Rails - Jul 2006 - account_location couple of questions.

Hi I''m having a look at the account_location plugin for a project and
there''s a couple of things i''m not sure on.

One is what the default_account_subdomain method does.

def default_account_subdomain
    @account.username if @account && @account.respond_to?(:username)
end

What is this used for?  Can anyone provide an example of it''s usage
please?


Also, the authenticate method in the example controller,  What exactly is
this doing?  This is essetially the same as the authenticated? method.
Again, what does it do, and how would i use it.

def authenticate
    session[account_domain] = :authenticated
    redirect_to :controller => "weblog"
end

protected
def authenticated?
      session[account_domain] == :authenticated
end

I would like to use this on an account level, but also have the standard
user stuff from acts_as_authenticated for individuals.
Any light on the subject is greatly appreicated.
