Rails - May 2005 - login_generator... edit only posts you have created

Is there an easy way to with login_gen to turn on a mechanism where
you can only edit what you added in the first place.... and not other
posts...

First, whatever it is that you want to be edited needs to "belongs_to
User", then in the edit action in the controller, add a check to make
sure that the user_id associated with the object is the same as the
user invoking the action. If they''re different, throw an error.

Even better only generate ''edit'' links if you made the post
(you''d
still want the serverside controller check to make sure people aren''t
generating the URL to try and edit other posts).
