Comment on Limit Data by User with CakePHP by Chuck Burgess

That’s what makes this so flexible. That is also a great approach to the situation. Glad you liked it. I will soon be putting out my custom user management app that can be put into any cakephp app. I am still fine tuning the way it works. But it is fairly comprehensive. Keep an eye on the blog, I suspect it will be out in another few weeks.

Thanks for writing this, I used the code almost exactly as written and it works well.

The one change I made is that I wanted admin users to get those rights from the admin group and not from a flag in the users table. Therefore, the login code checks if the user is in the admin group and sets an “admin_flag” Configure variable. Then that flag is looked for in the beforeAdminFilter() and before beforeUserFilter() functions.

Yes. There should be no issue with it. ACL will control what actually has rights to CRUD (and custom functions) within each controller. This only manages the data that is queried and saved. It will limit it by the user. So if ACL does not allow them access, this functionality will not even be executed. I hope that makes sense.

Got it!

$queryData['conditions']['StaffMember.group_id'] = ‘> 5?;

becomes:

$queryData['conditions'] = array(‘StaffMember.group_id >’ => ’5′);

So elegant!

My question: I have 4 different types of users: Guests, Members, Staff Members and System Administrators.

In my StaffMember model, I would like my beforeFind to return Staff members and Administrators.

I amusing ['group_id'] instead of ['type'] in my table, with a groups table and the group names.

$queryData['conditions']['StaffMember.group_id'] = ‘> 5′;

But what I get is all users who have a blank group_id.

Can this be used along with CakePHP’s ACL implementation as described in their ACL tutorial.

I use Cornerstone for Mac and I post to the Google Code repository.

Yes, I did both operation (commit and update). Changes for “standard” svn keywords are in place after “commit”. I did tests with 2 svn repositories:
- Collab.net (homeland for svn)
- xp-dev.com (free)

Do you remember which svn repository and client did you use exactly?

Yes. There are only five main keywords it automatically lists for substitution when enabled. However, you can define custom substitutions.

I have been able to get this working for my repositories. Even using Google Code. Have you tried submitting and then checking the code out again (or doing an update) to see if the variables are modified?

I hope there is some hint for enforce SVN substitute custom property (just I really need it for my project), but in svnbook I see following information:
Subversion defines the list of keywords available for substitution. That list contains the following five keywords, some of which have aliases that you can also use:…

“five keywords” – only five… hmmm
