I'm checking in the view the allowed content by role and resource with Zend_Acl to show specific content. This is working fine, but I would like to have something like a hasParentResource() method to check the parents of a resource.
An example:
$acl->add(new Zend_Acl_Resource('default'));
$acl->add(new Zend_Acl_Resource('admin'));
$acl->add(new Zend_Acl_Resource('admin::resource1'), 'admin');
$acl->add(new Zend_Acl_Resource('admin::resource2'), 'admin');
$acl->add(new Zend_Acl_Resource('admin::resource3'), 'admin');
/roles
$acl->addRole(new Zend_Acl_Role('guest'));
$acl->addRole(new Zend_Acl_Role('user'), 'guest');
$acl->addRole(new Zend_Acl_Role('admin'), 'user');
//deny/allow
$acl->deny();
$acl->allow('guest', 'default');
$acl->allow('user', array(
'admin::resource1',
'admin::resource3'
));
$acl->allow('admin');
In the view:
<h1>Admin</h1>
Lorem ipsum dolor...
<?php if($this->acl->hasParentResource('admin')): ?>
<h2>Resources</h2>
<?php if($this->acl->isAllowed('admin::resource1')): ?>
Ressource 1 stuff
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->acl->isAllowed('admin::resource2')): ?>
Ressource 2 stuff
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->acl->isAllowed('admin::resource3')): ?>
Ressource 3 stuff
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
The idea is to hide the content including the <h2>
tag, if the user has no access to resource 1, 2 or 3.
I know, I could write this:
<?php if($this->acl->isAllowed('admin::resource1') || $this->acl->isAllowed('admin::resource2') || $this->acl->isAllowed('admin::resource3')): ?>
<h2>Resources</h2>
...
<?php endif; ?>
But I do not have only these three resources and I don't want to add new resources to such statements if I change something.
Use the inheritsRole function.
Such that:
if($this->acl->inheritsRole('user', 'admin')) {
/* display content for an admin */
}
