I have multiple sections of my site that need to be accessed through an admin section. I was able to get them to work by using admin/subfolder, but I would like to make a "dashboard" sort of page when going to just domain.com/admin. I''d like it to include a login form and once logged in show a list of all the controllers in the admin/ directory. I''ve searched through many different SVNs from RailsDay and have seen many sites that have their admin controllers in an admin/ folder, but none seem to have a default admin page that has links to each one. Can someone please give me some help or point me in the right direction? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I got it working. Can you or someone please point me into the direction or give me some tips on how to make it so a form will come up anytime someone goes to a page such as admin/ or admin/subfolder like so?

Thanks, I ran the three commands for Acts as Authenticated then put before_filter :login_required at the top of my controllers in the admin/ folder but I''m getting "undefined method `login_required'' for #<Admin::ScheduleController:0x282a5d0>". I read through the site you linked me to but I don''t see anything that I missed. What do I need to do to define login_required? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks, I got the form to appear, but where how do I set up the login/password.

The first thing you do is create the models and migration: script/generate authenticated user account (In older versions of the plugin, you needed to create the migration separately: script/generate authenticated_migration This should no longer be necessary.) This will not only create your User model, but an Account controller, some unit and functional1 tests, and some libraries in lib/. Once that’s done, you can move the include AuthenticatedSystem from app/ controllers/account_controller.rb to app/controllers/application.rb. This makes all the authentication methods available to all controllers." so if you''ve run the generator to create your models, there should also now be migrations in db/migrate to create the required tables.
