Hi, I''ve just downloaded the acts_as_authenticated plugin but I can''t find much in the way of documentation. First is there anywhere that someone could point me to to get a handle on this. Second.. Does the plugin still require the use of generators to use? Thanx in advance Dan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Have you seen the "README" file? It''s not extensive but it should get you started, and it tells you how to use the 3 included generators. From there, look at the generated code; it''s simple enough.

Dan, I just switched to acts_as_authenticated from login_engine. I used this wiki page, and got it running pretty quickly: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Acts_as_authenticated I''d be happy to try to answer any questions if you have any trouble. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Brian.. Thanx for the response. I have checked out this Wiki page as well and got it going.. It just seems strange to me that the Acts_as_authenticated *plugin* is actually a generator. Is this correct or have I misunderstood? Cheers On 3/9/06, Brian Donahue <brian@pigeonmoon.com> wrote:> Dan, > > I just switched to acts_as_authenticated from login_engine.

It''s a plugin with generators, so.... both. - james On 3/9/06, Liquid <has.sox@gmail.com> wrote:> Hi Brian..

I''m still fairly new to Rails, so I probably wouldn''t be the best person to answer that question. My understanding was that it generates classes for your specific app, but also has its own classes it uses - but I haven''t really dug around in the plugin folder yet. I just know that it worked well, and seemed to be the more preferred option by people who knew what they were talking about :) On 3/8/06, Liquid <has.sox@gmail.com> wrote:> > Hi Brian..

You can remove the plugin after use if you wish. -- Rick Olson http://techno-weenie.net

Reading the generated code for the model and controller should give you a fairly good view of what it does, it''s fairly well commented. If you can''t understand what that code does, I''m afraid you shouldn''t be messing with ''acts_as_authenticated'' and should learn a bit more Rails before attempting that --no offense intended. -- ---------------------------------------------------- http://sobrerailes.com
Thanx for the feedback. I''ve got it generated and running now.
