Re: Auth and Registry

OK, so in using the old login.php script:

if(!$auth->registerUser(array(
        'username' => $username,
        'last_login' => time(),
        'user_id' => $user_id,
        'roles' => $newarr,
		'account_id' => $account_id)))
{
    trigger_error(Error::getError(). ' in login.php', WARNING);
}

nothing appears in flow, but use of the prepend.php code:

    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($auth->sessionData);
    echo '</pre>';

reveals that some items were added. I can't seem to access the roles
coming from the database with Path::get('//role/name', 'flow'); though.;
