Where We Use Setstate

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

where we use


Yii::app()->user->setState($attribute,$value)

where is the best position ?

In UserIdentity or in Webuser afterlogin method?

which is the best use?

2

Identity seems more appropriate

3

Yes I am using it in identity , but sometimes it gives me an error webuser.$attribute not defined . i cant figure it out when the error occurs !!

4

it depends what you put into session state if its user data likely some of your users don’t have all the fields

5

Thank You. :)

I want to access other attributes of user table like


Yii::app()->user->id

For that i have modified UserIdentity.php with following code


$this->setState('CompanyId', $user->company_id);

when i use


Yii::app()->user->CompanyId;

,it gives me error. Property "RWebUser.CompanyId" is not defined.

What is wrong i have done?

7

if you have


$this->setState('CompanyId', $user->company_id);

access to it by


Yii::app()->user->getState('CompanyId');

else

if you want use Yii::app()->user->CompanyId , most rewrite webUser.php and define function CompanyId().

thanx @n-r. it helps me. :rolleyes:

This is something i often use in WebUser, it gives you access to all params by name…




public function __get($name)

    {

        try {

            return parent::__get($name);

        } catch (CException $e) {

            $m = $this->user;

            if ($m->__isset($name))

                return $m->{$name};

            else throw $e;

        }

    }


    public function __set($name, $value)

    {

        try {

            return parent::__set($name, $value);

        } catch (CException $e) {

            $m = $this->user;

            $m->{$name} = $value;

        }

    }


    public function __call($name, $parameters)

    {

        try {

            return parent::__call($name, $parameters);

        } catch (CException $e) {

            $m = $this->user;

            return call_user_func_array(array($m, $name), $parameters);

        }

    }
