Cakephp - Updating information on a logged User

I have a controller named sales_controller at this controller I got a function in wich I want to:

1. update information about the sale -> DONE
2. create a new record on other model -> DONE
3. update a field on a user record -> PROBLEM

My last attempted to do this was:

App::import('model','User');
$user= $this->Auth->user();
$nr = $this->Auth->user('nr') - 1 ;

if($user->save(array('nr'=>$nr)))
{
    $this->Session->setFlash(__('DONE! ', true));
    this->redirect(array('action'=>$page,$params));
}

I know that the method $this-开发者_高级运维>Auth->user() returns an array and I read that "save" does not work for arrays...

I was trying to call read function on users, but I still don't know how I should do it.

This must be something simple to do, but I'm still a newbie lol.

So, can anyone help me?

Thanks

Try this:

App::import('Model', 'User');
$user = new User();
$user->id = $this->Auth->user('id');

/* if you really need to store the entire array, instead of accessing individual fields as needed */
$user_info = $this->Auth->user();

/* in saveField, add 'true' as a third argument to force validation, i.e. $user->saveField('nr', $this->Auth->user('nr') - 1, true) */
if ($user->saveField('nr', $this->Auth->user('nr') - 1)) {
   $this->Session->setFlash(__('DONE! ', true));
   this->redirect(array('action' => $page, $params));
}

You've loaded the User object but you're not doing anything with it. You've set the value of $user to an array returned from the Auth object, and then you're trying to call the save method on it. You want to call save on the User object.

I think what you're trying to say is:

$this->User->id = $this->Auth->user('id');
$this->User->save(array('nr'=>$nr));
