I have a controller that I am trying to use a beforeFilter on.
My controller has the following methods: __construct(), approve(), deny(), destroy(), listing(), flag(), _getComment(), and _getSubmissions().

Here is my __construct() method:

function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->beforeFilter( '_getComment' );
$this->beforeFilter( '_getSubmissions');
$this->beforeFilter( array( '_requireContestOwner' => array( 'except' => array ('flag') ) ) );
}

In theory the third beforeFilter is supposed to apply the method _requireContestOwner() to all methods EXCEPT for the flag() method but when I load the listing() method in my browser the before filter doesn't apply.

However if I do this:
$this->beforeFilter( array( '_requireContestOwner' => array( 'only' => array ('listing') ) ) );
then it works.

Can anyone find fault with anything that I'm doing? I have tried:
$this->beforeFilter( array( '_requireContestOwner' => array( 'except' => 'flag') ) );
but it yields the same result.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm running into the same issue. Is this a bug??
