similar to: Should I be extending UserEngine for User Preferences?

[Cross Posted in Rails Engines] I''m taking a new approach to how I view user data, I think in the end it will be faster for the system anyways... What I''m doing is using LoginEngine/UserEngine combo on my site for authorization, and I want each user to have a profile that they edit and maintain. Each user would have 1 profile. My question is getting my profile and my user

I''m using Rails 1.1.x and it looks like the check_box form helper expects me to provide and object and method so it can determine if the checkbox should be checked or not. I''m having a couple of issues with this. note: I''m using UserEngine and adding a HABTM so that: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :foos end class foo <

I suspect there''s an easier version of this question that I could ask, but I''m not sure where I''m going wrong. I have LoginEngine and UserEngine setup and seemingly running fine. However, not all of my controllers are being found when I run "rake sync_permissions". Specifically, it''s the controllers that are not in the base controllers folder, but

I''m trying to setup loginengine/userengine for my site, and I''ve added one extra field to the ''user'' table, which is supposed to store the filename of the user''s picture. Now, I have upload_progress/file_column working on other parts of my site, but when I try to submit a multipart from within user/edit controller I get the following error message

I''m using LoginEngine + UserEngine for web application. 1. I have some controllers under and admin subdirectory (Admin::PostController etc). The auto-fill permission in UserEngine does not work correctly with those controllers. Right at the moment this is not a problem, since I kind like having the Admin section separated and available only for god users. However, I could use

I didn''t find exactly an answer on this one, so I''d like to get a clarification from folks who live & breathe HABTM. class foo has_and_belongs_to_many :bars end class bar has_and_belongs_to_many :foos end (and yes, I have a bars_foos table in my db) def test_habtm bar = Bar.new foo = Foo.new foo.bars<<bar assert !foo.bars.empty? assert

Hi, I''m trying to get the UserEngine running. I have installed the LoginEngine, added the essential lines to environment.rb / application.rb and application_helper.rb. Worked fine. Then I did the same with the UserEngine and when trying to set up the db: rake engine_migrate ENGINE=user I get: Migrating engine ''user_engine'' rake aborted! stack level too deep But...

Good day all. I have successfully installed Engines and LoginEngine and LE is setup and running correctly. However, after installing and setting up UE, when attempting to run the rake bootstrap method I get the following error: undefined method `synchronize_with_controllers'' for Permission:Class My environment is Rails 1.0.0 Ruby 1.8.2 WinXP WebBRICK MySQL 4.1.14 I found the following

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hello all, I hope someone can help me with this issue, I have the SVN file_column and using LoginEngine/UserEngine with Rails 1.1.2. My issue is that I''m overloading the view for LoginEngine to support a file image upload as part of the user record and having a heck of a time doing so. Near the bottom of my new _edit.rhtml

Hi! I was trying to cleanup my app and I runned into quite a problem. My controllers in submodule do not seem to inherit things from base class. I have following setup: app/controllers/ application.rb: class ApplicationController admin/ admin_controller.rb: class Admin::AdminController < ApplicationController include LoginEngine include UserEngine

I''m trying to add / extend the default UserEngine schema (Guest/User/Admin) to support author only Update/Delete functions. At the moment, I allow ''Guest'' to read/view all records, and User additionaly has access to create/edit/destroy, however this means that any registered user is able to modify any record. My first thought was to add another filter in the chain

Hi all I''m coding a project that needs a lot of authentication stuff... e.g. I write sort of a profile area, where users can create their different profiles. So I need to check if a user has the right to browse the profiles, if he has the right to change them all (as an admin) or the ones that belong to him etc. etc. This needs quite some logic... Now I wonder whether to use the

Hi all, My unit tests and functional tests are failing because my tests aren''t authenticated. I''m using using user engine and login engine. How can I fake authentication to make my tests work properly. Thanks, Jason Edgecombe

I was trying to be all DRY and standardize my layouts to one file and made an application.rhtml. There was no application.rhtml at all before. So I renamed all my controller layouts to .txt and then tested. I got empty pages. I found some issues with Login/UserEngine and application.rhtml, but nothing that looked like this behavior. Is routing messing me up? It''s as if

Hi there, I''ve just installed login_engine and user_engine from the repositories, followed the setup procedures as documented in: vendor/plugins/user_engine/README But I''m getting the following failure: vince@vaio:~/Projects/Booking$ rake bootstrap (in /home/vince/Projects/Booking) rake aborted! undefined method `edit'' for class `UserController''

1. I have a few tables: ''users'', ''shops'', ''addresses'', and ''pictures''. 2. Users and Shops will both use the addresses and pictures tables. I have created several mapping tables: addresses_shops pictures_shops addresses_users pictures_users 3. Users CAN have many addresses and pictures (simple HABTM), but... 4.

Hi, I''m playing around with the UserEngine for limiting access to my app and I like what I see so far. One question, however, I''d like to be able to set it up so that any user navigating to the site is automatically set as "anonymous" or some such access level with minimal permissions, without having to login. IOW, the login function should only be used by

Hi ! I was going to write a test that asserts that my home page controller''s index action is available for guests: class RootControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_guest_access_granted_to_home_page get :index assert_response :success end end Obviously, this test fails. If I change the dev DB, I can test in the browser, and it works fine. But, the test DB does

I have one table, called "people". Within this table, there are type "users", "managers".... etc. So, basic STI. Now, I want a "user" to have one manager, but a "manager" to have many "users". Since I don''t want to use HABTM... how do I set this relationship up seeing that :has_one, :belongs_to and :has_many don''t

I found this link the other day, re: how to stub out Net::HTTP::get and just about flipped it was so cool: http://habtm.com/articles/2006/01/12/mocking-net-http-get. This is exactly what I needed and allowed me to right even more happy model tests. I made an http.rb in my test/mocks/test directory and added the suggested require line in my model_test.rb file. Now, he didn''t give
