My fellow bakers, As I found myself in the need of having a highly customizable ACL system for a CakePHP application I'm developing, I'm going ahead with something some people asked in the past if it could be available.
The issues with this application that prevented me from using CakePHP's builtin ACL, which is very strong BTW, were among others: 1. I needed a fine grained set of permissions. 2. I needed AROs to belong to more than one group. 3. I needed collision handling. So I'm now working on a component that provides a wrapper for phpGACL (using its latest version, 3.3.7), so that it hides the inner complexities of phpGACL from CakePHP applications. I'm setting it up to use the 3D layer system (AROs, ACOs, and AXOs) to allow greater flexibility (so I can do stuff like: this action can be accessed via Web, but can't be accessed via RSS for this particular user, interesting when using CakePHP 1.2 automatic content type management) I'm expecting to finish the component tomorrow. The component, as I said, will be a programmatic wrapper. I'm also planning to build a plugin that'll offer the manipulation of these permissions, but have yet not established when I'll start with that. Anyway, I've just wanted to drop a note if anyone was looking for the same. -MI --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember, smart coders answer ten questions for every question they ask.
