I’m interested in blocking all access to the application…

Is there a simpler way of doing that?

Many thanks in advance.

I’m a newbie, in cakephp and this 1.1 a 1.2 cakephp versions issues are driving me crazy.

I’m trying to do just the same thing but in 1.2 version

does anyone know, where to find something like this but prepared for cakephp ver. 1.2 ?

sorry for my bad english

I think that cakephp 1.2 documentation is poor and don’t know where to find anwers

I must say that i’m pretty confused. I treid to work with session&cakephp&redirect and I always ended with erased sesion after redirecting to another controler.

Although, what do you think about putting some nice ” exit();” after $this->redirect? consider that beacuse when you are redirecting the script is still working

jdm: You are probably using Cake 1.2 (which has new form helpers) while this is written for 1.1.

jdm,

I’m not sure, but it seems like you are using the wrong version of CakePHP. There are certain tasks that were moved from the html helper to the form helper, I am a beginner too so I may be 100% wrong, but those warnings look like the ones I got when I went from Cake 1.1 to Cake 1.2. The helpers should be there, you just may have to replace $html-> with $form->. Again, I may be wrong, but give it a try.

You should add some salt to the md5 :)


if ($results && $results['User']['password'] == md5($this->data['User']['password'].'somesalt'))

and add 'somesalt' when you create the user's record (add action for eg.)
