This depends on how you have set up the authentication/authorization system. 2. If so, set adminMenu (or the name you like) to true, else set it to false. You can even pass an array of the elements that conform the menu to the view. 3. In the layout: here comes the admin menu, you can make it static (if it fit's your application), render an element containing it, or even make a helper to take care of this. In order to keep things ordered and flexible, I would go making 1 and 2 in a component, but you can put them in the beforeFilter() of the AppController. > > > > On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 4:59 PM, Dardo Sordi Bogado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > Probably, I will check in the AppController::beforeFilter(); or even > > better make a component. > > > > Helpers are meant for the view, not the controller. > > > > Given the fact that I haven't read your code, and you haven't > > explained what are you trying to accomplish I can't give you further > > assistance. > > > > What I've suggested was that in the light of MVC, is better not to > > make ACL checks in the view, and let the view be a mere > > representational layer, not including business or application logic in > > it. > > > > Maybe you need to review the MVC pattern, and the relevant cakephp > > documentation. > > > > And in order to help you, you need to provide more details about what > > are you trying to do and what are your reasons to try to make that > > way. > > > > HTH, > > Dardo Sordi. > > > > > > > > > > > > On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 8:45 PM, . <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > what controller would i check in for the layout? or use helper? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 4:14 AM, Dardo Sordi Bogado > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > You don't.

basically in my layout ctp file, i have a navigation menu. If an Admin user logs in, I want the admin nav menu to appear.

Re: newbie acl question
Probably, I will check in the AppController::beforeFilter(); or even better make a component. Helpers are meant for the view, not the controller. Given the fact that I haven't read your code, and you haven't explained what are you trying to accomplish I can't give you further assistance. What I've suggested was that in the light of MVC, is better not to make ACL checks in the view, and let the view be a mere representational layer, not including business or application logic in it. Maybe you need to review the MVC pattern, and the relevant cakephp documentation. And in order to help you, you need to provide more details about what are you trying to do and what are your reasons to try to make that way. HTH, Dardo Sordi.

Re: newbie acl question
You don't. Check from controller/component and pass the allowed/denied to the view/layout.
