Yes, that's right. I did add the view action to Auth->allow in my pagescontroller instead of the * char. But then I get errors, Firefox not being able to load any pages. So I have to add a * to my pagescontroller and then deny access to admin functions such as "add" Strange isn't it? On 20 feb, 19

Re: I can't get ACL-Auth to work

When you use $this->Auth->allow('*') it overrides ACL for ALL of the actions in the controller. Just change the code to allow only the actions you want allowed. If you only want to allow the index and view actions, use this: $this->Auth->allow('index', 'view'); You will then need to fill your `

Actually, in this case I only need a single, unchanging image to do the work, but I'll be needing them in another project. I had looked at the API to see if adding a CSS class would work and assumed it wouldn't when I didn't see 'class' in $options. I tested it out and it works like this, though:

Anything posted from a form is automagically made available to the controller in the $this->data array so you would be wanting to access. $this->data['BookingPosition']['number_adults'] etc. This work may be better handled by custom validation rules though: http://book.cakephp.org/view/150/Custom
