Hi, popcorn thank's for all.
I was working with the code of my last post and i have some improvements to make this more powerful an easy to use, this are my improvements

first i made a change to the has_permissions function...

Code:

public function has_permissions()
{
    $controller = '/'.$this->ci->uri->rsegment(1).'/';
        $function = $controller.$this->ci->uri->rsegment(2);
    if(isset($this->permissions[$function]))
        return $this->_get_permissions($this->permissions[$function]);
    else if(isset($this->permissions[$controller]))
        return $this->_get_permissions($this->permissions[$controller]);
    else return -1;
}

by this way we can give a major priority to controller/function permission over a global controller permision.

i found that can be more convinient if this can works in transparent mode, thats mean that we dont be worried about put a piece of code on every constructor to check if the user has permissions, so i made inherit the Controller core class with MY_Controller put this code in a file named MY_Controller.php under applications/Library folder

Code:

<?php
class MY_Controller extends Controller {

    function MY_Controller()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        if(!$this->redux_auth->has_permissions())
            redirect(''); //<-- here you can redirect to wherever you want
    }
}
?&gt;

all you need to do is inherit your controllers from MY_Controller, and all your application will be using a Controller/Function based access control

im working in another has_permissions function that use the name of group instead of id_group to make more readable the configuration of the permissions.

Code:

//using group id's
$config['auth']['permissions']['/controller1/function1'] = array(1, 2);  
//using name of groups
$config['auth']['permissions']['/controller1/function1'] = array('admin', 'publisher');

i think this gonna be a great change...

i'm using this addon in two projects that i'm working and is great for my entire applications and pretty convenient to protect my ajax functions...

if you use this please comment for a bug...

Adios...
