Hi, Is it possible to specify multiple before filters in a controller... here''s the thing: only one set of filters is to use the :except option. Something like: before_filter :check_for_session_cookie before_filter :validate_user :except =>[''login''] which I use to a) check if the user has returned to the site and has a saved cookie holding login details b) check

Hi! I was trying to cleanup my app and I runned into quite a problem. My controllers in submodule do not seem to inherit things from base class. I have following setup: app/controllers/ application.rb: class ApplicationController admin/ admin_controller.rb: class Admin::AdminController < ApplicationController include LoginEngine include UserEngine

I''m trying to get the login/user engine combo up and working and am having difficulties. I got the login engine up and running fine, no problems. Now, on to the user engine. After fixing the needed stuff in the bootstrap task so it loads I''m able to login as the default admin ok. BUT none of the views/controllers that are in login/user_controller are being overridden by the

Sure, have a look to the login generator (gem install login_generator) -, then script/generate It''s very easy to use. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Good day all. I have successfully installed Engines and LoginEngine and LE is setup and running correctly. However, after installing and setting up UE, when attempting to run the rake bootstrap method I get the following error: undefined method `synchronize_with_controllers'' for Permission:Class My environment is Rails 1.0.0 Ruby 1.8.2 WinXP WebBRICK MySQL 4.1.14 I found the following

I suspect there''s an easier version of this question that I could ask, but I''m not sure where I''m going wrong. I have LoginEngine and UserEngine setup and seemingly running fine. However, not all of my controllers are being found when I run "rake sync_permissions". Specifically, it''s the controllers that are not in the base controllers folder, but

Hello! I just read DHH''s presentation pdf. In his examples, he wrote PeopleController instead of PersonController. I''ve been using singular words in controller''s name. Which is more common? Thanks. Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, I''ve just installed login_engine and user_engine from the repositories, followed the setup procedures as documented in: vendor/plugins/user_engine/README But I''m getting the following failure: vince@vaio:~/Projects/Booking$ rake bootstrap (in /home/vince/Projects/Booking) rake aborted! undefined method `edit'' for class `UserController''

Hi there, I just started writing tests today after some months of using rails (slap wrists). I seem to be getting the hang of things, but I''m hitting a wall when it comes to functional_testing pages protected by login_engine/user_engine. all my assertions come back with: Expected response to be a <:success>, but was <302> Is there a way I can login from within a test?

Hello, I want to allow some users to manage other user accounts, but do not want them to manage the admin account.

Hi, I have four controllers: one for the store front and three for the store admin. In each controller I have copied and pasted exactly the same code. It is a method called redirect_to() to override Action Controller''s redirect_to(). Copy and paste is bad. I can think of two options but I don''t know how Rails will feel about them. Option 1: Can I create an intermediate

Hi Raileans, I''m wondering if there''s any way to get a list of all of the valid controllers in my application. Specifically, I''m doing some funny dynamic stuff in my routes.rb and wanted to make sure that valid controllers will always get mapped while things that are not controllers will go to my other map. I think it would look something like this in my mind''s

Hello, Maybe this is super-trivial... I need to have a list of links on the left hand side of my application, for *every* single page. So, I''ve created a layout called "main" (main.rhtml) under view/layouts, and included >layout "main"< in pretty all of my controllers. main.rhtml has, amongst all the other HTML stuff: <%= render_component

Hello, I have a Mac & PC and want to install these plug-ins. I do not understand the svn, what commands do I use? Thanks Frank

Hi, For my app i need to generate pdf file for reports.

How''s the experience with using ActiveRBAC? For my "next 4 days with rails" :P I''d like to consider adding Role-based access to the To-Do List application in the original "four days w/ rails" tutorial. Just wondering if ActiveRBAC would be a good place to start? Thanks! For those who are wondering: https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/trac Cheers Mohit.

Wow, I can''t believe that after a few weeks of playing around with Rails I got stuck on something that seems like it should be really simple. How do I display a default welcome page for visitors who are not logged in and send logged in users to the appropriate controller. I am using the login_engine and the user_engine. The two methods I have seen looking at sample code are to stick a

I''ve got 8 scaffolds, each one can be considered an ''item'', such as a blog, photo, etc. Using login_engine and user_engine, I list all blogs belonging to a user by saying: @user=session[:user] @blogs=@user.blogs.find(:all) but then let''s say I want to create an option where I want to slice it differently: @user=session[:user] if @someOption ==1

One of these days I''ll figure this out, but in the meantime help me be a better programmer by eliminating some excess code: I''m trying to check to see if somebody trying to view/edit/update a product is the owner. In my scaffold I have this code that works: def edit @owner = Product.find(params[:id].to_i) if @owner.user_id == @user.id @product =

Hi all, I have defined the following method in both application.rb and application_helper.rb: def still_logged_in? !session[:user_id].nil? end This method is called in a before_filter in my application.rb, as well as in my layout/application.rhtml and view/user/login.rhtml (for showing a login / logout button, etc.) I had to put it both places, otherwise I would get an
