Global function current_user() returning null while logged in

[Thom Mc]

Hi,

I'm working on a plugin which extends the API.  It uses a custom controller which extends Omeka_Controller_AbstractActionController and implements getAction().

This is working ok and provides a usable API method, except that when I call current_user() or similar code to check a user is logged in, it returns null instead of the expected user object. 

Can anybody suggest why this might be?

Thanks,
Thom

Thom,

Since this is in the API, is your user "logged in" normally, or with a
key in the query string? The API doesn't respect cookie-based sessions,
only the given key (if any).

Thanks John, that explains it.  Was looking for the cookie based login.
