Re: Problem with Auth. with an AJAX Request
well, i haven't done this specifically so I'm not sure I can
demonstrate exactly how, but you probably either have to allow
('addToWatchlist') in your before filter then instead test if the
request comes from a logged in user in that action before you add the
link to the watch list. If it does NOT, you can serve up a login form
in a popup window via AJAX, but you won't be redirected unless you do
some kind of javascript XML or JSON test on the response.
The reason you don't redirect is that if you let auth handle the
'behind the scenes' request, it will simply re-route the request to
your default login redirect - probably the login page - which won't do
anything at all since you aren't doing anything with the request. You
should read up on AJAX. If you want to know how to serve up a login
form with AJAX and submit it start with a basic AJAX tutorial and go
from there?

Re: Problem with Auth. with an AJAX Request
Hi, I am not sure what else I could copy & paste from the sourcecode. I only have a normal login action, in my user controller, which only saves the last login and thats pretty much it. An Login AJAX action? How would this look? Have you got an example? Thanks.

Re: Problem with Auth. with an AJAX Request
all I can think of is that you don't have a login AJAX action set up
so the request dies without redirecting to a log in if you try to
access the link from not logged in? I dunno it's hard to tell from
your description. pastebin maybe?

Re: Problem with Auth. with an AJAX Request
Hi,
I have again read backwards and forwards through the www to find a
solution for my problem. I am sure that there is other people running
into the same issue. How do you guys solve it?
All I want is a link saying "Add article to watchlist" which than, if
the User is logged in writes it into the DB, Article gets shown again
and link changes to "In watchlist" and if User is not logged in
redirects to the Login Window with a message that you need to be
logged in to use this feature. All this should happen with AJAX. My
normal login is happening with Auth. and the typical stuff in the
beforeFilter() of the app_controller. In the watchlist controller I
have added
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->deny('addToWatchlist');
}
It should be very common and sometimesI think that maybe I am
searching for the wrong topic. Can anyone give me an advice? Thanks so
much.

Re: Problem with Auth. with an AJAX Request
Hi brian, thanks for your response. This is not really a solution I am looking for. I think the link should still be visible all the time and I can't imagine that cake and AJAX would not be able to handle this somehow. I am sure that someone has faced a similar issue before and I am hoping that they will share their solution. But thank you anyway.

Re: Problem with Auth. with an AJAX Request
An AJAX request returns a chunk of HTML (or other data) and isn't
going to handle the redirect properly. The simplest way to deal with
this is to only display the link if the user is logged in.

Problem with Auth. with an AJAX Request
Hi,
I am still pretty new to CakePHP, so I am sorry if this is a silly
issue I am dealing with. Ok, I am working on a site where you have
different sections which require a Login.
I therefore added the below Code into the app_controller
var $components = array('Auth');
var $helpers = array('Html','Form','Ajax','Javascript');
function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->allow('*');
$this->Auth->authorize = 'controller';
$this->Auth->userScope = array('User.confirmed' => '1');
$this->set('loggedIn', $this->Auth->user('id'));
$this->set('username', $this->Auth->user('username'));
}
function isAuthorized() {
return true;
}
So, all in all I allow all pages and than deny access to some
functions which are than directly in the controller. I thought that
this will be the easier way.
I have now got a link to add a new article. In my controller I than
have added this part:
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->deny('add');
}
As I planned, if you are not logged in, the Login Window shows up and
only when you logged in, the Form to add an article will show up.
So all this works and I thought I now go a step further. You can add
articles on your watchlist. Great, the article shows up, a link gets
displayed on top of it "Add article to watchlist" this time I want to
use an AJAX request.
So I created the AJAX link
echo $ajax->link(Add article to watchlist',
array('controller' => mylist, 'action' =>'add', $articledetail
['Article']['id']),
array('update' => 'message',
));
and added the below in my watchlist_controller
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->deny('add');
}
So, what happens now? When you are not logged in, the article does not
get add to your watchlist, but the Login Window does not show up.
Instead you just still see the article not knowing if anything
happened in the background.
Of course I would like the Login Window to show up and when you are
logged in the Article should be added to your watchlist, the article
should show up again and the link should change to "Article in
watchlist".
Why is this not working with AJAX Link and how to I get it to work? I
have read through the www, but can't find an answer. Maybe I am
looking for the wrong topic... Can anyone here help?
Look forward to some response. Thanks so much in advance.
Luke
