Re: Setting variables in AppController to use in Layout.

Hi,

i dont see anything wrong there, so i would first write a $this-
log($login_url) in the app controllers beforeRender to be sure it will
be called and the $login_url is filled. One reason it will not be
called could be a beforeRender in the calling Controller whitch doesnt
call his Parent.
