Hi there, I''m having a bit of an issue with my before_filter. I know that the filters put in the application.rb controller are global for all the controllers. In my application filter I''d like to allow access to the RSS feed method in a ''member'' controller and skip the login checks that the before_filters are currently performing. In my application my filters

Hi everybody, I would like to count how many times names in list L, nombreL, apear in list C, nombreC. Can I improve the next program? cuenta <- 0 topL <- length(nombreL) topC <- length(nombreC) for (i in 1:topL) { for (j in 1:topC) { k <- grep(noquote(nombreL[i]),nombreC[j])

I''ve got a block of code that''s turning out.. well - just plain ugly. So i know I must not be doing it the Ruby way. The main problem I''m having is in dealing with handling errors - and just not finding much Rails documentation that gives a deeper understanding of how to handle errors in Rails (outside of several docs on the catch-all''s) the main method

One of these days I''ll figure this out, but in the meantime help me be a better programmer by eliminating some excess code: I''m trying to check to see if somebody trying to view/edit/update a product is the owner. In my scaffold I have this code that works: def edit @owner = Product.find(params[:id].to_i) if @owner.user_id == @user.id @product =

I have two before_filters for a few of my controllers. They are running my own methods authorize and admin_authorize. authorize is called on just about every action to make sure that a user is logged in. admin_authorize is called on about 80% of the actions and is used to make sure that a user is an administrator. If a user tries to access an admin_authorize protected action without being

I''m already successfully testing before_filters in application_controller courtesy of this blog post: http://www.movesonrails.com/articles/2008/01/23/spec-ing-your-application-controller However, i can;''t work out how to test the sort of method that is added to application_controller so that all controllers can use it. It must be something simple that i''m doing

Code sample: class SomeController < ApplicationController before_filter do |c| add_crumb "Blah", "/blah" #breadcrumbs plugin redirect_to :controller => "foo", :action => "bar" unless c.send (:has_package?) end # Rest of the controller... private def has_package? # A bunch of logic work to check to make sure # somebody''s session contains

I have two before_filters for my application that both redirect. The first checks whether there is an active session and if so, whether it has timed out (a la the recipes book). This is run from ApplicationController. The second filter is in use throughout most of the app and checks to see whether the user has the correct credentials to view the controller. This is run from individual

I''ve got a couple of before_filters that need to run in a specific order. One does a redirect_to if a session variable isn''t set. The other does a find which will fail if the session variable isn''t set. So they need to run in that order. But prepend_before_filter doesn''t seem to be working as advertised. Anybody got any insight? I''m still running

Hello, I''m working on specs for a controller that handles authentication using the restful_authentication plugin. I''m trying to find a resource (tutorial or examples, if possible) about the best way to go about writing mocks and specs to make sure that things like my before_filters are working correctly. Does anyone know of any good resources for this? Thanks, Les

Hi--I''m trying to implement a 2-level authentication system, where I have one before_filter which does general user authentication, and another which does further authorization for a specific controller. I have it set up as follows: before_filter :authorize_level_2 prepend_before_filter :authorize_level_1 which causes authorize_level_1() to run, and then authorize_level_2().

Hi, I have four controllers: one for the store front and three for the store admin. In each controller I have copied and pasted exactly the same code. It is a method called redirect_to() to override Action Controller''s redirect_to(). Copy and paste is bad. I can think of two options but I don''t know how Rails will feel about them. Option 1: Can I create an intermediate

sorry, because it seems that I need more explanation on this Rails Recipes authorization - I finally got the code working but after using the login I get this back from Rails- 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],

Hi, I have a standard type authentication technique direct from AWDWR, so there is a before_filter :authorize_employee, :except => :login in my employees_controller.rb the authorize_employee is in application.rb def authorize_employee unless session[:employee_id] flash[:notice] = "Please log in" # save the URL the user requested so we can hop

My code that acts if a session has timed out looks like this: reset_session session[:expires_at] = nil # TODO - This flash is never shown, because we redirect maybe? flash[:error] = ''Your session has timed out, please login to continue.'' # An attempt to make flash stick around, not working flash.keep redirect_to :controller => ''security'',

I''m trying to add an application enabled/disabled flag in my application.. This is my code. [code=] # application.rb ... before_filter :check_enabled_flag private def check_enabled_flag application_flag = ApplicationFlag.find(:first) if application_flag.application_enabled redirect_to application_disabled_path and return end end[/code] and for some reason

Im still following the authorization recipe from the book, now all works fine but im getting trouble in how handle the model authorization result, if the user and pass are correct, it goes to a welcome screen(admin.rhtml) but if wrong the model prints a message in an ugly exception like page "usr and pass not correct", i want to redirect the user to the login

Right now I have a controller for "events" that belong to a specific user. I only want the creator to be able to edit or delete the event. I''ve got the proper foreign keys set up. I''ve finally arrived at the point where I can take baby steps with code, but looks like my first steps are in flagrant violation of the DRY principle. Here''s what I have so far in

hey guys, i am writing a couple of actions which are only used with an xhr. I ''protect'' them all against a direct access with the ''verify'' method in the controller verify :only => ..., :xhr => true it would be cool if the system would automatically recognize the xhr actions and protect them ... i want to postfix methods with ''_xhr'' and

i built my own login system, but unfortunately, i am having problems (ie, can''t really figure out how) to redirect a person back to the page he was requesting before logging in...say, as the admin i want to edit a certain message/logo, whatever, so i click on it, and i get redirected to my login page. after the admin logs in, he gets redirected to the homepage - i couldn''t
