Hey all,
I have this in my plugins directory:
1: <% if current_user && current_user.admin? %>
2: <div class="blogAdminLinks">
3: <ul class="blogList">
4: <li class="blogListFirst"><%= link_to ''New
Blog Post'',
new_blog_post_path %></li>
As you can see,it references current_user
So I define current_user in User model as a global variable:
cattr_accessor :current_user
I application controller, I define who current user is:
def current_user
@current_user = User.find(1)
return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)
end
It does appear that the method overrides the one in model, assuming the
one in model is a getter/setter.
Nevertheless, when I make a reference to it in one of my views, I get
undefined error method. Any idea?
Thanks for response.

Any idea? >At the top of your controller, you''ll want to add helper_method :current_user But I don''t understand what the ''cattr_accessor :current_user'' in your user model accomplishes; where or how will you use that? You aren''t using it in the controller. What I''m saying is, you don''t need that, and probably don''t want it. :-)> > Thanks for response. > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rubyonrails-talk+unsubscribe-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

> At the top of your controller, you''ll want to add > helper_method :current_userThanks for response, but I place this in application controller: helper_method :current_user private def require_login unless logged_in? flash[:error] = "You must be logged in to access this section" redirect_to login_path end end def logged_in? !!current_user end def current_user @current_user ||= session[:user_id] && User.find(session[:user_id]) end And now because all my contorllers inherit from it, I get undefined method current_user on all the pages, even though current user is clearly defined. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Whip a "public" in front of it, or move the method above the private declaration. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
