Rails - Nov 2006 - filter function with parameter

hey,

i have found your post about filter function with parameters:

Hi!

I want to add a function with a static paramter ("2" in the example)
to
a filter, but somehow Rails seems to be looking for another syntax.

before_filter :check_quantity(2), :only => [:show]

doesn''t work. What''s the right way to do this?

Thanks a lot!

---------------------------------

Can u help me with this??

i have this code in a module file. (module LoginSystem)

def module_backend_required(the_module = "test",the_action =
"test")
     p "-----------------------"
     p "the_module" + the_module
     p "the_action" + the_action
     p "-----------------------"


    if not protect?(action_name)
      return true
    end

    if @session[:backend] and authorize?(@session[:backend])
      return true
    end

    # store current location so that we can
    # come back after the user logged in
    store_location

    # call overwriteable reaction to unauthorized access
    access_denied
    return false
  end

an user has a role, and a role has many modulepermissions
like module: books , actions: create, read, edit, .....

in my controller i have this

before_filter
:module_backend_required(''users'',''update''),
:only => [
:edit, :update ]
 =>> syntax error on ''users'',''update''

when i do  before_filter :module_backend_required(), :only => [ :edit, 
:update ]
the controler prints
--------------------
the_moduletest
the_actiontest
--------------------

How can i get the 2 parameters? so i dont need to make a lot functions 
for each module/action.

Thanks
