Unfortunately that did not work for me. I ended up using the check()
method in my app_controller to determine access:
var $userId = null;
function beforeFilter()
{
if (null != ($this->userId = $this->Auth->user('id')))
{
// what user is trying to access
$page = $this->params['controller'] . '/' .
$this->params
['action'];
// check if user can access page.
if (!$this->Acl->check(array('User' => $this->userId),
$page))
$this->Redirect->flashWarning('You do not have
access to this
page.', array('controller' =>'pages', 'action' => 'unauthorized'));
}
}
Where Redirect->flashWarning is a flash/redirect method in my own
RedirectComponent.
Everything seems to work just fine. Is there a reason I shouldn't use
this method?
