I am using the the authorization recipe outlined in Rails Recipes.Is it possible for one role, say ''admin'', to have access to every action on every controller without explicitly having to create a Right for each?

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

In my model I have: class Component < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :component_type belongs_to :component_group breakpoint file_column :content, :magick => { :versions

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

I just upgraded to edge rails so I can use the BigDecimal support for monetary calculations. I''ve just come across the following problem.. Right now, I''ve got a content controller which is responsible for updating much of my site''s content.

I was just playing around in irb and noticed that while BigDecimal + Integer => BigDecimal, BigDecimal + Float => Float. Is there any reason for this? It seems inconsistent and means you have to check the class of any number you add to a BigDecimal, which looks very un-Ruby-like to me. Ashley

There seems to be a bug with skip_before_filter using the :only or :except conditionals. Or am I using them completely wrong? I have this code: The result is that :test_filter is skipped for both index, and index_no_filter. application.rb # Filters added to this controller will be run for all controllers in the application. # Likewise, all the methods added will be available for all

Hello, In my application I want several before filters to apply to every request except for login and authenticate.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to output validation errors in a nested form? I suppose this should be possible, but I am experiencing an error message that I can''t track down. The error I get is the following : TypeError in Store/orders#create Showing app/views/store/orders/new.html.erb where line #45 raised: can''t convert Array into String This is ocurring in the

Folks, My understanding of how filters work is that I should return true 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] =
