Re: Auth allow for shared functions in Appcontroller

Ignore what I said. I just thought about it for a minute and that's
incorrect. Auth::allow merges the actions:

$this->allowedActions = array_merge($this->allowedActions, $args);

So when it runs in a given Controller the other actions are merged
with whatever you allow in AppController. I just removed an action
from one of mine and allow()ed it inAppController. Works just fine.

What version are you running?

And I assumed you initialised Auth in AppController's $components array. eg.

public $components = array(
'Auth' => array(
'loginAction' => array(
'admin' => 0, 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'
),
// etc.

If you don't do it that way you need to initialise in beforeFilter()
*before* you call Auth::allow().
