Rails - Dec 2005 - Passing parameters to before_filter methods

I have a method that checks for a given role. I want to write  
something in my controllers like

	before_filter :check_roles(''admin'')

Which will ensure the current user has the admin role. Is it possible  
to pass parameters in this way?

Ian

Hi Ian, I do this:

def Controller < ActionController::Base
  before_filter { |c| c.role_required ''admin'' }

  def role_required(role)
    ...
  end
end

cheers,
Gerret

Thanks *very* much for that. Think it would have taken me a while to  
figure that one out!
