You need to define regular beforeFilter, beforeRender (etc) methods in your AppController that call _callbacks(method). Check the code above again.

There is also possibility that you have regular beforeFilter method defined in your controller in which you do some stuff. If that is the case don’t forget to call parent::beforeFilter() in it.

Hi,
I am newbie to cakephp.But I know ruby-rails some extent.

Your Idea is looking great.But it’s not working for me.I don’t know where I’m doing wrong.
I just copied the code into /libs/controller/app_controller.php.
I added the following code to my controller ,

var $beforeFilter = array(
array(
‘methods’ => array(’check_session’),
‘except’ => array(’login’)
)
);

function _check_session() { echo ‘…..checking session….’;}

I can’t see the output on browser “…..checking session….”.

How _callbacks() gets called? I had put some echo statements in the function. But I can’t see any of those on the browser.

Hope any one would help me.
Archana
