As I've only been using CakePHP for about a week now, I certainly did jump head first in to what seems like one of the harder areas to understand: ACL in version 1.2. From what I can tell, I am beginning to understand how it works, and slowly getting accustomed to the "CakePHP way".
According to the following mailing list archive: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/6262436a44dc38ec/c0fe68290689a938?lnk=gst&q=acl+behavior+alias#c0fe68290689a938 ... in order to update the alias field in my ARO/ACO models, I should be using an afterSave method in the model of the instance that was just created (I kind of figured that anyway). However...as I am new, I'm not really sure how I can go about doing this. Once I get to the afterSave() method, printing out the value of $this only shows the newly saved instance's data (and any related models' data). Do I need to run a direct database query on the ARO/ACO table, or is there an object within Cake that I can use to modify pre-saved data within the ARO / ACO tables? Running a direct query to the database just seems like it's not the Cake way... Also...why does the AclBehavior not offer a way to specify the alias upon save if the alias is necessary for most of the Auth/ACL functionality? Is there any reasoning behind it? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
