Here's another nice feature of cf_bodycontent, highly adaptable to your own
needs:
While creating the need for a comprehensive security mechanism for my latest
fusebox effort (no, I'm not using Steve's (ahem) wonderful app_secure
model), I created a custom tag called <cf_secureCheck>. This tag can be
wrapped in anything you want secured like this:
<cf_secureCheck ...>
<a href="link to admin">
</cf_secureCheck>
But if you skip the closing </cf_secureCheck>, this fine tag can also just
get chucked into the top of a fuseaction, or a fuse or anywhere in the site,
and any request that finds one of these tags requires the secureCheck to
validate.
cf_secureCheck takes a few variables like roleID, groupID, objectID - stuff
like that. The actual validation isn't the cool part. It just does
validation based on who has what permissions to do what. The neat part is
that it works in conjunction with cf_bodycontent by setting
request.bodycontent to a validation error message if the validation
requested by cf_secureCheck failed. Inside cf_secureCheck, if the validation
fails, I set the global-ish request scope variable request.bodycontent to be
an error message and in a *slightly* modified (changed a cfset to a cfparam)
cf_bodycontent, it outputs the contents.
Since we're using cf_bodycontent already, all the developers have to do is
call this handy secureCheck tag for any validation they require. If they
don't include a closing </cf_secureCheck> tag, then the headers and footers
still stay the same, _but_ the body on the page is not displayed (because
the fuseaction requested is not available to the given user).
Don't be afraid to take a look inside bodycontent. Using open and close
custom tags is really powerful. On the same note, look inside
formUUL2attributes. There are a few neat things inside it, and you can even
modify it to copy application scope vars to request scope, which eliminates
the need to call the application scope for reads!
