Re: How do I save a field on my User without breaking the ACL?

Hi !

If you used the code given in the Simple Acl controlled application,
it doesn't work out of the box if you save only one User's field.

The parentNode() function check if the group_id field is not empty,
and if it is, it returns null. This makes the Acl component think the
User doesn't have any parent to store in the Aros.

If you save only one field - without the goup_id field - you will have
to reload the group_id value.

I use the following code:

function parentNode()
{
if (!$this->id && empty($this->data))
{
return null;
}

$data = $this->data;

if (empty($this->data))
{
$data = $this->read();
}
elseif(isset($this->id) && empty($data['User']['role_id']))
{
/*
* The role_id field was not intended to be saved,
* but we need it in order to find the parent node in the
Aros
*/
$data['User']['role_id'] = $this->field('role_id',
array('User.id' => $this->id));
}

if (empty($data['User']['role_id']))
{
return null;
}
else
{
return array('Role' => array('id' => $data['User']
['role_id']));
}
}

Just replace role_id by groupid or whatever name you used.
