unique: If true (default value) cake will first delete existing relationship records in the foreign keys table before inserting new ones, when updating a record. So existing associations need to be passed again when updating.

I.e., the two that I needed were /tags/findastory and /tags/taglist, so to make these work, the rule I used was « //tags/findastory or //tags/taglist »

I hope this helps someone out there

I’m using requestAction() within an element to call a function within a controller which then returns a list of genres for display across the top of the site. (I don’t know if this makes any diffrence, but within the function I’m using if(isset($this->params['requested'])) to check that it’s not being called directly.

I’ve gone into the admin system and added an allow rule for everyone giving access to /tags/* – but it’s not working. In firefox it’s just timing out, and in other browsers it only gets as far as displaying everything up until where the element starts.

It works when logged in as an admin, but not for anyone else.

header(« Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate »); // HTTP/1.1
header(« Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT »); // Date in the past

in
user_controller.php in logout method,
because some browsers do use cache (not surprising) causing some problem when logging out.

I am trying to use the isAllowed() function from Authake outside of the regular Authake functionality. I have created a database-driven menu system for my application and I want to « pre-test » rights to any menus and actions, meaning that if Authake does not allow you to go to the « budgets » controller, then the menu will not even show you « Budgets » as an option.

This is simplified, but in both the controller and view for my « menus » system I have tried various things like:

$path= »/budgets »;
if ($authak3->isAllowed($path)){
echo $menuitem;
}

No matter what I supply for $path, I can’t get a return value of TRUE

I was not sure about scope of these functions but I look and see $authak3->getLogin(); being referenced in views and I can call that from any view, so I wonder what I am missing as far as passing a path/action string to isAllowed()?

Note: when I try to call $authak3->getLogin() from the controller, it does not work. Not sure why. If I can, I would like to do all of this work in the menus controller — test each menu items for access rights as soon as they are read out of DB into an array, then only send allowed menu items to the view.

Any bright ideas appreciated!

line: if(preg_match(« /{$data['Rule']['action']}/i », $url, $matches))

I think the correct expression should be

if(preg_match(« /^{$data['Rule']['action']}$/i », $url, $matches))

otherwise default rule « / » will match any url pattern starting with ‘/’.

—————————————————————————————————
// Function to check the access for the controller / action
function _areGroupsAllowed($url = «  », $rules) { // $checkStr: « /name/action/ » $group_ids: check again thess groups
$allow = false;
foreach( $rules as $data ) {
if(preg_match(« /{$data['Rule']['action']}/i », $url, $matches)) {
$allow = $data['Rule']['permission'];
if ($allow == ‘Deny’)
$allow = false;
else
$allow = true;
}
}
return $allow;
}

i fixed a litte this for me.
Because I ues this very cool migration script:
http://developingwithstyle.com/2008/10/07/cakephp-db-migrations-v40-is-now-stable/
i translated your sql script to an yml file.
Unfortunately the enum type isn´t defined…

So I found
http://grahamweldon.com/blog/ditching-enum-for-something-more-portable-and-maintainable-with-cakephp

and decided to:
1. change the enum type to a string,
2. added a var var $permissiontypes = array(‘Allow’=>’Allow’, ‘Deny’ => ‘Deny’); to your rule model
3. fixed in the rules_controller the $permissions = $this->Rule->getEnumValues(‘permission’); to $permissions = $this->Rule->permissiontypes;

… now it works fine for me

Thanks!

Matthias

Thanks for your comment.

Sorry but authake and cake are very far from me now! Reuse and improve as you think it’s better. If you need access to the cakeforge project I opened, maybe we can manage that with the bakery team.

Cheers,
Jerome

Thanks every thing works fine for me!

Any idea?

I find a problem, if i delete a default rule are generated a lot of redirection to authake/user/login, to resolve this problem i put, in function

function isAllowed($url = «  », $group_ids = null)

before

foreach( $rules as $data )

this code

if ($url= »/authake/user/login ») return true;

Thank very much for your big and important work for open source community.

Sorry to answer so late. As you know I am a bit far away of authake and cake, and maybe more now.

I think this software has just to live as the GPL licence allows it, that’s the less.

Marco, I guess you are the obvious person to open a repository in your name, as my code is based on you model. Just respect the terms of the GPL 3 of course, and put some greetings somewhere if you wish!

Thanks Jim for all your contributions (Marco, give him a password )

I hope you will make authake survive in the big cloud )

Good luck, read you.
