Question

I have set up Auth and ACL successfully on my cakePHP app.

How, now i want to build an interface for managing the ACL s, ARO s and ACO s

ARO s and ACO s where pretty easy to build using the tree behavior. ACL how ever got me a little messed up... especially when it came to defining the model relations.

I ve named my aco and aro models Myaco and Myaro respectivly, since Aco and Aro are already taking by the AclComponent., my ACL model is Myacl.

Myaco is a "standalone" object, it isn t related to any other model. Myaro "belongsTo" Customer model (which is my "user" model) and defined as so:

//Myaro model
var $belongsTo = array( Customer => array(
                                         foreignKey     =>  foreign_key 
                                        ));

Now the Myacl model as i understand it, is a $hasAndBelongsToMany -> Myaco and Myaro since its a table that joins two other models; as such i ve set it up like this:

class Myacl extends AppModel {
    var $useTable =  aros_acos ;
    var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
         Myaro  => array(
                         foreignKey  =>  aro_id ,
                         associationForeignKey  =>  id ,
                         joinTable  =>  aros_acos 
                    ),
         Myaco  => array(
                         foreignKey  =>  aco_id ,
                         associationForeignKey  =>  id ,
                         joinTable  =>  aros_acos 
                        ),
    );
}

Now to build the main "interface" for the ACL, i wanted to "find( all )" ACL records, and have the linked (recursed) up to the Customer level - so that i could display the groups and the actual customers from the aro table; so i set the recursive parameter to "2" for the Myacl model

Though judging by the SQL queries of the debug pane - the relation isn t correct at all.. Was i totally wrong in how i set the relations?

Here is are the basic SQL queries from the find( all ) call:

from this code (in the Myacl controller):

$this->Myacl->recursive = 2;
$allRules = $this->Myacl->findAll();

the queries are:

1   DESCRIBE `aros`     7   7   13
2   DESCRIBE `acos`     7   7   1
3   DESCRIBE `aros_acos`        3   3   1
4   DESCRIBE `customers`        9   9   2
5   SELECT `Myacl`.`id`, `Myacl`.`aro_id`, `Myacl`.`aco_id` FROM `aros_acos` AS `Myacl` WHERE 1 = 1 ORDER BY `Myacl`.`id` ASC       9   9   0

You can see from the amount of "Customer" queries, and from the joins - that something is seriously "off" with the model relations..

Any advice or leads are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ken.

Answer 1

I m just starting with ACL, but I think you got it wrong in the acl relationships. aro hasAndBelongsToMany aco, that make acl the stub between them. So, if you are making a model of acl, it should have a belongsTo aro and belongsTo aco. Aro and aco should have a hasMany acl. Hope it helps ;D
