Hello again, It''s possible to use before_filter in the application_controller, and exclude for some methods from other controllers ? i have a before_filter in application_controller that checks if the user is logged, if the time hasn''t expired, ... and I want to exclude some methods of this check, like the login. This ''login'' belongs to other controller. I

hi, In login_controller.rb when I do the fallowing code it works fine before_filter :authorize, :except => :login but I want to do the fallowing when creating the user so the authorization is not checked before_filter :authorize, :except => :login, :except => :create_user but when I do this webrick server appear to be slow or not connected and take lot of time to load? Could someone

Hi all, I''m curious as to how you do functional testing on the controllers if, within the ApplicationController, I have a before_filter :authorize, :except => :login, where the private authorize method checks for session[:user]. I can''t do "post :login", because that method is in a different controller. I tried setting session[:user] directly in the setup

This is my environment.rb # Load the rails application require File.expand_path(''../application'', __FILE__) # Initialize the rails application Qstack::Application.initialize! require ''koala'' This is my application_controller.rb class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base # protect_from_forgery before_filter :parse_facebook_cookies def

I was thinking about having instance variable stored and fetched from session container automatically before calling an action and after the action is finished. Using methodology of accessors it would look like: class MyController < ActionController::Base persistent_attr :person def alfa person = ''John Smith'' # render as usual view alfa.rhtml with anchor

I suspect this is something I should know already but I can''t seem to get it right, how can I create application wide variables and have them accessible to all my controllers? I tried creating a plugin and having my controller require a specific method from that plugin to access its variables but that didn''t work, so I am left scratching my head. eg from plugin

I''d like to display a banner on every page. Ultimately I''ll be tweaking which banner is displayed via different controllers but initially I''d just like to set a single banner application wide and display it in my "_header", a partial I include in all layouts. I''ve got a BannerAdvert model, simple. If I''m in my welcome controller index action

Can I set an application wide instance variable that is available for all actions...and their views? eg. class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base @current_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end and everywhere I can call @current_user.id and I can get that object? Even down in the views? I could not get this to work... Thanks in advance, Jeff -------------- next part

I''ve got a question about how variables are made available to templates. We have a test that looks something like this: def test_variable_assigned xhr :get, :do_stuff, :id => 1 assert_not_nil assigns(:thing) end And our app code looks like this: class SuperClass < ActionController def do_stuff @parent_model = ParentModel.find(params[:id]) render :template

I have a login section that is part of my view from my sign_up controller. Validating my user happens through a login_controller. Now if validation is good it is ok because I have a redirect in my login_controller. But if the login is not successful I have to go back to my view from my sign_up controller. Using redirect makes no sense because my @user_login object is lost and so are

Is it possible to have more than one kind of view for a specific action, for example an .rhtml and a .rjs file to handle the view for the same action? I suspect not, but this makes me wonder if there a way to call the .rjs file from within the .rhtml so the statements within it get executed? Thanks, Andy

Hey all, I''m trying to do something sorta simple... There are three button ids: ''view'', ''build'', ''search'' My controller looks like this: class RandomController < ApplicationController before_filter :login_required, :except => [:index, :initialize] def initialize @mode = ''view'' end def index

Is there a way to add onsubmit functionality to a form_remote_tag with an additional javascript directive? eg I''d like for an inline javascript to make the form''s div container hidden as soon as the button is pressed to avoid having it possibly get pressed again ( sometimes the rails response is slow enough for a user to think they need to re-press it ). example: <div

I want to overload the = operator for one of the attributes in a model to run a filter on the input. However I can''t do this: def attribute=(data) self.attribute = filter(data) end because that creates an infinite recursive loop. How do I get around this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

There''s probably a simple answer to this simple problem, but I am trying to figure out how to reference an instance variable within a layout. In the controller, one method corresponds to a view of the same name. Those instance variables in the method can be used in the corresponding view. However, I want my instance variable to be accessible throughout all my views, not just one,

Hi, I am having the following issue with a partial. During initial page load, I am doing a "render_partial_collect ''foo'', @foos", and all goes well. Each foo partial makes use of a variable inside called ''foo'' (and can get foo.id etc). After all the partials are loaded, I need to :update a div corresponding to one of the partials (ie re-load the

Hi there.

I need to check if a parameter is set so that I can build some information for my application, but No matter how I format my if statement in the file " Application.rb" it return the following error.

Hey, I am trying to upgrade to 1.1.5 and rails no longer finds my controllers the live outside app/controllers.
