I have a standalone class I wrote in PHP for some very basic LDAP/AD functions. and I would like to use this class in a project I am working on in cakephp.
It looks like in cakephp 1.2 I could just add the class as a vendor, however it looks like cakephp 1.3 removed support for vendors. So how would I go about calling a few function from this class?
(I'd like to try to keep the class itself the same and not turn it into a plugin, as that seems unnecessary)
Thanks!
code below:
**<?php
class UsersController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Users';
//commented out because it breaks the script
//App::import('Lib', 'ldap');
function index() {
$this->User->recursive = 0;
$this->set('users', $this->paginate());
}
function login() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($ldap->auth($this->data['User']['user'],$this->data['User']['password'])) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been saved', true));
$this->Session->write('user', $this->data['User']['user']);
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Login Failed', true));
}
}
}
function logout() {
$this->Session->delete('user');
$this->redirect($this->referer());
}
function view($id = null) {
if (!$id) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid user', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
$this->set('user', $this->User->read(null, $id));
}
function add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->User->create();
if ($this->User->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.', true));
}
}
$projects = $this->User->Project->find('list');
$this->set(compact('projects'));
}
function edit($id = null) {
if (!$id && empty($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid user', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->User->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.', true));
}
}
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->User->read(null, $id);
}
$projects = $this->User->Project->find('list');
$this->set(compact('projects'));
}
function delete($id = null) {
if (!$id) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid id for user', true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
}
if ($this->User->delete($id)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('User deleted', true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
}
$this->Session->setFlash(__('User was not deleted', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
}
