Cakephp: Routing and default views

I'm currently trying to add an admin mode to my cakephp site.

I followed a tutorial on the web and added a routing prefix:

Configure::write('Routing.prefixes', array('admin'));

Then I implemented login and logout functionality.

I added a admin_view.ctp and admin_index.ctp to a model where I want to restrict access. Therefore I deleted view.ctp and index.ctp and expected that only admins could view the model by using:

http://xxxx/model/admin/index

But when I entered

http://xxxx/model/index

a default view appeared that I 开发者_如何转开发could not disable (it allows model manipulation). Is there a standard way to disable all these default views or do I have to create a index.ctp and view.ctp that simply show error messages?

If you want to disallow certain action, you need to setup ACL, which is described here. And for authentication, in your controller you need something like this:

class SomethingsController extends AppController
{
var $components = array('Auth');

//this will allow all users access to the index
//and view methods ( but not any other)
    function beforeFilter() {
            $this->Auth->allow('index','view');
    }

// other actions
}

Hope this helps.

Delete default controller methods: function index(), view(), add(), edit() and delete(). Removing *.ctp templates is not enough.
