Redirect Loop
Hello-
I'm having the weirdest Cake error with my code. When the code below calls
the add() method (also reproduced here and from a different controller),
the code redirects him back the edit() action (in essence, to the user it
appears as if nothing happens). To further complicate matters, when I call
the same URL when I'm not on that page (despite the pages not being reliant
on each other), I get redirected to the base of my app, which results in a
redirect loop. I tried calling other methods from this controller (with
their proper arguments) to see if this was just a problem with the add()
action, but I get the same redirect loop.
Here is the relevant code:
function edit($id=null) {
if(!$id) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Invalid!');
$this->redirect(array(
'action' => 'index')
);
}
else {
//Get the slides themselves
$slides = $this->Slide->find('all', array('conditions' =>
array('Slide.module_id' => $id)));
$this->set('slides', $slides);
//Get the data for the Module
$module = $this->Module->find('first',
array(
'conditions' => array (
'Module.id' => $id
),
'fields' => array(
'Module.module_name',
'Module.id')
)
);
}
}
And here is the add() code (again, from a different module):
function add($module = null) {
if ($this->request->is('get')) {
//Set some variables for the view (this code I know
works as it has been used successfully elsewhere
}
else { //User is POSTing
$this->Slide->create();
$this->Slide->save($this->data);
}
}
Thanks to everyone in advance; I couldn't do this without your support!

The Auth->allow() should be in UsersController.

Authorization causing redirect loop
Hi there,
I have posted on another group, but had no replies, so please forgive
me if this is a double up.
I am still fairly new at cake and have been trying, very
unsuccessfully to setup a login to some admin tools on a site I have
built using Cake 2.
I have now tried about 4 different methods for implementing the Auth
component and every time I add the Auth component to my AppController,
I get a redirect loop error.
Even if I go to a supposedly "allowed" page, this happens. I have just
finished doing a tutorial on yet another Auth implementation and have
setup the tutorials app fine and it works perfectly. But the minute I
port this across to my app, it gives me the redirect loop error.
Since I have now tried this with 4 different Auth implementations, my
assumption is that the issue is not in the Auth implementation code,
but in my origional Cake app. But, I cannot fathom where to start
looking and what exactly I am looking for.
I am pasting the current AppController Auth code below. The problem
appears to happen when the redirect to users/login happens. I have
tried turning redirect off with autoRedirect = false. I have tried
changing where the redirect should go as well. none seems to work.
Any ideas on where the problem might lie would be much appreciated.
Here's the code for the AppController:
array(
'loginRedirect'=>array('controller'=>'users',
'action'=>'index'),
'logoutRedirect'=>array('controller'=>'users',
'action'=>'index'),
'authError'=>"You can't access that page",
'authorize'=>array('Controller')
)
);
public function isAuthorized($user) {
return true;
}
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->allow('index', 'view');
$this->set('logged_in', $this->Auth->loggedIn());
$this->set('current_user', $this->Auth->user());
}
}
?>
Thanks in advance,
Nikki

It works fine for me, maybe because my CakePHP site is configured at the root
of the hostname's URL space, and yours appears to be in a subdirectory
("/cakebox/").

Re: cakephp-wizard Redirect Loop
Ah! Stupid mistake, my apologies. Somewhat of a follow-up question
though...
The author of the tutorial you referenced mentioned submitting the form to
itself using 'url' => $this->here for the form created. This doesn't work
for me due to the following behavior:
Page the form is on:
http://localhost/cakebox/create/wizard/artifact
Form definition in my artifact.ctp view:
Form->create('Create', array('id' => 'CreateForm', 'url'
=> $this->here)); ?>
Page the form sends me to upon submission:
http://localhost/cakebox/cakebox/create/wizard/artifact
It's obvious what is doing, but I just want to understand why the author
included this on the tutorial when I can't see how it would ever work as
intended.

Re: cakephp-wizard Redirect Loop
The first thing I see is that your wizard() method assigns the
parameter to the "$steps" variable, but never uses $steps within the
method itself -- it passes the "$step" variable to $this->Wizard-
>process(), and you haven't defined the value of the "$step" variable.
I'm assuming you are trying to adapt the code from
https://github.com/jaredhoyt/cakephp-wizard/wiki/Step-2:-View-Preparation-and-Data-Processing
. Note the name of the variable being used for the parameter in the
function wizard().

cakephp-wizard Redirect Loop
I have installed the cakephp-wizard plugin from github and am trying to
progress through the tutorial but am unable to get past step one...
I have set up a controller to handle the multi-page form as follows:
class CreateController extends AppController {
var $name = "Create";
var $components = array("Wizard.Wizard");
var $uses = array("Artifact");
function beforeFilter() {
$this->Wizard->steps = array("artifact");
}
function wizard($steps = null) {
$this->Wizard->process($step);
}
function _prepareArtifact() {
// TODO
}
function _processArtifact() {
$this->Artifact->set($this->data);
if($this->Artifact->validates()) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
I have created a view for this controller in app/views/create/ called
artifact.ctp which contains a simple creation form.
I have re-routed in app/config/routes.php so that /create points to
/create/wizard/artifact.
When I try to navigate to the page Chrome (and Firefox, etc.) tells me that
there is a redirect loop. Is cakephp-wizard broken in cakephp 1.3.7, or
(more likely) am I doing something stupid?

Re: redirect loop has me stumped
I found my problem. It was two problems really.
The first problem was that $post was not set in the controller. The
second problem was a misplaced parentheses in the redirect function.
The third problem was I was creating urls that were hyphenated but
forgot to add the second parameter to the Inflector::slug() function
so that it was looping around never getting a match.

Ok sorry. Here's a more full explanation:
In my index.ctp I have links that look like this: Html->link($post['Post']['title'], array('controller' => 'posts',
'action' => 'view', $post['Post']['id'],Inflector::slug($post['Post']

Then in the PostsController view() method, this is what it looks like:
function view($id = null) {
if (!$id) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid post', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
$post = $this->set('post', $this->Post->read(null, $id));

$post = $this->Post->read(null, $id);
$this->redirect(array($id, Inflector::slug($post['Post']

}
}

redirect loop has me stumped
Hi Everyone,
I need some help with a redirect loop...
Consider the following code (from Super Advanced CakePHP tips page
43-44 http://www.scribd.com/doc/19344870/Super-Awesome-Advanced-CakePHP-Tips)
if(Inflector::slug($post['Post']['title']) != $this->params['pass']
[1] || count($this->params['pass']) != 2 ) {
$post = $this->Post->read(null, $id);
$this->redirect(array($id, Inflector::slug($post['Post']
['title']), 301));
}
}
Any ideas why this would cause a redirect loop?

Don't include login action here as it causes problems for Auth. The
login action is special and Auth takes care of allowing it.
But, besides that, I see that you have set autoRedirect to false. Do
you also have some logic in your login() method?
Does anyone else think that Auth::allow() should simply ignore 'login'
if it's passed? It seems a bit absurd that this action name should be
so troublesome. It should be trivial to add some code to check if it
was passed in.

Auth Login redirect loop
Hi Guys,
I'm using CakePhp 1.3 and the Auth component.
Heres my setup for the beforeFilter in the app_controller.php
function beforeFilter() {
if (isset($this->params['requested'])) $this->Auth-
>allow($this->action);
$this->Auth->userModel = 'Applicant';
$this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'email', 'password'
=> 'password');
$this->Auth->loginAction = array('admin' => false,
'controller' => 'applicants', 'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' =>
'applicants', 'action' => 'profile');
$this->Auth->authorize = 'controller';
$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
}
Here's the applicants_controller.php
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->allow(array('login', 'logout'));
}
I could access the login page on /applicants/login, but when you
submit the login form with a correct login details
a redirect loop occurs. But you could access the others functions when
you've type the url manually on the browser.
Here's the log on the applicants controller's beforeFilters :
2010-06-18 20:09:45 Debug: Here: /jobs/applicants/login, coming from: /
applicants/login
2010-06-18 20:09:46 Debug: Here: /jobs/applicants/login, coming from: /
applicants/login

Re: BeforeFilter Redirect Loop
You have to make sure that the beforeFilter method allows the user to
access /admin/index!
So add a check that if it is admin/index, then do not redirect :)
Enjoy,

Re: Redirect loop using Auth + Acl component
Thanks guys. I think I figured it out. I was using the Drayan's
version of the phpThumb component from the bakery (http://
bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/phpthumb-component). I found another
post that says the phpThumb component should extent Object and not
Component. I made that change and my redirect loops have disappeared.
Can anyone tell me why?

Re: Redirect Loop
Since someone emailed me off the list to inquire about this, I thought
I'd post my fix for the problem for those who find this in the future.
Here's what I wrote in my email:
It turned out that I had moved some code in the layout that was trying
to check against Auth. I have this code in my app_controller.php file:
function beforeFilter(){
if ($role = $this->Auth->user('role')) {
$this->set('user_info', $this->Auth->user());
}
}
I check for that $user_info variable in the layout. I'm not sure
exactly what caused the problem but I'm pretty sure that was the root
of it. Here's what the layout has:
if (isset($user_info)) {
// display the username and some other info
}
I was modifying the layout and put that part of the code at the very
beginning. The effect was that the code was run before the page could
be rendered so that even when I went to log in, it was being checked,
thus trying to redirect me toward the login page. I think it went
something like this:
1. I tried to access a page that was protected by Auth.
2. I was redirected to the login page
3. The login page tried to check for $user_info which wasn't set
because I hadn't logged in. Since it was checking before the page
rendered, it kept redirecting without ever rendering the page until
Firefox decided that it was an infinite loop (it was) and stopped
trying.
At least I think that's what was happening. As soon as I moved that
section down into a part of the page that would be run after the page
started to render, it solved my problem. It was bizarre. You wouldn't
think that modifying a layout would send the application into an
infinite loop. In retrospect it makes sense if my understanding of the
problem is correct. In any case, the problem was solved.

Redirect Loop
I've been working on a local copy of my CakePHP app that runs on a my computer. Today I've only been working on a layout and the style sheet. I took a break and went back to it which prompted a new login. Suddenly I'm getting a redirect loop. Firefox gives me this following message: Redirect Loop Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete. * Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site? * NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer. Any thoughts on what might cause that if I wasn't working in the a controller?

Re: Auth + Custom Login + isAuthorized = Infinite Redirect Loop
Nevermind everyone. I was being an idiot. My loginRedirect was to a
place that required authorization. As soon as I changed it some a
general controller and action that ALL loggged in users had access to,
I was fine.

Auth + Custom Login + isAuthorized = Infinite Redirect Loop
I believe I'm having a similar problem as :
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/6d672c98ae0557d5/c07ecd162209eab7
I'm using controller authorization, so there is a isAuthorized() in my
app_controller.php which goes off of a simple $this->Auth-
>user('role').
I'm pretty much working off of the examples in the Cook Book:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/172/authentication
I have the same login() function.
This is what I've noticed.
After isAuthorized returns false (user logs in, but is not authorized)
I get redirected to:
$controller->redirect($this->noaccessRedirect, null, true); (from
Auth::isAuthorized() )
This sends me back to my login page (which is fine), however (and I'm
assuming here) Auth::startup gets called again, thus
Auth::isAuthorized() gets called again, and the whole thing starts
over and over again.
If I clear out the UsersController::login(), then every thing works
fine.
Can someone with more experiece help me out, or do I submit a ticket.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cakephp 1.2 AuthComponent Redirect Loop
Hi, I've followed through several AuthComponent tutorials and found http://myeasyscripts.com/loudbaking/how-to-use-authcomponent-in-cakephp/ to be to my liking as it has a nice implementation that makes code in each controller very easy to use to allow/deny access. I've gotten it to work as far as registering new users, doing a login and redirection to a page (non-protected). But from there whenever I try to access a protected page I get an infinite redirect and my page never resolves. This is my current app_controller.php http://pastebin.com/f5e71c181 I've tried changing around some configuration of the autoRedirect and the loginRedirect but nothing seems to solve my problem. So hopefully someone can help me out with this, thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
