i'm new to cake and i'm struggling with the Auth and ACL. i've been trying to follow the tutorial from the website. so i have a users table that has a username, password, group_id columns. then i have a groups table that has group_id and name columns. i run the build acl command to create the 3 tables for aro, aco and the the joined data tables. but that's where i get lost. i'm using cakephp 1.2.8.
before i used cake i would store sessions with user id and group. each page checks if the session value of the logged in user matches what the page is looking for. if it does, it allows the user to view the page. is it the same way with cake? it looks like the access is checked in the controller level. are there other tutorials that i can follow that is a bit easier to follow than the website? are there other ways of accomplishing auth and acl? i really would like to understand how it works. this framework saves so much time developing so i hope i can pass this roadblock. thanks in advance Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
