Im setting up my first acl app. Ive tried a number of tutorials but all of them seem to have gaps in between instructions leaving me at a deadend.
I figure Im just going to use the Simple ACL tutorial at: http://book.cakephp.org/view/641/Simple-Acl-controlled-Application But I run into the same problems. Ive installed a fresh copy of cake 1.2. Ive created my tables per the tutorial. Heres where I get stuck though. The tutorial like all others Ive dealt with skip steps here. The tutorial says at this point: "Use cake bake to quickly create your models, controllers, and views. Leave out admin routing for now, this is a complicated enough subject without them. Also be sure not to add either the Acl or Auth Components to any of your controllers as you are baking them. We'll be doing that soon enough. You should now have models, controllers, and baked views for your users, groups, posts and widgets." 1. My question here is, when I go into my console to build these mvc's for the users, groups, posts, and widgets there are many options that the console asks you. So where is the info on how exactly I should set up my mvc's for this tutorial? For the controller should I build controller interactively?, include class methods?, use scaffolding?, etc....In my models should I add validation fields? define model association: has many, belongs to, etc.... On the following page of the tutorial it states: "We now have a functioning CRUD application. Bake should have setup all the relations we need, if not add them in now. " 2. So here it says we now have a functioning CRUD application. So I guess that means in my 1st question I should of created my controllers with class methods? Anyway the part that says "Bake should have setup all the relations we need, if not add them in now." is stumping me. So what are these relations? is this referring to the has many, belongs to associations? If so, what are the relations this tutorial wants me to setup. Which tables belong to many and which ones are hbabt? After reading through this google group I had found some people saying they followed this tutorial and got it up and running with no problem. I do acknowledge that it is my level of cake experience (or lack of I should say) that makes this confusing for me. But any help on this would be extremely appreciated.
