I'm new to learning cakephp so firstly thanks to the developers (esp the core team) who have put so much effort into cake, it looks like it's going to be great when I finally figure it all out.
I'm following the tutorial http://book.cakephp.org/view/1549/An-Automated-tool-for-creating-ACOs#!/view/1543/Simple-Acl-controlled-Application - I have to admit that I'm loosely following it and suiting bits to my needs but I'm basically following it. I'd set it all up but it wasn't working properly in that it wasn't allowing me to access any functions in the posts controller when it was supposed to be allowing me. I just kept getting 'you are not authorized...' messages. In another tutorial I then read through it said that I should have $this->Auth->userModel = 'User'; in the beforefilter of my users controller and posts controller. When I put that line in things started to work. So I'm confused now. Is the tutorial wrong or have I got the wrong end of the stick? do I need $this->Auth->userModel = 'User'; in every controller beforefilter or not? Or can I stick it in the beforefilter of app_controller? Do I need it at all? thanks -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
