Hello, I''m trying to spec a Rails application using the couple restful_authentication/acl_system2 plugins. In my admin layout, I put the following code : <% restrict_to "admin" do -%> <ul id="admin-tabs"> <li> /users Users management </li> </ul> <% end -%> Then in my spec file

in the Rails Recipes book there is a chapter on role-based authentication. it basically set up priviliges based on what page the user was able to access. i went through the chapter and felt like i got a pretty good understanding of how to do it. now i am needing something a little more advanced though. instead of a per page (or action) i would like to have certain sections on a page either

Friends- Here is another plugin hot off the presses of the three day weekend ;) Its a role based authorization system. I have been talking with Bill Katz about this system so it ties in with his recent announcement as well. Its just my implementation.

Hi, I''ve got this method : def is_admin? @current_user && @current_user.admin == 1 end I want to be able to call this method from all my controllers and all my views. If I put this method in application_controller I can call it from all my controllers but none of my views. If I put this method in application_helper I can call it from all my views but none of my controllers.

Hi all, I want to limit access to model objects based on the role of the logged in user. It seemed the most blunt way of doing this would be make copies of each controller which accessed the models and use one of the access control systems out there to limit access to the controllers. However, with 9 different controllers this seems like a terrible choice. Here''s what I''ve

Hello, I need to write a function that will return a link only if the current user is the owner.

Models: ------------- Service has_many AccessControl AccessControl belongs_to Service application.rb ------------------------- $types = Array["Athens", "htpasswd", "IP", "None",

Don''t know if anyone else has experienced this but I''m having a problem with the access_denied method in Ezra''s ACL access control plugin. It''s working fine (in conjunction with acts_as_authenticated) until it comes across a user it denies access to, in which case it throws the following error: NoMethodError in Admin#index protected method

I''ve installed acts_as_authenticated and have that working like a charm and now would like to add the acl_system2 plugin so I can do some role based authorization stuff. I went ahead and installed the plugin like this: >ruby script\plugin source http://opensvn.csie.org/ezra/rails/plugins/dev/acl_system2 Then I installed the lib and test >ruby script\plugin install lib >ruby

What do I need to do to be able to use an acts_as_authenticated current_user in a model?

How do I show the selected values in options_for_select? I have a Service model and a AccessControl model. When a user edits a Service I want the services access_controls to be pre-selected. Models: Service has_many AccessControls AccessControl belongs_to Service application.rb: $types = Array["Athens", "htpasswd", "IP", "None", "Other",

Hi all, I''ve been prototyping a Windows-only Dir class for Ruby. Below is what I''ve got so far. The class methods were easy, except for Dir.glob. The code in dir.c is just nasty, and I can''t help but think that it could be heavily refactored. I did come across this link: http://www.codeproject.com/file/fileglob.asp But I haven''t investigated it yet. Anyone

This patch implements the Flask tools for the xen control plane (xm & xend). The patch also refactors the ACM toolchain so that a common security API (based on the existing ACM toolchain) is exported to xm and xend. To create a domain with the Flask module, add the following (for example) to a domain''s configuration file access_control =

Hi, I''m trying to send some emails with the same formatting as my pages & I can''t seem to access my display routines in application_helper.rb. I''m trying a hack to bypass this. At the top of my ActionMailer notifier script I''ve included application_helper.rb - my understanding is that this should arrive as a module and should be able to be used

Does anyone have a sense for how painful the 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is going to be for existing apps? I''m finishing up my first real RoR application with Rails 1.0. I can live with it staying at that level, but I really want to use the has_many :through attribute to clean up some of my code. I''m not particularly interested in edge Rails, mainly because the documentation for

I am trying to run some functional (or are they unit?) tests on my application_helper.rb. So far, I''ve not had any success in being able to call the methods defined in application_helper.rb.
