Aha, thats much smarter.
While I have your attention, if you dont mind.
What is the proper way to handle when a group is not allowed to access
a particular controller? I have setup my ACL and it appears to be
working properly. But, and I thought this would happen automatically,
how do I stop execution of the requested method and tell the user they
dont have permission? (AppController::beforeFilter() pasted below)
I have a difficult time understanding where Cake's magic stops and
mine is supposed to take over sometimes.
function beforeFilter()
{
/*
* Dont check ACL if this is the Users controller and the
login in action
*/
if ($this->name != 'Users' && !in_array($this->action,
array('login', 'logout')))
{
/*
* check(ARO, ACO, [action])
*
*/
if ($this->Acl->check(array('model' => 'Group',
'foreign_key' => $this->Session->read('Auth.User.group_id')), $this-
>name, '*'))
{
var_dump('Allowed');
}
else
{
var_dump('Not Allowed');
return false;
}
}
}
