AclBehavior Class Info:

Class Declaration:

class AclBehavior extends ModelBehavior

File name:
Cake/Model/Behavior/AclBehavior.php
Description:

ACL behavior

Enables objects to easily tie into an ACL system

Class Inheritance

ModelBehavior Object

Properties:

Show/Hide parent properties
  • mapMethods array

    Allows the mapping of preg-compatible regular expressions to public or private methods in this class, where the array key is a /-delimited regular expression, and the value is a class method. Similar to the functionality of the findBy* / findAllBy* magic methods.

  • settings array

    Contains configuration settings for use with individual model objects. This is used because if multiple models use this Behavior, each will use the same object instance. Individual model settings should be stored as an associative array, keyed off of the model name.

  • _typeMaps array

    Maps ACL type options to ACL models

_addToWhitelist

top

If $model's whitelist property is non-empty, $field will be added to it. Note: this method should only be used in beforeValidate or beforeSave to ensure that it only modifies the whitelist for the current save operation. Also make sure you explicitly set the value of the field which you are allowing.

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

    Model using this behavior

  • string $field required

    Field to be added to $model's whitelist

void

afterDelete

top

Destroys the ARO/ACO node bound to the deleted record

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

Cake/Model/Behavior/AclBehavior.php on line 128
Return

void

afterFind

top

After find callback. Can be used to modify any results returned by find.

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

    Model using this behavior

  • mixed $results required

    The results of the find operation

  • boolean $primary required

    Whether this model is being queried directly (vs. being queried as an association)

Method defined in:
Cake/Model/ModelBehavior.php on line 134
Return

mixed An array value will replace the value of $results - any other value will be ignored.

afterSave

top

Creates a new ARO/ACO node bound to this record

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

  • boolean $created required

    True if this is a new record

Method defined in:
Cake/Model/Behavior/AclBehavior.php on line 98
Return

void

beforeDelete

top

Before delete is called before any delete occurs on the attached model, but after the model's beforeDelete is called. Returning false from a beforeDelete will abort the delete.

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

    Model using this behavior

  • boolean $cascade optional true

    If true records that depend on this record will also be deleted

Method defined in:
Cake/Model/ModelBehavior.php on line 179
Return

mixed False if the operation should abort. Any other result will continue.

beforeFind

top

beforeFind can be used to cancel find operations, or modify the query that will be executed. By returning null/false you can abort a find. By returning an array you can modify/replace the query that is going to be run.

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

    Model using this behavior

  • array $query required

    Data used to execute this query, i.e. conditions, order, etc.

Method defined in:
Cake/Model/ModelBehavior.php on line 122
Return

boolean|array False or null will abort the operation. You can return an array to replace the $query that will be eventually run.

beforeSave

top

beforeSave is called before a model is saved. Returning false from a beforeSave callback will abort the save operation.

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

    Model using this behavior

Method defined in:
Cake/Model/ModelBehavior.php on line 156
Return

mixed False if the operation should abort. Any other result will continue.

beforeValidate

top

beforeValidate is called before a model is validated, you can use this callback to add behavior validation rules into a models validate array. Returning false will allow you to make the validation fail.

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

    Model using this behavior

Method defined in:
Cake/Model/ModelBehavior.php on line 145
Return

mixed False or null will abort the operation. Any other result will continue.

cleanup

top

Clean up any initialization this behavior has done on a model. Called when a behavior is dynamically detached from a model using Model::detach().

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

    Model using this behavior

Method defined in:
Cake/Model/ModelBehavior.php on line 106

__construct

top

constructor, no-op

Method defined in:
Cake/Core/Object.php on line 32

dispatchMethod

top

Calls a method on this object with the given parameters. Provides an OO wrapper for call_user_func_array

Parameters:
  • string $method required

    Name of the method to call

  • array $params optional array ( )

    Parameter list to use when calling $method

Method defined in:
Cake/Core/Object.php on line 110
Return

mixed Returns the result of the method call

log

top

Convenience method to write a message to CakeLog. See CakeLog::write() for more information on writing to logs.

Parameters:
  • string $msg required

    Log message

  • integer $type optional 2

    Error type constant. Defined in app/Config/core.php.

Method defined in:
Cake/Core/Object.php on line 149
Return

boolean Success of log write

_mergeVars

top

Merges this objects $property with the property in $class' definition. This classes value for the property will be merged on top of $class'

This provides some of the DRY magic CakePHP provides. If you want to shut it off, redefine this method as an empty function.

Parameters:
  • array $properties required

    The name of the properties to merge.

  • string $class required

    The class to merge the property with.

  • boolean $normalize optional true

    Set to true to run the properties through Set::normalize() before merging.

Cake/Core/Object.php on line 187
Return

void

node

top

Retrieves the Aro/Aco node for this model

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

  • mixed $ref optional NULL

  • string $type optional NULL

    Only needed when Acl is set up as 'both', specify 'Aro' or 'Aco' to get the correct node

Method defined in:
Cake/Model/Behavior/AclBehavior.php on line 77

onError

top

DataSource error callback

Parameters:
  • Model $model required

    Model using this behavior

  • string $error required

    Error generated in DataSource

Method defined in:
Cake/Model/ModelBehavior.php on line 199
Return

void

requestAction

top

Calls a controller's method from any location. Can be used to connect controllers together or tie plugins into a main application. requestAction can be used to return rendered views or fetch the return value from controller actions.

Under the hood this method uses Router::reverse() to convert the $url parameter into a string URL. You should use URL formats that are compatible with Router::reverse()

Passing POST and GET data

POST and GET data can be simulated in requestAction. Use $extra['url'] for GET data. The $extra['data'] parameter allows POST data simulation.

Parameters:
  • mixed $url required

    String or array-based url. Unlike other url arrays in CakePHP, this url will not automatically handle passed and named arguments in the $url parameter.

  • array $extra optional array ( )

    if array includes the key "return" it sets the AutoRender to true. Can also be used to submit GET/POST data, and named/passed arguments.

Method defined in:
Cake/Core/Object.php on line 66
Return

mixed Boolean true or false on success/failure, or contents of rendered action if 'return' is set in $extra.

_set

top

Allows setting of multiple properties of the object in a single line of code. Will only set properties that are part of a class declaration.

Parameters:
  • array $properties optional array ( )

    An associative array containing properties and corresponding values.

Method defined in:
Cake/Core/Object.php on line 164
Return

void
