How to bypass ACL queries on requestAction in CakePHP?

Question

Showing recents posts in an element by requestAction method is great, but it causes redundant queries if ACL is used. Is there a way to disable those?

Note: My version of CakePHP is 2.4.2

I was having the same problem as you, but after 2 days of Googling I found: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14592940

Put the following code in:

AppController::beforeFilter()

if (isset($this->params['requested'])) $this->Auth->allow($this->action);
