Re: CakePHP Multilevel Users

You should really consider using Auth and ACL, once you get both of
those components working they really help you a lot. Everything you
mentioned there is easily done with ACL and Auth, seriously, what
you're proposing is going to be a lot more difficult than just reading
up on Auth and ACL. Basically, you're going to have to modify quite a
lot of CakePHP code to be able to use the "manager" option. Not to
mention that it is not very flexible, you're basically going to be
hard-coding your user structure into your website, what happens if you
decide to create a new group called "salesperson" later on, you would
have to go and create functions for that group, whereas with Auth and
ACL you simply define the group and give it permissions and you're
done. Either that, or you would need to specify a route for each
manager function. In the end, you'll end up with dodgy code that works
only part of the time, and you would have used more of your budget on
sifting through core cake code than you would have if you had read up
on Auth and ACL.

As for MooTools, you should be able to use it just fine, you won't
however be able to use the CakePHP AJAX helper since it's made for
Prototype. So if you're happy with manually constructing the required
calls for MooTools in JavaScript, you'll be fine.
