Hi, I am following the excellent tutorial http://www.railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=14216 (post 5) on how to implement an access control feature i.e. only a friend is allowed to view a profile of a particular member.

Hi there, I''d like to know if there is a solution to the scenario when using acts_as_authenticated and ajax: I have an action in my controller which is protected by login via acts_as_authenticated. Now, this action can be called both by human interaction, as well as ajax requests. (It is an add to cart link). It works great as long as I am in an authenticated session. Now, I want to

Hi there I''m having trouble getting the ''remember me'' functionality going in acts_as_authenticated. The issue seems to be that the login_from_cookie method is using only the first 60 characters of the remember_token string in the database, whereas the string in the db is 75 characters long. I can see in my dev log that login_from_cookie is trying to find the user but

which to use? we''re not doing anyting too fancy, though that may change -- we might need rbac in the future. i''m using loging_engine right now, pretty happily, but i came across a blog entry that claims acts_as_authenticated is the latest and greatest. if anyone has some pros and cons to share, i''d appreciate it -- would like to make the correct choice before we launch

Sorry for the newbie question. I''d like to check out the Acts_as_authenticated plugin but have no idea how to conveniently set up the User Table in Mysql.
