similar to: need help with some ugly code - is there a better way?

I do not seem to understad what this error is about. Some body help. wrong number of arguments (1 for 2) RAILS_ROOT: C:/INSTAN~1/rails_apps/project/config/..

I''m trying to create a simple authentication system but am failing miserably. I''m (sort of) following the "Logging In" chapter of the Agile book. Ideally, any access to http://example.com/publish (and any of its subdirectories) should redirect to http:/example.com/publish/login when there is no valid session user_id. Code so far:

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'',

Hi I am new to ruby and trying to obtain the user name in the login index.rhtml where I could display "You have logged in [user name]" How could I do this? I have been trying different options after reading the ruby manual but still throw an error. please help -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Let me preface by saying i''m a total noob at ruby/rails. :-) For some reason, I am just not grasping the concept of has_one & belongs_to... I''m working on a project that includes user authentication, and 3 different types of user profiles. User profiles are either "fan", "band", or "venue" objects, and user logins are "user"

Hi there, I''m trying to set up LoginEngine with Rails 1.1.2 on Ruby 1.8.4 on a Windows XP box and the log is reporting: undefined method `generate_security_token'' for #<User:0x39436a0> Rendering user/signup Rendered user/_edit (0.01600) Rendered user/_password (0.01600) Rails appears to be failing on key = @user.generate_security_token in user_controller.rb in the

All, Version 1.0.8 of the salted hash login generator is available. This contains a few minor bug fixes with the generator plus some README clarifications. If you are successfully running with the code already, you probably do not need this. Joe

Rails 2.3.5 I am working on a nested form that assigns roles to users through a table called clearances. I have attr_acessable turned off globally in an initializer: ActiveRecord::Base.send(:attr_accessible, nil) I have this set in clearance.rb attr_accessible(:description, :effective_from, :role_id, :superceded_after, :user_id) And this is what params looks like after the

Hi there, I have a User model and a Profile model. A user has_one profile, and a profile belongs_to a user. The profile model contains a user_id column as the foreign key. The problem comes in when I want a user to register. In the user_controller I have a method that creates the user. I also want the profile model to be filled in with the appropriate user_id foreign key (I don''t care

My problem: Mock ''Task_1005'' received unexpected message :user_id= with (1) No matter what I do to try to stub that out it will still fail out and give me that message. Here is my spec describe TasksController, "handling POST /tasks" do before(:each) do @task = mock_model(Task, :to_param => "1", :save => true)

Hi, I''m trying to test my ad_controller. In order to create an ad, the user has to be logged in, so I have written a login() that logs in a valid user and generates a session[:user_id], like: def login (login="bob", password="atest") post "user/login", :user => { :login => login, :password => password } assert_response 302 # redirect

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

There''s got to be a simple answer to this... def logout reset_session flash[:notice] = "Logged out" redirect_to :action => ''index'' end The flash never shows up, and doesn''t seem to be in the new session. --Al Evans -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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 =

Hi, I am logging users in and keeping them in session. The problem I am having is showing only a certain logged in user''s information. In the Adverts_Controler: def show @advert = Advert.find(params[:id]) end I am also having issues with saving an advert for an user: def create @advert = Advert.new(params[:advert]) if @advert.save flash[:notice] = ''Advert

When I''m executing cucumber tests, I noticed that sometimes rails app (in test env.) getting several the same requests (GET or POST) usually around 3, and it doesn''t render anything with empty HTTP status code. Have anyone met something similar to that issue? here is some example of log file: Started POST "/account" for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-11-30 22:34:17 +0200
