similar to: acl_system plugin first look

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

Don''t know if anyone else has experienced this but I''m having a problem with the access_denied method in Ezra''s ACL access control plugin. It''s working fine (in conjunction with acts_as_authenticated) until it comes across a user it denies access to, in which case it throws the following error: NoMethodError in Admin#index protected method

i found Ezra''s acl_system plugin yesterday and i am trying to figure it out. based on the simple instructions on the site, it does exactly what i need but i''m getting some errors when i try to use it: NoMethodError in UsersController#index You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

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.

Hi all, I am using the LoginGenerator and Ezra''s acl_system2 to protect certain actions in my controllers. I have written some functional tests to check for correct handling of redirects, flashes, etc. The flashes however only get populated on the first get action in any given test. Here is what I have so far: In the controller: class PageController < AC before_filter

Hi all, I''m using acts_as_authenticated for the front end facing part of my site. I have a model called Customer. I now want to protect the admin sides of things. I am thinking of using Ezra''s acl plugin (http://opensvn.csie.org/ezra/rails/plugins/dev/acl_system2/README) for this. My only problem is that I don''t want the model for admin users to be called Customer,

Friends- I have taken a new job and will be moving at the end of March. The newspaper I currently work for is looking for someone to take my place. I have really enjoyed working here.

I''ve successfully gotten acts_as_authenticated working. Currently the before_filter line for my admin screen is like this: class AdminController < ApplicationController include AuthenticatedSystem before_filter :login_required Only issue I have now is that anyone logged in can access that screen. I''d like to differentiate between a regular user and

Hello list, I have an app that has a very simple authorization scheme. A person can have many roles and roles can have many people. In my app, I''d like to do before_filter :login_required (since no role name is provided, it accepts any users with credentials) before_filter :login_required ("administrator") (only accepts those with role administrator) before_filter

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.
