Khaos :: KhACL

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
OK.

I have spent the better part of a workday, um, "evaluating" ACL options for my project. I have already implemented redux_auth for handling site logins, and I'm pretty happy with the way it is working (thanks, Popcorn!!). It seems to me that KhACL is well-suited to building on what I already have.

It appears that the 'link' feature mentioned in Neophyte's original post...

Links - The link argument you see when creating ARO or ACO objects as you can see is completely optional and an idea i stole from cakephp which i think may come in handy for some people (myself included) where you can specify an ID to what this represents in your own database (such as a user_id) so if you wish to perform your own SQL queries you can join the relevent records.

...is exactly what I want to do. However, I have absolutely no clue how to go about this. I read and searched all (nine!) of the pages in this thread, and still have not found any references to doing this.

I'm not grasping which direction the information should flow: auth -> ACL, or ACL -> auth.

Does anyone have any sample code that might help me get on the right track?

Thanks!
