Re: new action is being blocked by AuthComponent and I'm not sure why

Because you are authorizing actions, you have to add the action to the aco table.

You can do this by using the cake console... but here is some code that I use to automatically do it for you.

Put this is your AppContoller...

/*

*  

*  Used for Adding Aco action automatically on page load. 

*

*  Designed for use in development and deployment. 

*  Call from beforeFilter in new controller and access each controller method via a web browser, 

* then remove from controller code, once you have everything initiated.

*

*/

function _initAco(){

// Get Action from Auth Component

$pathparts = explode('/',$this->Auth->action());

$path = '';

// Loops through the pieces of the path and adds them if necessary

foreach($pathparts as $key => $item){

$path .= $item;

$node = $this->Acl->Aco->node($path);

if(!$node && !isset($currentParent)){

$controllers = $this->Acl->Aco->node('controllers');

$currentParent = $controllers[0]['Aco'];

}

if($node){

$currentParent = $node[0]['Aco'];

}else{

$this->Acl->Aco->create(array(

'parent_id' => $currentParent['id'],

'model' => null, 'alias' => $pathparts[$key]

));

$node = $this->Acl->Aco->save();

$currentParent = array('id' => $this->Acl->Aco->id, 'alias' => $node['Aco']['alias']);

};

$path .= '/';

}

}

Then add $this->_initAco(); to the beforeFilter of the controller you are working on.

function beforeFilter(){

$this->_initAco();

parent::beforeFilter();

}

Just remember to remove this code, when you are done developing on that controller. It obviously adds weight... but for convenience, it's great.
