hi, this is part of the standard UserSession Code: def create @user_session = UserSession.new(params[:user_session]) @user_session.save do |result| if result flash[:notice] = "Successfully logged in." p "----------A-------------------" p @user_session.inspect p "-----------B------------------" p current_user.inspect ........ LOG A: "#<UserSession: {:login=>\"tom\", :password=>\"<protected>\"}>" B: "nil" but, i do have this in the app-controller: def current_user_session return @current_user_session if defined?(@current_user_session) @current_user_session = UserSession.find end def current_user return @current_user if defined?(@current_user) @current_user = current_user_session && current_user_session.record end so , why cant i access current_user- record (in A)? thx -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
