I am just trying to implement Cakephp ACL user authentication in a plugin named "Cauth". The same thing I implements before was working fine. This time the difference is, it is under plugin. Here, in controller, $this->User->Group->find('list'); is not working. I got the following fatal error:
Fatal Error
Error: Call to a member function find() on a non-object
File: my_dir_path\app\Plugin\Cauth\Controller\UsersController.php
Line: 60
Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app\View\Errors\fatal_error.ctp
My code are follows:
Group model:
var $useTable = 'groups';
public $hasMany = array (
'User' => array (
'className' => 'Cauth.User',
'foreignKey' => 'group_id',
'dependent' => false,
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'counterQuery' => ''
)
);
User model:
var $useTable = 'users';
public $belongsTo = array (
'Group' => array (
'className' => 'Cauth.Group',
'foreignKey' => 'group_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
)
);
Users controller add action, the group select box is not working.
Users controller add action:
App::uses('CauthAppController', 'Cauth.Controller');
class UsersController extends CauthAppController {
public function add() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->User->create();
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been saved'));
$this->redirect(array ('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
}
}
$groups = $this->User->Group->find('list');
$this->set(compact('groups'));
}
Can anyone help me to shootout this issue.
Special note: It is working on following case.
Case 1:
If I bind the model from the controller than it works fine.
$this->User->bindModel(
array ('belongsTo' => array ('Group'))
);
i.e.
public function add() {
$this->User->bindModel(
array ('belongsTo' => array ('Group'))
);
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->User->create();
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been saved'));
$this->redirect(array ('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
}
}
$groups = $this->User->Group->find('list');
$this->set(compact('groups'));
}
Case 2:
If I allow the action name for all. Admin has all permission though I need to write the beforeFilter for admin also.
public function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->allow('index', 'add');
}
I have found one more case to make it workable.
Case 3:
The code for my AppController was -
class AppController extends Controller {
public $helpers = array ('Form', 'Time', 'Html', 'Session', 'Js', 'DebugKit.Toolbar');
public $counter = 0;
public $components = array (
'DebugKit.Toolbar',
'RequestHandler',
'Acl',
'Auth' => array (
'authorize' => array (
'Actions' => array ('actionPath' => 'controllers')
)
),
'Session'
);
public function beforeFilter() {
//Configure AuthComponent
$this->Auth->loginAction = array ('plugin' => 'cauth', 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array ('plugin' => 'cauth', 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array ('plugin' => '', 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display');
}
}
In this case it was not working. But when I made it -
class AppController extends Controller {
public $helpers = array ('Form', 'Time', 'Html', 'Session', 'Js', 'DebugKit.Toolbar');
public $counter = 0;
public $components = array (
'DebugKit.Toolbar',
'RequestHandler',
'Acl',
'Auth' => array (
'authenticate' => array('Form')
),
'Session'
);
public function beforeFilter() {
//Configure AuthComponent
$this->Auth->loginAction = array ('plugin' => 'cauth', 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array ('plugin' => 'cauth', 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array ('plugin' => '', 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display');
}
}
Then the association again start working. Still can not understand what is the problem with this component declaration.
public $components = array (
'DebugKit.Toolbar',
'RequestHandler',
'Acl',
'Auth' => array (
'authorize' => array (
'Actions' => array ('actionPath' => 'controllers')
)
),
'Session'
);
And If I do not declare like this way, my ACL is not working. i.e All groups get same permission.
Please help me. I am stack on this for a very long time.
