A simple way to do this is to use the admin routing.
so /admin/users/index would look like so:
<?
UsersController extents AppController
{
....
function checkAdmin()
{
admin checking goes here (or put this method in your
app_controller.php for other controllers to use, or a component)
}
function admin_index()
{
$this->checkAdmin();
other stuff here
}
}
?>
This is how i do it in most of my apps for simple auth when acl seems
like using a sledge hammer to put a pin in a wall
