Hi,
I'm fairly comfortable with the CakePHP ACL mechanism even though she
can be a little tough to manage at first. I have however come by some
curious behavior using CakePHP 1.3 and the suggested Acts As a
Requester code here:-
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1547/Acts-As-a-Requester
My problem is this:-
When a new user record is created $this->data correctly contains a
value for [User][group_id] - however if you are just updating a field
within a user record $this->data will not contain any value for [User]
[group_id] and thus code suggested in the book will return a null.
This hence sets the corresponding users ARO record to have a NULL
parent_id -- ouch.
At this stage I don't know if the problem is my code or if it is a
genuine problem with the suggested code in the docs. The example code
has been this way for quite some time so I'm finding it hard be
believe I'm the first to notice and report this.
I've resolved by adjusting the code in parentNode() in the manner
below.
Anyway, before I go ahead and attempt to adjust the online docs for a
topic that is already a challange to understand can anyone else
confirm/deny the problem I'm seeing here? Do note that my "Group"
model is named "UserGroup" and not just Group.
Cheers,
N
/**
* parentNode
*
* @return mixed
*/
function parentNode() {
if (!$this->id && empty($this->data)) {
return null;
}
if (empty($this->data) or !isset($this->data['User']
['user_group_id'])) {
$data = $this->read('user_group_id');
}
else {
$data = $this->data;
}
return array('UserGroup' => array('id' => $data['User']
['user_group_id']));
}
