MainController implies main.rhtml, which will automatically have access to the methods inside MainHelper (in \app\helpers\main_helper.rb). Should not the partial templates called from main.rhtml via <%= render :partial => ''partial'' %> also have access to the methods in main_helper ? I have tried <% display_dates = create_display_dates(@events) %> and <%

Hi all, I''m running into this frustrating issue with the acts_as_authenticated plugin and one of the additional fields I added to the users table. I have added a column ''account_type'' to the users table (among several others) which denotes the type of account it is. This stores an integer value that is set by the system during account creation. The value is getting set

I apologize if this is a very simple question; I''ve searched the forums, wiki, Google, and Agile Web Development with Rails to no avail. Is there a way to put conditional validation in the model? For instance, if I want to limit items a user can add unless the user is an admin? My current code is: validates_uniqueness_of :user_id, :scope => ''event_id'',

Currently I have a registration form that is built like this: <label for="First name">First name</label> <%= text_field "user", "first_name" %><br> <label for="Last name">Last name</label> <%= text_field "user", "last_name" %><br> <label for="Email">Email</label>

I''m trying to modify the SaltedHashLoginGenerator to where it separates the users table into two tables: a users table which contains login info: token, salt, etc) and userprofiles table (which contains firstname, lastname, authlevel, etc) I''m trying to use the existent helper for user under app/helpers/user_helper.rb and copied to app/helpers/userprofiles_helper.rb and

Hi, I am getting the following error in WeBrick when using salted login generator: > ./script/../config/..//app/helpers/user_helper.rb:7: warning: already > initialized constant DEFAULT_HEAD_OPTIONS > 127.0.0.1 - - [31/May/2005:18:04:55 PDT] "HEAD /company.html HTTP/1.0" > 200 0 Now, I can easily get around this bug but i wondered how to prevent it from happening.

Hi, I have a situation I''m hoping someone out there may be able to shed some light on. I have a Rails app (2.1.0 on Ruby 1.8.7) with a wizard-based sign up process, that has recently been changed from storing incremental data in the database to having a medium sized object graph living in the user session until the user completes the entire sign up process (this is a business

Well, it turns out that this piece of software requires that a new user call the welcome action. The welcome action changes the user''s state to verified. Once the user is verified, he will be allowed to attempt authentication. The login page actually states this which is useful to me once I read it. I get the URL to the welcome action from the e-mail sent out or the development.log

I''ve got these two lines set up in my controller before_filter :check_authentication before_filter :check_max_hands, :only => [ :play ] Here''s the corresponding code for each def check_authentication unless session[:user] and authorize?(session[:user]) session[:intended_action] = request.request_uri redirect_to :controller => ''user'',

I''ve been battling with assert_select in my integration tests for several evenings now. I''m testing a multi-step form, and after submitting the first step, my assert_selects fail on the attempts to find the form on the next page. However if I print out the response object, it has the exact text of what I''m trying to match. Here is the complete integration test. The

Fistly, many, many thanks for RSpec and Story Runner. Minor request to improve readability of output Given a scenario item with multiple params.. Eg.

I cannot get the file_column plugin to work. Probably something stupid I am doing wrong as I am pretty much a newbie... 1. I added a varchar column to my table called "image" 2. This is my class: class User < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :image, :magick => { :geometry => "80x80>" } attr_accessor :new_password ... rest of class 3. In my controller I

Hi all, How does this look as a general approach to a SID.create method: # Creates and initializes def self.create(authority, *sub_authorities) if sub_authorities.length > 8 raise ArgumentError, ''maximum of 8 subauthorities allowed'' end authorities = Array.new(8, 0) authorities.replace(sub_authorities) count = authorities.select{ |e| e > 0 }.size

Hi all, I hope someone can help with what is probably a simple newb installation mistake on my part. I''m having a couple of problems with the salted hash login generator. I installed it following the quickstart guide, and the unit tests work like a charm. There are two errors and a failure on the function tests, though; the verified field seems to be involved in at least one of

I recently ran a migration to add the following to an existing user model: t.string "crypted_password" t.string "password_salt" t.string "persistence_token" There is an existing (cleartext) password field, but authlogic doesn''t seem to be reading that on existing accounts. As a result, all logins for existing accounts fail. How can I get
