Re: Best practices for general checks and redirects?

Sounds like something you could achieve with a custom Component and its methods initialize() and startup().

AppController's beforeFilter might also work, but it is usually cleaner to keep these things bundled in components if reasonable/possible.

Hey all,

I'm new to CakePHP and have a lot of experience with other frameworks. I'd like to know what the best practice is for doing checking for things before any controller is run? Does it belong in the AppController's beforeFilter callback, the afterFilter in UsersController, or is there a place to specifically put this sort of stuff? I just need to make sure that the RegisterController and login and logout and pages aren't impeded.

I need to check to see if a User with the role of merchants has their store set up after they log in. If they don't then they need to be redirected to the controller to set their store up.
