I'm sorry, I'm just one of those guys that no matter how much you pound it into my head, I can't really get this ACL thing.
That's why I used obAuth. Just search the bakery for it. It does basic group and user logins, which is all I need for right now. I just overrode the app_controller, and stuck the lock() function in the beforeFilter() if isset($this->['param']['admin']) Again, my Cake advice always comes with the grain of salt that: When I did this I needed it right then. Refreshing my PHP skills and learning Cake were already daunting enough, without ACL to muddy the waters. -- Baz L Web Development 2.0: Web Design, CakePHP, Javascript http://www.WebDevelopment2.com/ On 9/4/07, Langdon Stevenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Howard > > Howard Glynn wrote: > > My cake1.2 intranet app has a large pool of users (employees), all of > > whom interact with the models (objects) through varying lifecycles, > > and works well. > > <snip> > > > I can't believe I'm the only one to face this, can anyone offer any > insight > > on which direction they have chosen? > > > I have become a fan of ACL over a number of projects.
