After 2 days of research how to use and implement ACL I’m feeling totally wasted, last night I couldn’t even fall asleep because of all the ARO’s and ACO’s flying in my head (I’m such a nerd :p). I’ve read all the documentation and blog posts about ACL with CakePHP I could find, but they all didn’t include what I was looking for.
For example the section in the CakePHP Manual learned me the basic principle of how ACL works but it doesn’t include a concreet example of how to use ACL with controllers and models. Another example is the ACL Admin Demo by Andy Dawson, it gave me a little clearer view how to use ACL but for the rest it’s 100% user unfriendly.
Both pages gave me some usefull information and while laying on my bed with all the ARO’s and ACO’s in my head, everything became much clearer. I’ll update you on this in the next days because I first need to get all my thoughts on paper. Hopefully I won’t break my head on this :P
