Re: AppController Troubleshooting

Do you call beforeFilter in this controller? If so, does it in turn call parent::beforefilter()? Does the controller have its own constructor?

Can you post the code?

I'm hoping that someone can give me some troubleshooting ideas. I have a CakePHP 2.2.7 application/site with 31 controllers in addition to AppController. Thirty of those controllers correctly import (actually use) AppController so that variables set in it are available in the other controllers and so forth. One controller doesn't seem to inherit anything from AppController. Just like all the other controllers, I have this on the first line:

App::uses('AppController', 'Controller');

The class declaration looks like this:

class HowtosController extends AppController {

For the life of me, I can't figure out why the HowtosController is failing to inherit everything from AppController, while all the other controllers do. I've looked at everything that I can think of, and nothing seems to fix it. Basically, I'm using the Cake-Menu plugin which sets a $menu variable in AppController, and the HowtosController isn't receiving that. I also display the user name (if one is logged in) using $user['username'] which results in an "Undefined variable: user" in all the views deriving from HowtosController. (So it's not limited to just one plugin or the Auth component. It's across the board.) Looking at the available variables in the Debug Toolkit, none of the variables that one would expect to see are in the Howtos views.

Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to continue troubleshooting?
