it keeps popping up on the channel and the groups so i will mention this issue again: with the old othAuth v0.2 actions were being performed even though they were restricted. i discovered the v0.5 code that othman accidentally posted on the bakery and tried to get it working with the existing helper/controller snippets and although it broke some other functionality, and there is undocumented new features, it did appear to solve the problem of actions being performed before being redirected to the login page. obviously i doubt i am the only one eagerly awaiting documentation for the new version of othAuth and associated helper.
i did also notice that if you declare restricted actions in the app_controller AND a specific controller, you cannot simply do index, add, delete, edit in the former and then tack on another action like logout in the controller without redeclaring all the former as well. is that right? i guess that is maybe just normal oo behavior and you are over-writing the var? is that true of helper and component vars in cake too then? i was never clear on that and it is probably a n00b question i should get flamed for. please do. i thought OO behavior was the opposite of that... also, a workaround for this othAuth performing actions before redirect problem i think could be discovered in cake's security component which i have been reading about: requireAuth and requirePost ... and phpNut once implied that it would probably go away if you simply used post instead of get in the first place. i always planned to use something like that anyway, i just didn't like that othAuth/beforeFilter had that problem (i mean, pitfall for n00bs to have that problem) out of the box and wanted to figure it out. again, it could have just been me, but others seemed to have found that issue too... anyway, i still love cake after a 2 month break and thanks to crazylegs for his work on this component and everyone else who develops cake too. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
