Error: Call to a member function user() on boolean about cakephp-user-tools HOT 4 CLOSED

Any ideas?

No, because this file /my/home/dir/src/Controller/UsersController.php is not part of my plugin and I don't know your code...

I assume that you're following the tutorial: You need to load and configure the Auth component in your AppController. Check the CakePHP documentation on how to load components and configure the Auth component.

For future issue tickets please read these links and follow their advice. :)

I literally have no code other than your plugin at the moment,

I was following the install from here

https://github.com/burzum/cakephp-user-tools/blob/master/docs/Documentation/Installation.md

and then moved on to here

Where you mention to edit src/Crontroller/UsersController.php ?

Well, you need to have a CakePHP application that is using the plugin. You need to add $this->loadComponent('Auth'); to your AppControllers initialize() method and configure it properly. I'll add that note to the documentation in the develop branch of the plugin.

I highly recommend you to do the complete blog tutorial of the official CakePHP documentation or you won't have much fun with any plugin or anything else in the framework. It covers setting up Auth as well.

If you wish to get a complete walkthrough and personal support to explain you the very basics I don't mind doing that, just not for free. Again, this is not a technical issue of the plugin. You can contact me if you're interested in personal training, but I'll charge a hourly rate for that.

I've updated the documentation to make this more clear.
