Hi there, trying to learn cakephp and loving it for the most part. But
just when I thought I'd finally figured out the acl and auth
components things started to get a bit weird.
A couple of nights ago I finally got everything working only to
discover that after an hour or two I had managed to break it somehow
and I was being denied permission to go to a certain action which I
should have been allowed to access (every other action that I expected
to be allowed seemed to work fine). So I went over everything I had
changed but couldn't spot the culprit, in fact I was pretty sure that
any changes I had made since it last worked had been changed back. So
after a couple of hours head scratching it all of a sudden seemed to
work again without me changing anything (at least thats how it
seemed).
Anyway, now it's not working again and I really don't think I have
touched anything since it was working. Although I have noticed that I
don't think it is clearing the session etc when I logout as it should
- could that be something to do with it?
I guess it's probably something I'm doing, cakephp seems to work fine
for everyone else. But I can't for the life of me figure it out. Is
there something I'm not aware of that could be causing this problem?
here's my beforefilter in my app_controller
function beforeFilter() {
//Configure AuthComponent
$this->Auth->authorize = 'actions';
$this->Auth->fields =
array('username'=>'email','password'=>'password');
$this->Auth->actionPath = 'controllers/';
$this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'home');
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' =>
'campaigns', 'action' => 'regcampaign');
$this->Auth->loginError = 'Invalid e-mail / password
combination.
Please try again';
$this->Auth->allow(array('display'));
$this->set('loggedIn', $this->Auth->user('id'));
}
and here's my register function in my users_controller which is meant
to redirect a user to the regcampaign action in my
campaigns_controller
function register() {
if ($this->Session->read('Auth.User')) {
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'campaigns',
'action' =>
'regcampaign'));
} else {
if(!empty($this->data)) {
if(isset($this->data['User']['password2'])) {
$this->data['User']['password2hashed']
= $this->Auth-
>password($this->data['User']['password2']);
}
if($this->User->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Your
registration was successful');
$firstlast =
$this->data['User']['first_name'] . '_' . $this-
>data['User']['last_name'];
$this->Session->write('user.email',
$this->data['User']
['email']);
$this->Session->write('user.name',
$firstlast);
$parent =
$this->Acl->Aro->findByAlias('Users');
$aro = new Aro();
$aro->create();
$aro->save(array('alias' =>
$this->data['User']['email'], 'model'
=> 'User', 'foreign_key' => $this->User->id, 'parent_id' =>
$parent['Aro']['id']));
$this->Acl->Aro->save();
//get the current users data and log
him in
$data = $this->User->read();
$this->Auth->login($data);
$this->redirect(array('controller' =>
'campaigns', 'action' =>
'regcampaign'));
} else {
$this->data['User']['password'] = '';
//$this->data['User']['password2'] = '';
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user
could not be saved. Please,
try again.', true));
}
}
}
}
here's the regcampaign function which is the action which I'm being
denied permission to
function regcampaign() {
$alias = 'regcampaign';
if ($this->Acl->check($this->Session->read('user.email'),
$alias,
'create')) {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Campaign->create();
if ($this->Campaign->save($this->data)) {
//$user =
$this->Session->read('user.email');
$name =
$this->Session->read('user.name');
$parent =
$this->Acl->Aco->findByAlias('Campaigns');
$alias = $name . '_' .
$this->Campaign->id;
$aco = new Aco();
$aco->create();
$aco->save(array('alias' => $alias,
'model' => 'Campaign',
'foreign_key' => $this->Campaign->id, 'parent_id' => $parent['Aco']
['id']));
$this->Acl->allow('users', $alias,
'read');
$this->Acl->allow($this->Session->read('user.email'), $alias);
//$this->Session->setFlash(__('The
campaign has been saved',
true));
$this->redirect(array('action' =>
'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The
campaign could not be saved.
Please, try again.', true));
}
}
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('You don\'t have permission
to register
a new campaign'));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
}
$users = $this->Campaign->User->find('list');
$charities = $this->Campaign->Charity->find('list');
$this->set(compact('users', 'charities'));
}
Like I said before this was all working at one point.
Any help at all would be most appreciated, I've been fiddling with
this for a couple of days and it's really doing my nut in
thanks
