Hi there, I've scoured the manual, api, groups, whole internet etc. to try and find a reason why I'm hitting this problem all to no avail, so hopefully somebody can at least give me a hint what it might be!
It's pretty simple - I've got a controller that, at the moment (for debugging purposes), does a beforeFilter check like this: function beforeFilter() { $user = $this->Session->read('User'); $aroNode = $this->User->getAroNode($user); $acoNode = array('model' => 'WebsiteSection', 'foreign_key' => $this- >section); if (! $this->Acl->check($aroNode,$acoNode,"*")) echo "NO"; ... } Of course I've defined my components at the top: var $components = array('Acl'); Unfortunately this is what I get in the browser: Fatal error: Call to a member function check() on a non-object in C: \Apps\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\cake\cake\libs\controller\components \acl.php on line 88 (or thereabouts - I've put some of my own debug statements in there) Things I've tried: - printing out $this->components to make sure Acl is loaded. It is. - putting this stuff in my own app_controller. Makes no difference. It DOES work if I put the code in an action, say 'index' or 'view'. It just doesn't seem to be happy in beforeFilter, which is ideally where I'd like it to be. As far I can tell, I don't think the 'startup' method in acl.php is being executed. This means _instance isn't being set, and so the line in question in acl.php fails: return $this->_instance->check($aro, $aco, $action); Even if I explicity call startup from my own code, that just results in some error about an unknown Model class which I can't even begin to understand! A lot of the ACL examples put stuff in beforeFilter, so I'm pretty sure it must be possible - but no-one seems to have come across my problem before. I'd be grateful for any ideas as it's driving me mad (especially as I thought I was making headway understanding ACL!).
