Re: [fw-mvc] Inject preDispatch code without explicitly declaring it in each controller

Good point, but if you don't need the controller at all (depends on how the OP decides to handle the unauthenticated scenario) then you can skip dispatching the controller and redirect at routeShutdown (the earlier point in which you'll know where the user is going).

I prefer to use an action helper, because this gives me access to the action controller in question

I use a controller plugin for this. You can check out the source here:

To register it with the front controller I added this line to my application.ini:

resources.frontController.plugins.authenticate = "Default_Plugin_Authenticate"

You'll need to ensure that the class can be autoloaded first.

Hi all,

I am trying to write an app that is accessed via a subdomain, and
handles all of the backend maintenance and configuration for a
customer's site. Since authentication will be necessary, I will need
to check for a valid identity on each request. I know that I can
handle this in each controller's preDispatch() method, but is there a
more central place that such code could be injected without having to
explicitly declare it in each controller? I was thumbing through the
docs, but I'm not sure how to search for what I am looking for.

Would appreciated being pointed in the right direction...
