Hi, Well i ended up writing a simple view helper that i have been using in my views like:
<?php if($this->canRoleViewActionLink('/articles/edit')): ?> <td> "<?php echo $this- url(array('controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'edit', 'articleID' => $article->getId())); ?>">Edit </td> <?php endif; ?> ...where the view helper queries the acl to see if the role has the privileges to perform the action. If not, the link is not rendered: class My_View_Helper_CanRoleViewActionLink extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract { public function canRoleViewActionLink($location){ $actionName = basename($location); $controllerName = dirname(ltrim($location, '/')); $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance(); $acl = new My_Model_Acl_Site(); if($auth->hasIdentity()){ $identity = $auth->getIdentity(); if(!$acl->has($controllerName)){ //resource doesn't exist in acl, therefore not a restricted resource - can be viewed return true; } if($acl->isAllowed($identity->role, $controllerName, $actionName)){ return true; }else{ return false; } } //no auth, therefore assume manual visit of link return false; } } ...so that's working so far, but ideally i was hoping for some way of integrating the acl into the link without the use of a separate view helper, the way that Zend_Nav does it. Is there any way of adding an acl/role parameter to the uri view helper, so the above can be achieved more simpler in something like the following manner: "<?php echo $this- url(array('controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'edit', 'articleID' => $article->getId(), 'role' => $auth->getRole(), 'resource' => 'article')); ?>">Edit ps. is there any way to post links on here without them being rendered as links? like a code button? -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Zend-Nav-acl-for-individual-links-tp1593312p1676633.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
