At present, I use an update like this to set the user''s last login time: authenticated_user.update_attribute(:last_login, Time.now) However, this calls the following, updating all fields: UPDATE users SET `last_login` = ''2006-05-02 13:27:41'', `hashed_password` = .... Is there any way I can tell ActionRecord to only update the one field? I don''t really want...

Forgive my ignorance ya''ll. I''m trying to extract a username from a table using the user id. I''ve tried: @authenticated_user = User.find(:first, :select => "login", :conditions => "id = ''1''") AND: @authenticated_user = User.find_by_sql("select login from users where id=''1''") within an action that corresponds to a view that has <%= @authenticated_...

Hi, i used the rick olson''s restful_authentication plugin rails 1.2.6 i wanted to check for authenticated user so i wrote this in my application.rb # Filters before_filter :authenticate # Sets @authenticated_user if the user provides valid # credentials. May be used to deny access or customise the view def authenticate @authenticated_user = nil authenticate_with_http_basic do |user, pass| @authenticated_user = User.authenticate(user, pass) end return true end #Filter for actio...

My authentication (signup/login) is up and running in my app, now I need to implement an authorisation system. Its not going to be a complex one. One admin (me) and then normal members and premium members. Any tutorials or tips on a simple way to get this running? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Why am I now getting these errors? expected redirect to {:action=>"index"}, got redirect to "http://test.host/authenticated_users" I know in the AuthenticatedUsersController, the redirect call is redirect_to :action => ''index'' So why should I have to convert this to a url in my specs?

Okay, I download login generator and I used it on my new app but, it''s not working correctly. If the user logins on the same session as he created he will login if it isn''t the same session it fails. What''s going on? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...e user object we found @user end However, when called from my LoginController, like so: def login if request.get? session[:user_id] = nil @user = User.new else @user = User.new(params[:user]) # TODO: wrap this in a rescue block to handle exception authenticated_user = @user.try_to_authenticate if authenticated_user session[:user_id] = authenticated_user.id redirect_to :action => session[:intended_action], :controller => session[:intended_controller] else flash[:notice] = ''Invalid username or password.'...

My application needs to know if a user is an administrator, for security and aesthetic reasons. At the moment, I store true/false in the session by doing the following at login: session[:user_is_admin] = authenticated_user.is_admin? Is this OK to do? Or should I really be doing the following every time: User.find(session[:user_id]).is_admin? (user_id is always in the session too) Is there a nicer way to do this, or should I be using one of the above? Cheers. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
