CsnAclNavigation

What is CsnAclNavigation?, _(*1)

CsnAclNavigation is a Module for Navigation using Access Control List based on Zend Framework 2, _(*2)

What exactly does CsnAclNavigation?, _(*3)

CsnAclNavigation has been created with educational purposes to demonstrate how Navigation can be done. It is fully functional., _(*4)

Installation

1. Installation via composer is supported, simply run (make sure you've set "minimum-stability": "dev" in your composer.json file): php composer.phar require coolcsn/csn-acl-navigation:dev-master, _(*5)

2. Configure referenced modules (CsnUser and CsnAuthorization) following their instructions., _(*6)

Go to your application configuration in ./config/application.config.phpand add 'CsnAclNavigation'. An example application configuration could look like the following:, _(*7)

'modules' => array(
    'Application',
    'DoctrineModule',
    'DoctrineORMModule',
    'CsnUser',
    'CsnAuthorization',
    'CsnAclNavigation'
)

Configuration

1. Copy the sample Navigation configuration from ./vendor/coolcsn/csn-acl-navigation/config/navigation.global.php.dist. to ./config/autoload renaming it to navigation.global.php and edit.

We recommend using the same names for the resources and privileges of the pages as for the controllers and actions. This is done to keep the Navigation and Authorization in sync., _(*8)

If we have a link in our navigation to resource named "Album\Controller\Album" and privilege "index", please use the same resource and privilege name to configure your MVC page in the navigation., _(*9)

For example:, _(*10)

    array(
                 'label' => 'Album', // 'Page #1',
                 'route' => 'album', // 'page-1',
                 'action'     => 'index',
                 'controller' => 'index',
                 'resource' => 'Album\Controller\Album',
                 'privilege'    => 'index',
                 'pages' => array(
                     array(
                         'label' => 'Add', // 'Child #1',
                         'route' => 'album',
                         'params' => array('action' => 'add'),
                         'resource' => 'Album\Controller\Album',
                         'privilege'    => 'add',
                     ),
                 ),
             ),
