I would like to write a Helper which would check if a given link is
authorized for the current user.
I'm using CakePHP 2.0. I'm using the AuthComponent with controller
authorization. So my authorization logic goes into isAuthorized callbacks.
The idea would be to have a helper used in this manner :
$this->MyAuthHelper->link(__('Edit'), array('action' => 'edit',
$user['User']['id']));
The MyAuthHelper would check if the current controller action edit with the
passed parameter is accessible for the current user. If that's the case, it
returns the link, otherwise it returns nothing.
I manage to parse the url this way : $parsedUrl =
Router::parse(Router::normalize(Router::url($url)));
But then I would like to call the AuthComponent::isAuthorized method,
passing the requested url.
I see in AuthComponent the method : public function isAuthorized($user =
null, $request = null)
So I could write something like : isAuthorized(null, new
CakeRequest($parsedUrl, false)) // false parameter to prevent to parse
the environment ie. GET, POST, FILES
But how could I access the AuthComponent from my helper ?? It seems to
break the MVC. Any great ideas out there ?
Thanks for reading.
