Re: Question about posts index and auth issue

Surely setting the allow variable is enough. If the user is not logged, they are not allowed. Simple. No need to check further, let the auth component do it.

Hi,

I have a page, where I want to display my blog posts by calling a

requestAction to a function called frontindex() function.

public function frontindex() {

        $all = $this->Post->find('all', array('order' =>  'created

DESC'));

        $this->set('posts', $all);

        return $all;

    }

I am only displaying the headline and the body, nothing else.

To add new posts and to edit I want the admin to login.

After login, the admin should see the index(), with add(), edit() and

delete() function.

I wonder now, how to do this best.

In my posts controller I have this:

public function beforeFilter() {

        parent::beforeFilter();

        $this->Auth->allow(array('frontindex'));

    }

BUT!

After submitting the login form, I can never reach the index() I just

keep seeing the login form.

In my AppController I have:

public $components = array(

        'Session',

        'Auth' =>  array(

            'loginRedirect' =>  array('controller' =>  'posts', 'action'

=>  'index'),

            'logoutRedirect' =>  array('controller' =>  'pages',

'action' =>  'display', 'home'),

            'authorize' =>  array('Controller'),

            'authError' =>  'Bitte loggen Sie sich ein!'

        )

    );

It  only works, when I do this:

public function beforeFilter() {

        parent::beforeFilter();

        $this->Auth->allow(array('index', 'frontindex'));

    }

Adding the index.

BUT then my index is open to the public.

I am totally lost in this, how the hell can I make it right?

Please give me some advice!
