how do i access the session variables in the pages

Question

how do i access the session variables in the pages in agile toolkit. i am using $this->getUser() but it is not working

Answer 1

In agile toolkit each object can register session variables. This is done to allow you to have multiple objects work indecently and not conflict.

Basic functions are:

$o->memorize('handle',123);

$o->recall('handle');

$o->forget('handle');

If you intentionally wish to share data, then you can use

$o->api->memorize('my_global_var',123);

Since you mentioned about User ID, then authorization object handles its own variables. Similarly it uses memorize/recall to manipulate auth data settings, but you can get the information like this:

$user_id = $o->api->auth->get('id');

When $auth->check() is performed, all fields returning by the query are saved. If you wish to add more fields, then perform

$auth->dq->field('extrainfo');

and this field will be selected by DSQL and stored in session too for further retrieval by $auth->get('extrainfo')

To create getUser function, typically you would define this in API:

function getUser(){
    return $this->add('Model_User')->loadData($this->auth->get('id'));
}

and use $this->api->getUser() to retrieve the data.
