similar to: Accessing the name of a controller''s module?

Didn''t think I''d be back so quick with another question but here goes: In this recipe for the signin or login (as I call it) there are these two lines if the user authenticates correctly: session[:user] = user.id redirect_to :action => session[:intended_action], :controller => session[:intended_controller] So I''m not seeing anything in the way of an explanation

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],

I am building an application that requires a C++ program to access the Rails web application using POST. Now, I just added user authentication to the mix and it has made things more interesting. I''m using basic authentication as shown in the AWDWR and Rails Recipes books. I can now get my C++ program to submit the user credentials to the login/login page. All I want the login page

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] =

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

Hello, I am currently working on implementing some authentification code onto Instiki (0.11.0). I am encountering a problem in this situation : When I try to access say http:/localhost:2500/orz/show/Test , where orz is an instiki web name, I am redirected to my signin form screen (which is what I want) but then upon signing in I get the following message: No url can be generated for the hash

I''ve got a User model, which holds the following (excerpt): def try_to_authenticate User.authenticate(self.username, self.password) end .. private def self.hash_password(password) Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(password) end def self.authenticate(username, password) @user = User.find(:all, :conditions => ["username = ?

Is there information on how I can define custom paths/actions other than these: /users/new GET new /users/id;edit GET edit so for example I can have my own: /users/log_in GET log_in /users/id;process_log_in GET process_log_in So far I cannot find any documentations on these at all. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a few pages where a user may do something (add tags, login, etc) and I would like to redirect them back to the last page they were at before calling that action. Is there an easy way to do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

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

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

Hi. Assume you have an array of person names. I want to generate results in my view that look like this: Abby is your friend or Abby, Bob, and Carol are your friends. So I''d like to say: <%= friends.to_sentence %> <%= pluralize(friends.count, "is") %> your <%= pluralize(friends.count, "friend") %> But because pluralize puts in the

I just got back from RailsConf, and upgraded on of my development apps to 2.1, and now autotest is going into an infinite loop. It runs tests continuously instead of waiting for files to be saved before rerunning. Has anybody else seen this, or know how to get around it? Thanks, Andrew

All (and kevin), After flying high for a while on Rails things, I''m down to the nitty gritty of Ruby stuff. Messing with vars and printing them out on a web page. I found the controller_path in the API docs; However when putting this in a controller: @test1 = controller_class_name @test2 = controller_name @test3 = controller_path And this in a partial: Test1 <%= @test1
