user exists. If the user exists, try to authenticate them. If not, create an account with the credentials provided. Would that not work?

Found the answer, :)

I simply assigned

'$this->data'

some values by myself like this

$this->data['User']['password'] = "test";
$this->data['User']['email'] = "[email protected]";
$this->data['User']['password'] = "Registered";

and then the add action did it's work accordingly..
