Folks, I''d like to spec the behaviors that I''m adding to ApplicationController. Specifically, I''m adding: def authenticated? session[:username] != nil end I described ApplicationController, but couldn''t figure out how to call the authenticated method. I''m probably going about this quite wrongly and would appreciate any hints? Thanks, Scott...

I track svn/trunk of Rails using svn:externals Some change to Rails committed in the last 1-2 days broke my subclass of ApplicationController The example, below, works with Rails 1.0, but in today''s svn, it dies with the following error: "superclass mismatch for class FooController" class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base end class FooController < ApplicationController end The reason I'&...

Good morning rspec people! Still rspec nuby: I must do something wrong obviously. How can I spec about redirect_to at ApplicationController describe ApplicationController do it "method login_required should redirect to home path without login" do pending "I tried to use controller.login_required.should be_redirected and got NoMethodError with nil object didn''t expect error." end end...

Hi there, How is it possible to get access to an ApplicationController property from a view? Consider this (simplified) situation: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base def folder_id @folder_id = params[:id] return @folder_id end end class FolderController < ApplicationController def show @folder = Folder.find_by_id(...

Hi all, I''ve been Googling this one for a while now, and haven''t found a satisfactory answer. It has been posted here before by someone else, but it seems to have got forgotten, so here goes - perhaps someone can think up a way around the problem? In ApplicationController, I have the following method: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base <snip> helper_method :admin? # Discover whether the currently logged user is an admin user def admin? User.find_by_id(session[:user_id]).admin? unless session[:user_id].nil? end <snip&g...

Newbie to RoR -- as a long time Java Struts/etc. guy it is an awesome tool! I have implemented some basic login/session stuff with the help of a great tutorial, props to the author ( http://www.aidanf.net/rails_user_authentication_tutorial). I have a trivial instance method in ApplicationController, which just grabs the User object from the session. def current_user session[:user] end So I can of course call this from within any subclass controller. All I am now trying to do is implement it such that I have access to this user automatically in every view. What is the generally...

Hi all I want to outsource an extension for ApplicationController, that I had in application.rb so far, into a plugin. I have created this plugin, and in init.rb I load require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/lib/application_controller'' In lib/application_controller.rb I have the following code: class ApplicationController before_filter :pre...

Hi I would like to do the following: I have created an admin namespace and the required folders app/admin views/admin etc. And then I wanted all controllers under app/admin to inherit from a controller named AdminController which resists under app/admin/admin.rb instead of inhereting from ApplicationController, so I could better separate between admin and public section. The AdminController looks like this: module Admin class AdminController < ActionController::Base include AuthenticatedSystem helper :all protect_from_forgery layout ''admin/layouts/admin'' end e...

...class << self attr_accessor :account_system_type end end" Now I wanna configure AccountSystem.account_system_type=AccountSystem::SINGLE in one app. I used an initializer: config/initializers/account_initialization.rb where I put this line in. I included my AccountSystem in the ApplicationController. So now I''d like to check within my controllers the value of AccountSystem.account_system_type But there it is empty! However if I run "Ruby script\console" and type AccountSystem.account_system_type I get the value of 1 as I would expect. How can I achieve the same result...

Can I set an application wide instance variable that is available for all actions...and their views? eg. class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base @current_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end and everywhere I can call @current_user.id and I can get that object? Even down in the views? I could not get this to work... Thanks in advance, Jeff -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was...

...in initialize.rb). I''m thinking this might be a potential source of the problems. I have read about a number of people encountering this problem, and the general consensus about a workaround is to set the offending class as "unloadable". Will setting "unloadable" in ApplicationController propagate to the other controllers which subclass ApplicationController? How do we trace down the actual cause of this problem and fix it?

...ort of method that is added to application_controller so that all controllers can use it. It must be something simple that i''m doing wrong/omitting, can anyone help? eg if i have this empty method in application_controller def andreplace(str) end and my spec looks like this: describe ApplicationController do describe "andreplace(str)" do it "should format ands for ferret search" do andreplace("foo and bar").should eql("+foo +bar") end end end Currently, the test breaks, saying: NoMethodError in ''ApplicationController andreplac...

Hi All I can''t for the life of me see what is wrong with this. Maybe it''s cause it''s midnight... I want to put some data in a session and I have some code like this: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base model :mything def ApplicationController.chosen_thing session[:chosen_thing] ||= MyThing.defaultThing end end So whenever I try to access ApplicationController.mything in one of the controller subclasses I get the error below. Any help much appreciat...

Hello, I''m trying the secure_actions plugin (or ssl_requirements) I''m installed the plugin, and added the include in application controller: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base include ExceptionNotifiable include AuthenticatedSystem include SecureActions ... but when I try to run the specs I got this error: /home/edgar/sandboxes/sugarstats/config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:...

Slowly figuring out how to get my SaltedHashLoginGenerator stuff working. The wiki page says to put "before_filter :login_required" in the user (my "user" is "member") controller or in ApplicationController. However, wherever I put it I get NoMethodError. The rest of the SHLG stuff seems to be working... or at least I could get to the signup page, register, and confirm my registration from the email it sent. But the login_required method -- which is in my member_system.rb ("member" is...

Hello, Rather new to RoR, so I''m not sure about the terminology and such :-/ . My question is: how could I know the model which is associated to a controller? For example: - controller class is TestController, which is a subclass of ApplicationController - associated model class is Test How could I write some code in a method of ApplicationController to dermine the current associated model? So, if I have a "foo" method in ApplicationController (and no such method in TestController), when I try to go to /test/foo, ApplicationCont...

Hi ! I''ve pasted Rails Recipe #31: Authentication code, but I wish to use these methods in several controllers. Then I pasted them in ApplicationController, using before_filter method in all the other needed controllers. The problem is that Rails always tries to render a missing template inside the current controller ( app/views/controllers/admin/article/signin_form.rhtml ) while I''ve uploaded it in app/views/application/siginin_form.rhtml...

I created a user login system in ApplicationController. There is a def called signin. It needs a view file, signin.rhtml I have a couple of other controllers inheriting from ApplicationController. Where can I place the view file so it is viewable across all controllers? I tried the root view folder but that didn''t work. Right now, I would...
