Codeigniter: Controlling log in privileges with inheritance
Ended up not changing the parent constructor or using more inheritance at all:
Added the following to My_Controller:
public function allowedToView($userAccountType, $requiredAccountTypes){ //If user not in allowed userGroup if(!(in_array($userAccountType,$requiredAccountTypes))){ redirect('/sessions/not_allowed/','refresh'); }}Changed child constructor to:
public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $accountType = $this->session->userdata('accountType'); $allowedTypes = array(declaredConstant1,declaredConstant2,...); $this->allowedToView($accountType,$allowedTypes);}Thanks, Joseph for the insight leading me away from my craziness!
