User object within controller

Kirby 2 Solved ✅
1

i had an issue with kirby 2.4.0 where the $site->user() object was not valid within my controller but $site->users()->current() was. any idea how that could happen? i thought they would be the same?

i found out that the $site->users()->current() points to the first user not the current. how can that be?

return function($site, $pages, $page) {
    $userR = site()->user(); // using site() function
    echo 'panel login --> '.$userR->email().'<br>';
    $userC = $site->users()->current(); // using var $site
    echo 'why first user account ? --> '.$userC->email();
    return compact();
}

$site->user()->current() would return the currently logged in user, not `$site->users()->current().

4

i see. a typo. but why does $site->users()->current() not fail but return first user if function does not exists?

5

The users class inherits the current()method from the iterator class via the collection class. It just returns the current element of the array, but not the currently logged in user.
