...Routing Error No url can be generated for the hash {} I''m guessing it''s coming from the redirect- def login if request.post? session[:user] = User.authenticate(params[:first_name], params[:last_name], params[:password]).id redirect_to :action => session[:intended_action], :controller => session[:intended_controller] I don''t see an explanation in the recipe about this redirect. Do I need it ? TIA Stuart

I have a few pages where a user may do something (add tags, login, etc) and I would like to redirect them back to the last page they were at before calling that action. Is there an easy way to do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...ecial) and go to no specific URL. Any ideas? This is what my login/login action looks like. def login session[:user_id] = nil if request.post? user = User.authenticate(params[:name], params[:password]) if user session[:user_id] = user.id if session[:intended_action].nil? || session[:intended_controller].nil? if (@request.env[''HTTP_USER_AGENT''] == "MyCustomCClient") #did it come from my C++ program? #### <---- I need something here -----> #### else redirect_to(:action =&...

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

Didn''t think I''d be back so quick with another question but here goes: In this recipe for the signin or login (as I call it) there are these two lines if the user authenticates correctly: session[:user] = user.id redirect_to :action => session[:intended_action], :controller => session[:intended_controller] So I''m not seeing anything in the way of an explanation but reading the code it looks like there should be a session controller with a session action . Is that correct ? Right now I have a sessions table set up, I''ve made the cha...

Hi, The user/login management system in Chapter 31: Authenticating Your Users and Chapter 32: Authorizing Users with Roles of Chad Fowler''s Rails Recipes looks reasonable and adequate. However, when I ran the Chapter 31 code, I get the following error: Username or password invalid And I am not even given the chance to sign in; that is, the signin form does not appear at all. Has

...ue if everything is ok and false if not. How does the filter below work then (from the Rails Recipies book)? It would return nil if there''s a user in the session. Does nil count as true? before_filter :check_authentication def check_authentication unless session[:user] session[:intended_action] = action_name session[:intended_controller] = controller_name redirect_to :action => "signin" end end Thanks, Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/

...;You must log in to continue." redirect_to :controller => "/account", :action => "log_in" end Then once the action I''m redirected to is completed I use this code to return the user to the appropriate original page: redirect_to :action => session[:intended_action], :controller => session[:intended_controller] Do I need a line that works like: session[:intended_module] = module_name Or am I totally barking up the wrong tree and should not be redirecting in and out of modules? It seems repititious to have different log in methods for...

I''ve got these two lines set up in my controller before_filter :check_authentication before_filter :check_max_hands, :only => [ :play ] Here''s the corresponding code for each def check_authentication unless session[:user] and authorize?(session[:user]) session[:intended_action] = request.request_uri redirect_to :controller => ''user'', :action => ''signin'' return false end end def check_max_hands u = current_user if !u.account_type.unlimited? && u.hands_played_this_month >= u.account_type.hand...
