Re: Cache MADNESS with Auth

Hello Dario,

If the field is a tinyint (which most likely it is) then in Cake's
mind 1 = true, 0 = false. You changing it to 2 will confuse Cake and
make it not know what to think. You will need to change that field to
int and then change the values to 2 if they are confirmed.

When I was developing http://www.countycriminal.com here's what I am
using for the authentication of users:

app/app_controller.php
function beforeRender() {
if(isset($this->params['admin']) && $this->params['admin'] ==
'admin'){
if(!$this->checkUser($this->Session->read('admin_user'))){
$this->redirect('/administrators/login/');
}else{
$this->layout = 'admin';
$this->set('IS_ADMIN',true);
}
}
}

function checkUser($user) {
if((!is_array($user)) || (!isset($user['Administrator']['id']))){
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}

app/controllers/administrators_controller.php
function login() {
$this->layout = "admin";

if(!empty($this->data)) {
$user_login = $this->Administrator->find('first', array
('conditions' => array('username' => $this->data['administrators']
['username'], 'password' => $this->data['administrators']
['password'])));
if(!empty($user_login)){
// Writes the session for the admin
$this->Session->write('admin_user', $user_login);
$last = $user_login['Administrator']['lastlogin'];
$user_login['Administrator']['lastlogin'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$this->Administrator->save($user_login);
$this->Session->setFlash(__('You have been login successfully.
Last Login: '.date('l, F jS Y \a\t g:ia',strtotime($last)), true),
'default', array('class'=>'success'));
$this->redirect('/admin/');
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The login was invalid, please try
again.', true), 'default', array('class'=>'error'));
}
}
}

As you can see the before render will check to see if it's an "admin"
area and if so it checks to make sure the user is logged in. If they
are not it will send them to the administrators/login page which will
then check their login. If it's successful it will set the session
and continue on. If however, it's not successful it will send them
back with a message that it failed to log them in.

Take care hope this points you in the right direction,
Chad
