I need to know what controller and action the user is currently in to do various things in my layouts/application.rhtml file.

Hi, The user/login management system in Chapter 31: Authenticating Your Users and Chapter 32: Authorizing Users with Roles of Chad Fowler''s Rails Recipes looks reasonable and adequate. However, when I ran the Chapter 31 code, I get the following error: Username or password invalid And I am not even given the chance to sign in; that is, the signin form does not appear at all. Has

Hi: I''m trying to get a page setup with the left side having a collapsable javascript menu (built from the database) and the right side having more data about each node in the tree... very standard actually. I figured frames would be a good way to go, because as the tree expands as the user dives further in, the frame will add scroll bars without disrupting the left hand side. The

My app has a header & footer I want common to each section. They live in app/views/shared/_header.rhtml & _footer.rhtml.

Question for you all is it possible to use an action in an if statement? I am using the same form for edit and new and I have a cancel button on the page. This cancel button is built with an if statement that looks right now to see if a parameter exists to define where to go back to if the user cancel. The problem occurs when the user submits the form and there are missing fields by

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 have a navigation menu that contains a link per controller in my application. This menu is the same for all controllers, but I want this behaviour: <a>Users</a> <span>Statistics</span> and <span>Users</span> <a>Statistics</a> depending on the page you''re currently on.

Hiall, I want to make an image_tag from within a controller in order to be able to present a link (with a status image) in a view.

Hi all, I''m in the process of creating rspecs for my helpers. One of the helpers in app/helpers/application_helper.rb looks like this: def page_name @page_name || "Define @page_name in #{controller.controller_name}::#{controller.action_name}" end The rspec is simply: it "should something" do page_name end

Hi all, I wonder if it''s possible to retrieve the current controller name and possibly the action when you''re in a view. i.e. I call the same template/partial view from different controllers and I''d like to know when I''m in the view code which controller is calling it... Any ideas? Sorry if it''s obvious but I couldn''t find it in the doc.

I''m assuming this is the template that displays the error message and a stack trace when an error is raised in the

Can someone give me a working example of current_page?(), because I''ve been trying to get this to work for a while now.
