If I get you question correctly, you are basically trying to stop access to certain actions in the controller from being accessed without being logged in right?
If this is what you are after, the correct method to do it is this :
Make a actionMethod() in the controller like so :
class SomeController extends CController{
public function actionSomeAction(){
... More code...
}
After that, you can access the site using : path/to/application/controllerName/actionName
- Now if you want to force the user to log in before accessing the action, do this :
Make an access control like so :
/**
* @return array action filters
*/
public function filters()
{
return array(
'accessControl', // perform access control for CRUD operations
);
}
/**
* Specifies the access control rules.
* This method is used by the 'accessControl' filter.
* @return array access control rules
*/
public function accessRules()
{
return array(
array('allow', // allow authenticated user to perform 'create' and 'update' actions
'actions' => array('**yourActionMethodName**'),
'users' => array('@'),
),
array('deny', // deny all users
'users' => array('*'),
),
);
}
Now only authenticated users would be able to access the URL.
I hope it solved your problem.
If you simply want to check if the user is a guest and if he is, send him to the login page everytime:
In the config/main.php, add the following :
'defaultController' => 'controllerName/actionMethod',
And in that controller just add the above access rule. Now, by default you are opening the site to an access controlled method. So it would automatically redirect you to the login page.
Even another method :
Just add this in the views/layouts/main.php
<?php
if(Yii::app()->user->isGuest)
{
$this->redirect('/site/login');
}
?>
