Sorry im new to cakephp 3.0. In my user table, there are two user types, admin and public. How do I display/hide links according to user types in default.ctp? Can anyone guide me thanks!!
This is my app controller
namespace App\Controller;
use Cake\Controller\Controller;
use Cake\Event\Event;
class AppController extends Controller
{
//...
public function initialize()
{
$this->loadComponent('Flash');
$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
'authenticate' => [
'Form' => [
'fields' => [
'username' => 'email',
'password' => 'password'
]
]
],
'loginRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'index'
],
'logoutRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Pages',
'action' => 'display',
'home'
]
]);
}
public function beforeFilter(Event $event)
{
$this->Auth->allow(['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'add', 'index',
]);
}
}
The AppController you've posted has nothing to do with what I understand of your request so that's got me a little confused. Either way, you can access the session of the current logged in user through session variables.
For example - if your users table had the column 'type' in which the values 'public' or 'admin' were stored, it would look something like this:
<?php if ($this->session->read('Auth.User.type') == 'admin') { ?>
Link to admin functions
<?php } else { ?>
Boring public link
<?php } ?>
That's assuming you're working with logged in users. If you haven't got that far yet, read the CakePHP 3 tutorial on authentication and authorization.

I have an application in cakephp where a logged in user must have a status of active otherwise it should redirect to a controller where user must have submit his application.
Actually i want to implement on all the controllers whenever a user tried to access any controller action it should check the status automatically and if status is not active it should redirect to the user application. How can i implement it in the Appcontroller.
My Appcontroller contents are :
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('RequestHandler', [
'enableBeforeRedirect' => false,
]);
$this->loadComponent('Flash');
$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
'authError' => 'You have been logged out due to period of inactivity.',
'loginAction' => [
'controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'login'
],
'loginRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'dashboard'
],
'logoutRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'logout'
],
]);
You can use beforeFilter Method in your AppController to perform such a check.
Suppose the name of your Controller where you want to Redirect is YourController, then your method should look like.
public function beforeFilter( $event ) {
if ($this->Auth->user()) { //If User is logged in.
if ( $this->request->controller != 'YourController' ) { //If Request Controller is other than YourController
$status = $this->Auth->user('status'); //Get the Status
if( $status != 'active' ) { //If Status is not active
//Redirect Here
return $this->redirect(
['controller' => 'YourController', 'action' => 'index'];
);
}
}
}
}
I am using cakephp 3 and their auth component .. everything is working fine but i want to match my password while login using md5 instead of default hashing password logic cakephp 3 uses ... what should i do to implement this feature .. here below is my AppController.php file what i have done so far ..
AppController.php
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('RequestHandler');
$this->loadComponent('Flash');
$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
'loginRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'dashboard'
],
'logoutRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'login'
],
'loginAction' => [
'controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'login'
],
'authenticate' => [
'Form' => [
'userModel' => 'Users',
'fields' => [
'username' => 'user_email',
'password' => 'user_password'
]
]
],
'storage' => 'Session',
'unauthorizedRedirect' => false,
]);
}
as i mentioned above, everything is working fine, i am able to login successfully with default hashing method which cakephp 3 provides, but i just want to exclude this hashing method and need to check using md5 .. how can i do this ?
Can someone guide me or help me please ?
Thanks
Ok .. guys .. eventually i have found out the solution and here below is what i have come up with .. so if anybody stuck or want similar feature, they can follow this thing to accomplish this ..
Go here http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/controllers/components/authentication.html#creating-custom-password-hasher-classes there they are saying to create a new file which you need to follow and need to create.
Then in your Auth Component make sure you add below line
'Form' => [
'passwordHasher' => [
'className' => 'Legacy',
]
]
This is working for me, i hope it helps someone .. Thank you guys.
Im using cakephp 3.2 to build an application. Im using the bookmarks tutorial as a basis for my project. in one of my bookmarks .ctp view files I would like to have a number of select boxes with data specific to the user loggged in. i have two tables namely users and bookmarks. My bookmarks table contains foreign key from users table user_id.
Here's my bookmark table with the fields i would like the dropdowns. id, user_id, title, systemregistration, systemroles, country, province, metropolitan.
Code for my appcontroller
namespace App\Controller;

}
}

I would like to populate each of the fields with data specific to the user logged in. Could you please help!
You don't need to do anything. If a login is successful you can access the logged in user details through the Auth component using $this->Auth->user();
If you need to add any more information to the session you can use the Session component like $this->Session->write('User.AscociatedData', $AscociatedData);
Easiest way to access this data in the view is to set authenticated user as a view variable in the controller:
$this->set('user',$this->Auth->user());
then you can accesses the users info in the view with $user e.g$user->fieldName
Not entirely sure what your asking but I hope one of my answers is relevant.
we only need to show bookmarks for the currently logged in user.
We can do that by updating the call to paginate().Make your index() action from Controller/BookmarksController.php look like:
public function index()
{
$this->paginate = [
'conditions' => [
'Bookmarks.user_id' => $this->Auth->user('id'),
]
];
$this->set('bookmarks', $this->paginate($this->Bookmarks));
$this->set('_serialize', ['bookmarks']);
}
We should also update the tags() action and the related finder method as we done for bookmarks above
Please read the tutorial

Hello I'm using CakePHP 3 to simple setup a site which some pages of it need user to login first.
It was fine when I put the loadComponent('Auth', blablabla) code in initialize() of AppController.php.
src\Controller\AdminController.php
...
public function login() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$admin = $this->Auth->identify();
if ($admin) {
$this->Auth->setUser($admin);
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl());
}
$this->Flash->error('Your username or password is incorrect.');
}
}
...
src\Controller\AppController.php
...
public function initialize() {
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('RequestHandler');
$this->loadComponent('Flash');
$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
'Authenticate' => [
'Form' => [
'userModel' => 'Admin',
'Fields' => [
'username' => 'email',
'password' => 'password'
]
]
],
'loginAction' => [
'controller' => 'Admin',
'action' => 'login',
]
]);
$this->Auth->allow(['display']);
}
...
At this point, I needed to login in order to view all other pages of the site.
But I tried to put this same authentication setup in another controller called JustController, and after I logged in, a fetal error stated
Call to a member function identify() on boolean
has been shown.
It should be possible to setup authentication in other controllers so that the site can have more than 1 set of login system instead of covering whole site by setting up in AppController, doesn't it?
Thank you.
Here is code of appcontroller
class AppController extends Controller {
public $components = array(
'Session',
'Auth' => array(
'loginRedirect' => array(
'controller' => 'employees',
'action' => 'login'
),
'logoutRedirect' => array(
'controller' => 'employees',
'action' => 'logout',
'index'
)
)
);
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->allow('index','add');
}
ERROR
usercontroller not found //why it is coming
my model class name is Employee
Controller name id employeesController
please help me on this as i am new to cake php
Adding Auth to your used components suggests you are logging users in. You can read more about how it works here
You can take out the Auth out and try again, or set up the user authentication.
How does your EmployeesController look like?
