I have to agree with Zaky on this; ACL is a killer for small apps. Even with my large scale project, there was a point where I wanted (among other things, I am 100% responsible for ACL) to throw it away and implement my own, not so cakish, but a working solution. It took a lot of research to make it work the way we needed it.. but you know what - at the end you forget about it all, when you come up with a nice code that does exactly what you want.
I say stick to ACL, and you'll see how it will make your code easier to read and maintain, esp. if you are working on a team. And you can always reuse your ACL code for future projects. - Muhammed On Apr 27, 6:54 am, WebbedIT <[email protected]> wrote: > @Zaky: > I'm really pleased that you managed to get your head around ACL, but I > have to disagree with you and say it's is a lot more complex than the > other solutions offered. > > The very fact that there is a need to write a "Be brave and stick with > it" paragraph in the cookbook proves that a lot of people have > difficulty in implementing ACL so, whilst I am sure you have the best > intentions at heart, it's a little condescending to tell us it's not > complicated at all and that we just need to clean our minds and try > again. > > I'm not saying ACL is not a very powerful tool, and I'm sure there > will come a day when I need to use it, but I stand by my opinion that > it is overkill for most small apps. > > Paul > > Check out the new CakePHP Questions sitehttp://cakeqs.organd help others with > their CakePHP related questions. > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "CakePHP" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] For more options, visit this group > athttp://groups.google.com/group/cake-php?hl=en Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
