Hi, I'm trying to find out the best way of doing this and I have no idea.
I have a users table which works really well with the basic Auth::check() method. No problems there.
I'm looking to extend this so that a user can be:
confirmed true/false
admin true/false
How can I take Auth::check() and pass a filter into it to check for confirmed = true or admin = true?
Ideally I'd like to be able to use this everywhere, included the routes file where I currently use:
Route::group(['before' => 'auth'], function() ...
Any help would be gratefully received - this is always the point where I get frustrated using a new framework - and I want to do it the right way.
just create a new filter in app/filters.php
Route::filter('isAdmin', function() {
if(Auth::user()->role != 'admin') {
return Redirect::to('/');
}
});
and use it like
Route::group(['before' => 'auth|isAdmin'], function() ...
Superb, thanks - I've just figured that out by playing around :)
