Question

All,

Is there a way to include Auth or any other Controller in core.php to check if the logged in user is admin. If it is set debug to 2 or else set it to 0.

Is that even possible or advisable?

Thanks,

You could define a beforeFilter method in your AppController and check there whether the user is an admin. If it is an admin, you change the debug value, else you use the value defined in core.php. Something like:

// app/app_controller.php
class AppController extends Controller {
    public function beforeFilter() {
        if (HERE_COMES_THE_ADMIN_CHECK) {
            Configure::write('debug', 2);
        }
    }
}
