Okay, that works, but it's creating a weird side effect. This is the
line that I've added to my AppointmentsController to import access to
the Template model:
var $uses = array('Appointment','Template');
When I add this, my non-authenticated add function works fine, however
the edit, which checks for access, is broken. I'm doing access this
way:
function beforeFilter()
{
$this->Auth->authorize = 'controller';
}
function isAuthorized() {
if ($this->action == 'index' || $this->action == 'add') {
return true;
} else {
if(!empty($this->data)) {
$appointment = $this->data;
} else {
$appointment = $this->Appointment->read();
}
if( CHECKING CODE FOR VALID ACCESS ) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
Now, with the $uses line commented out, everything in these functions
works when I go to /appointments/edit/##. With the $uses line in, this
line:
$appointment = $this->Appointment->read();
no longer works. It returns false. It's like the id at the end of the
URL is no longer being passed through. Any ideas about why this is
happening?
Thanks for your help,
Wayne.
