[CakePHP] How to add some action after login (and before redirection)?

Question

hello,

trying to develop some sort of login tracker for my cakephp application.

i know that i need code like:

$this->data['LoginSession']['username'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$this->data['LoginSession']['ipAddress'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$this->LoginSession->save($this->data);

... in (i guess) users_controller, but don't know exactly where.

also i would like to track successful, but also unsuccessful logins.

can you help me with this please? thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Do you already have the login function?

function login() {
    if ($this->Auth->user()) {
        //do your tracking stuff/DB call here
        $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
    }
}
