Hello everyone, I''ve got several different user roles (i.e. admin, user, guest, ...) and have set up a bunch of controllers for each user role. I''m trying to set up some sort of validation that the user accessing e.g. the admin/subjects controller has the ''admin'' role. The brute force way to do this would be something like: - for each controller, put in

I''ve got an application that will have a handful of lookup tables. To be clear by this I mean tables that only have two attributes, id, name and are used to provide drop-down lists for other tables/forms so that these fields have "standard" values. I need 5 to 10 of these tables. I''m a ruby/rails neophyte but I''ve read Agile Web Devel with Rails, Rails

Hello. I will appreciate the opinion. What is the standard way of separating admin functions from normal- user functions? before_filter in one controller? Use two controllers, i.e. ProductController and Admin/ ProductController?

HELP! I''m a relatively new rails user and I''m stuck. I''m trying to build a relatively simple blog and I decided that I liked the way named routes look in the code. So I added map.resources :posts to my routes.db file. I then went through and updated my controller to take advantage of the named routes that were generated. I also updated all of my views and everything

I leave a notice in the flash and do a redirect from a before_filter. Can someone confirm that the first request after this, i.e. the page I redirect to, doesn''t/isn''t supposed to clear the flash? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/flash%2C-before_filter-and-redirect_to-t1367103.html#a3665933 Sent from the RubyOnRails Users forum at Nabble.com.

Hi,- I am looking for a clean and secure way for an ActiveRecord instance to delete itself. Say I have a User model in my app. Then the destructive action would be /users/user_id/destroy. If this action is not secured by a filter like: (*) before_filter :check_administrator_role, :only => :destroy then any user could potentially log in and start issuing: /users/1/destroy /users/2/destroy .

Hi There, I am trying to write my first tests for a role bassed authentication taken from Rails Recipies.

Hi all We all know the model-controller-paradigm: I have a model "News" which has a corresponding CRUD-controller "NewsController". But now I''m quite unsure about the following... Guess we have normal visitors that visit our site www.??.com/news and we have administrators that create and modify news items. The admin should see an "Edit" link and a

Hi all, I am using the LoginGenerator and Ezra''s acl_system2 to protect certain actions in my controllers. I have written some functional tests to check for correct handling of redirects, flashes, etc. The flashes however only get populated on the first get action in any given test. Here is what I have so far: In the controller: class PageController < AC before_filter

I have been scratching my head on this one for most of the day. Hopefully someone can help explain why before_filter isn''t working for my codes. In my Application controller, I have this: before_filter :login_required, :except => [:newacct, :create_newacct, :passwd_reset ] def login_required unless session[:user_id] flash[:notice] = "Please log in"

The docs say that for direct dispatching mode to use controller filters, but when the controller is run I get the following error. The authorize method is in application.rb. Works fine when it''s not a web service api. Should I be using before_invocation instead even with direct dispatching mode? Or can I not have the authorize method in application.rb? undefined method

I want to isolate and spec methods that are shared by controllers, and live in application.rb. Whereas I usually also provide examples in individual controllers that use these methods, not necessarily all the edge cases and I''d like to isolate the examples. This is the approach I''m taking (thanks to bryanl for suggestions and http://pastie.caboo.se/123626). WDYT? This

I've pulled out the no-longer-necessary remnants of the old way of handling auth and before_filters as well as fixing a couple bugs that had crept in along the way.
