Cake 1.2 Final Auth Problems
I had auth working in 1.2RC3 just fine. What I wanted was all of the non-admin stuff to not need auth, but all of the admin stuff to have auth. Here is what my code used to look like
function beforeFilter() { $this->Auth->allow('*'); if (isset($this->params['admin'])) { $this->Auth->deny("*"); } }
That didn’t work in 1.2 final, here was the modification I had to make to get it working again.
function beforeFilter() { $this->Auth->allow('*'); // Allow Everything by default $admin = (Configure::read('Routing.admin')); $strlen = strlen($admin); foreach ($this->Auth->allowedActions as $key) { if (substr($key, 0, $strlen) == $admin) { $this->Auth->deny($key); // Disable an admin_ like action } } if (is_a($this, "UsersController")) { $this->Auth->deny('login'); } if (isset($this->params['admin'])) { $this->layout='admin'; } if ($this->RequestHandler->isAjax()) { $this->layout='ajax'; } }
That seemed to fix it up. Go figure.
