...to force it to do so would violate MVC, but is there some other way to accomplish having something like this in a controller: loggedin=false; if session[:user] Applicant.find(session[:user]).roles.each{|r| loggedin=true if r.name== "admin"} end skip_before_filter :check_authentication, :check_authorization if loggedin Thanks, Howard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thank you in advance for your help. I am relatively new to both Rails and Rspec and I am hoping for some insight from some experienced veterans. Right now I am using Rspec for code that has already been written so that additional functionality can be developed using the BDD method. My problem shows up when I try to spec controllers that are behind the login system. Each page checks for the

I''ve successfully gotten acts_as_authenticated working. Currently the before_filter line for my admin screen is like this: class AdminController < ApplicationController include AuthenticatedSystem before_filter :login_required Only issue I have now is that anyone logged in can access that screen.

First off, it looks like my "skip_before_filter :check_authentication, :check_authorization, :only => [:login, :forgot_password]" doesn''t work at all, since the before_filter gets executed for every action, including :login and :forgot_password. Also, when I try doing something simple in a view such as: <%= text_field :model_name, :attribute_name %>, I get: Actio...
