Module Authentication

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Is it possible to specify general authentication rules for a whole module? (instead of separately in each controller)

For example only authenticated (@) users should be able to access any actions within the module.

2

You can simply create base module controller with defaults. All your module controllers should extend it.

3

Actually this seems to work (in module):


public function beforeControllerAction($controller, $action)

{

	if(parent::beforeControllerAction($controller, $action))

	{

		if(Yii::app()->getModule('dashboard')->user->isGuest)

		{

			Yii::app()->user->loginRequired();

		}

			

		return true;

	}

	else

		return false;

}

Any problems with this approach?

You’ll not be able to create unprotected module actions (for example, login)

You can:

Yes, but I was talking about your piece of code.

So don’t forget about


!in_array($route, $publicPages)

(this is an example from your link) or something similar.
