You must also add in your application.ini:
acl.resources.allow.user.logout = guest

Withou this, you can’t logout.

Nevermind I found the solution.

What about redirecting a denied role to a denied action in the error controller instead of redirecting to the login page?

Hey.

Thanks for this great tut.

I’m just having a small issue.

Once the AclPlugin is registered to the front controller, I’m getting this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Application_Acl in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/…/library/Application/Acl.php on line 58

Any idea why?

Thanks.

Thanks for this.

There is also another small typo. In /library/Application/Controller/Plugin/Acl.php you can remove the print_r on line 17.

KUTGW!

You have a small typo in /library/Application/Acl.php on line 42, it should be if($permissions == ‘allow’) instead of if($permissions = ‘allow’)

Right now I have the acl in it’s own config. I load the config and the model in the bootstrap then save the acl model to the registry so I can use it in my Access plugin.

I need to set up caching for this since I think parsing this file all the time might be a performance hit. Especially when it gets big.

The odd thing is, I did not think setting a model would work in the boostrap because it is invoked before the app knows about the models (at least that is what I thought).

protected function _initAcl() {
$aclConfig = new Zend_Config_Ini(APPLICATION_PATH . ‘/configs/acl.ini’, APPLICATION_ENV);
$aclModel = new Model_Acl($aclConfig);

Zend_Registry::set(‘aclModel’, $aclModel);

}

To be safe I think I will move the model instantiation and caching to my Access plugin. This will also keep all the acl stuff more centrally located.

Fun! fun!

There is also an easier way to access your application.ini file through the bootstrap!

It’s no problem, I’m glad this helped demystify this somewhat! I’ve amended the article so that it throws an exception now.

Never mind I figured this out.

In the example code if a resource is not found the resource is set to null. In my circumstance this is the 404 condition.

So rather than setting the resource to null, i throw an exception which is handled by the error controller.

Anyhew, thanks for the above very useful.
