similar to: Problem with ACL plugin system

I''ve installed acts_as_authenticated and have that working like a charm and now would like to add the acl_system2 plugin so I can do some role based authorization stuff. I went ahead and installed the plugin like this: >ruby script\plugin source http://opensvn.csie.org/ezra/rails/plugins/dev/acl_system2 Then I installed the lib and test >ruby script\plugin install lib >ruby

I''ve been googling around trying to find some tips on creating tests for plugins. Am I correct in assuming that I''d have to have the tests as part of a rails app in order to test the plugin? I''d like to find a way to do standalone tests for the plugin. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I have a question about this method in my User model: # Returns true for the (saved) user called "admin" def is_the_administrator true if save and name == "admin" end The method returns true if the user''s name is admin. However, I only want to return true if the state of the object is "saved", so I call the save method first. I''m

Hi there I have several view specs, that include the following snippet in their "before" block to stub the methods by acts_as_authenticated before :each do @u = mock_model(User) @u.should_receive(:name).and_return("Hans Muster") template.should_receive(:logged_in?).and_return(true) template.should_receive(:current_user).and_return(@u) end this

Hello, I''m trying to spec a Rails application using the couple restful_authentication/acl_system2 plugins. In my admin layout, I put the following code : <% restrict_to "admin" do -%> <ul id="admin-tabs"> <li> /users Users management </li> </ul> <% end -%> Then in my spec file

Friends- Here is another plugin hot off the presses of the three day weekend ;) Its a role based authorization system. I have been talking with Bill Katz about this system so it ties in with his recent announcement as well. Its just my implementation. Its an acl/role type system that can sit on top of the acts_as_authenticated login system or any login system that implements a few

Hi folks, I''ve got an older project I''ve used LoginGenerator for. It works pretty well, but lacks password resetting, etc. Now I''ve got a new project for a client that''s going to need login capabilities as well. I''ve been looking at the Salted Login Generator and the Login Engine, and have taken quick stabs at running through the installation

I have been looking at the LoginGenerator gem. Looks great and can be easily modified. However in my app I have two places where people can login, one is for in my case "employees" the other is for "users". They are seperate tables in my database and have many different fields. I have an admin area located at ./sysadmin/ where only "employees" can login, they

Does anyone have a sense for how painful the 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is going to be for existing apps? I''m finishing up my first real RoR application with Rails 1.0. I can live with it staying at that level, but I really want to use the has_many :through attribute to clean up some of my code. I''m not particularly interested in edge Rails, mainly because the documentation for

I have a select_tag in my view that uses options_for_select with multiple = true. I am having trouble figuring out the Rails way to create and update that field. Please help. Models: ------------- Service has_many AccessControl AccessControl belongs_to Service application.rb ------------------------- $types = Array["Athens", "htpasswd", "IP", "None",

I am trying to allow for AND type ''find'' but to allow for simply a single set of find criteria. controller code... @vw_string = @vw_string1 = @vw_string2 = @vw_string3 = [] if params[:beg_intake_date] != "" then @vw_string1 = ["intake_date between ? and ?", params[:beg_intake_date], params[:end_intake_date] ] end if

Friends- I wanted to let people know that there is a new experimental release of this plugin. I would love feedback on syntax and features. There is now a full test suite with fixtures that covers all the available syntax. Look at the test suite for more syntax possibilities. There have been many additions since my last release. Fabien Atelier has been working on this with me and has

There are a number of good authentication frameworks for rails - has anyone developed a generic authorization framework? I''m thinking of something that included the concept of roles, mapped roles to both actions and users and could be used to wrap actions before their invocation. Extra good would be some way to check data permissions (as in, "yes you can perform the ''Edit

I''ve been playing around with some easier ways of specifying conditions in active record, and have come up with a little plugin that some may find useful. Currently active record finder and calculations methods can take a :conditions option with a string or array listing some sql conditions, eg: Animals.find :first, :conditions => "name = ''Tiger''" My

- This minor patch implements the missing stub function security_label_to_details in the dummy module. This stub function is necessary to create domains with network interfaces for modules that do not implement the security_label_to_details function.

Seems the only issues I ever have with Rails are these bizarre fiddly little things that make no sense. Can''t for the life of me understand why I''m getting undefined method on form_for in a view? And it''s actually part of the acts_as_authenticated plugin that''s doing it. But how can it not know about form_for? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
