I am trying to use the login generator, but I keep getting the following error when I run "generate login Account": /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.10.0/lib/rails_generator/base.rb:84:in `manifest'': No manifest for ''login'' generator.

So, given a sessionID, I have need to read and write the session stored information ''manually'', from _outside_ an actual Rails request/controller. Readers, I know your first response may be to tell me I don''t really want to do that. Trust me though, I really do, it makes sense for me in my case. I know this wouldn''t work if you''re using the new cookie

I''m hoping someone can help me out here. My application works fine locally using webrick. One I upload to my shared server space I get an application error saying rails has failed to start. The log file production.log reads as follows: MissingSourceFile (no such file to load -- login_system): /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__''

This seems newbish, but I can''t seem to get this gem to install no matter what I do. The gem in question is login_generator, and no matter what folder I put the .gem file in, it can''t read locally - am I missing something? Remote install hangs at updating the source. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi All, I''ve been fooling around with the login_generator and the rolling with ruby on rails demo, but I''m jiggered if I can get the two to work together. I''ve managed to get everything installed ok, and have created the db and tables, etc. I''ve been using ruby script\generate login Recipe, and I can either the get the basic tutorial to work, or get the

I have created a ''admin'' controller and all the necessary definitions and templates to delete, update and edit records and this is working OK, but how do I effectively restrict access to these defs'' from all but the admin user (called admin)? Currently I am just using if statements within the defs'' to check if it is the admin user logged in e.g; def index

Hi everyone, I''m new to Rails and web development. I just bought up the Agile book and I''ve got a question about the :session_expires option. In the book, page 317, it says the :session_expires "option should probably not be used." Does anyone know why? The book doesn''t explain or give any indication as to why. In an application I''m working on

I know this shouldn''t be in the view but to test the code it is. Anyway if I do just session[user] I get back the user id (the id from the user table) which is good. However this code does not work. <% a = session[:user] %> <% uname = User.find(:first, :conditions => id = a) %> <%= @uname %> TIA Stuart

1 hour spent and I can''t got explanation why I have "execution expired" when I trying to test this web service: Pointed to: http://localhost:3000/news/list class NewsService < ActionWebService::Base web_service_api NewsApi def list [NewsTopic.new, NewsTopic.new] end end class NewsController < ApplicationController wsdl_service_name ''news''

hello, I am trying to implement a "remember be" box for logins, however I cant seem to get it to work. I have tried the following 2 methods but neither seem to work. When i check the expiry time in firefox it always says "end of session". What is the proper way to handle this so the session cookie "_session_id" doesnt expire for a year? I tried

from the Agile Book, i see i can set the absolute session expiry time via: ActionController::CGIRequest::DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS[:session_expires] however, I don''t see anything about what the actual default setting is when a session is created. also, is there a way to set the expiration to happen when the browser is closed? in PHP, this can be accomplished using

I''m preety new at RoR (and programming), I tried a few tutorials, and really like the RoR simplicity, but my knowledge of the framework still isn''t very good (to be true, i understand the basics, but not everything that''s in the tutorials). But still I''d like to create a website which has: - front end interface (with no edit functions) - admin interface

I''ve been looking around for how to store the session ID in a cookie. The "Agile Web Development with Rails" books seems to indicate that this is done by default with Rails. But I don''t see a cookie being set in my browser. (yeah, they''re enabled) I poked through the RForum code to find something referencing "cookies" but nothing came up. Does
