Using Kohana 3, I have my User table with a field that references a field from another table in the database, however, I can't find where the user data is requested so I can add a ->with to it so I can use it throughout the site.
I'm still digging around and these are the pieces I've found so far:
in: modules/orm/classes/Kohana/Auth/ORM.php
public function get_user($default = NULL)
it calls parent::get_user($default);
so when I look up it’s parent: modules/auth/classes/Kohana/Auth.php:74, it's running this:
return $this->_session->get($this->_config['session_key'], $default);
$this->_session is created using:
Session::instance($this->_config['session_type']);
which I tracked down to: system/classes/Kohana/Session.php.
I think I reached a dead-end there.
I also tried doing a search for ORM::factory('User'), however, it's only used on login as far as I can tell.
get_user() returns an object of Model_User, but I'm not quite sure how to work with that to help me out.
The problem was coming from the fact that when you login, the data is cached and not pulled again until you re-login. So the tables needed to be joined on the login methods.
