There have been a few discussions about how to handle requiring a user to login and then redirecting them back to the original page. I just updated my previously unannounced plugin to handle this case. Check out Facebooker Authentication: http://github.com/mmangino/facebooker_authentication/tree/master It''s a really simple plugin that generates a user module as well as a couple of controller helpers. To use it, just include the controller module and then use the login_required filter. login_required will handle calling ensure_... If the user is not logged in, they will be redirected to the login url and sent back to the requesting page afterwards. It''s somewhat untested. I''m not using the actual plugin in production anywhere, but it is an extraction from an existing application. Mike -- Mike Mangino http://www.elevatedrails.com
