#6153: [PATCH] Add findAllowedChildren to the ACL component --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: aidan | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Low Milestone: 1.2.x.x | Component: ACL (Access Control List) Version: 1.2 Final | Severity: Normal Keywords: ACL | Php_version: PHP 5 Cake_version: SVN r8013 | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- It is common to want to display a list of resources a user has access to. For example, a list of Posts that the user has access to edit.
There should be a generic method that allows the user to specify the root of the ACO tree they wish to search, what Model they wish to check, and what ARO to check against. I thus propose getAllowedChildren($model, $aco, $aro); <?php $aro = array('model' => 'User', 'foreign_key' => $this->Auth->user('id')); $aco = 'Posts'; $fks = $this->Acl->findAllowedChildren('Paper', $aro, $aco); $posts = $this->find('all', array('conditions' => array('id' => $fks))); ?> I believe similar functions exist in both rails and django (but I couldn't find them from glimpsing through the manual). My implementation is very basic and very, very inefficient. I just whipped it up to demonstrate proof of concept. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/6153> CakePHP : The Rapid Development Framework for PHP <https://trac.cakephp.org/> Cake is a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC.
