Hi all, Firstly, I'm new to CakePHP (and am mightlily impressed with it so far!), and I did try to find an answer to what I'm about to ask, by doing RTFM-ing. I have not found such an answer, so I'm asking it here. I hope I'm not flogging a dead horse by doing so, or otherwise go against the grain of this list...
Then: the question at hand, is that in virtually no time I have to build a rather extensive system for performing elaborate online questionaires, including detailed reporting capabilities using JPGraph functions, user bases, etc. Sooo, little time for lots of things to do, and therefore I really want to make use of the scaffolding mechanism in order to handle the admin side of matters, and then just create regular user views, where the end-users will never end up in a scaffolded view. So, my question basically winds down to how to best achieve this. What I really want is (only explained for users, but valid for whatever type of data is database driven) something like: 1-Use different user levels (I've got that covered in the users table scheme). 2-Enable a login mechanism (for now, I'll leverage the tutorial code, and change as needed). 3-If possible, code one UsersController, which allows for normal (i.e. non-scaffolded) views for users of level 1 (i.e. normal users), and scaffolded (admin routed?) views for users of levels 2 (i.e. administrators). 4-Use the user level of the currently logged in user to switch between these views, using a beforeFilter - checksession trick (as shown in the authentication tutorial), but then actively choosing between different routes too. Step 3 and 4 are key here. I hope it's possible to easily switch between routes, and have only the admin one using scaffolding and the other route not. Can anyone tell me if this is possible (and if so: how to achieve this), or if there are better ways to achieve (almost) the same functionality? Tnx in advance, and cheers, MM --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
