I have been trying to recreat the role based authentication used in station.wagon, but i have had no luck. Ive used his common controller and all ofher controllers extend it. I've also created the roles and groups in simpleauth. I havent seen anything else that looks to be needed. , but when i try to go to any page in the site it just errors claiming their are to many redirects. Am i missing a key component? Any help is greatly appreciated
The Auth library in itself doesn't do any redirects, so the obvious place to look is in your application.
You could have a look at the code in your Depot project on github, which uses Auth for authentication and authorisation. This might give you some pointers as to how to approach this.
Thank you for your quick response, I've been looking through fuel depot, it has a different way of passing roles, but hopefully I'll be going it will set me in the right direction.
Depot doesn't change anything to the way auth works.
I only altered the definition of the roles (or in this case I added a generic role, as the others haven't been added yet).
So where you normally would define "location.accesstype" ( like "comments.read", "blogs.edit", etc ), I have a default or generic role called "access.role", which allows me to do
if (\Auth::has_access('access.staff'))
{
// user has staff access
}
This is basically a workaround for the fact that the SimpleACL driver currently doesn't have a has_role() method which would have accomplished the same thing.
