Hi all, I''ve put new code into my app so that an administrator will have extra privileges (administer users, edit pages). The error is: ''Couldn''t find User without an ID'' So the app is looking for a logged in user when the homepage is accessed. Heres my code: site/index view: <% if is_logged_in? and logged_in_user.has_role?(''Moderator'')

Hello, I'd like to transpose data to create an analysis-friendly dataframe. See below for an example, I was unable to use t(x) and I couldn't find a function with options like PROC TRANSPOSE in SAS. The ideal solution handles variable quantities of SITE - but beggars can't be choosers. :-) Thank you in advance, Mike ## INPUT DATA USER_ID<-c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4) SITE

Greetings, This, I hope, is a simply answered question. Based on Agile Web Development with Rails (depot application), I''m developing a single table application for contact info. There is only an admin side to this, so there''s always authentication. Part of the info record (member) is changed_by and changed_at which I automatically want updated. Changed_at looks after

My application needs to know if a user is an administrator, for security and aesthetic reasons. At the moment, I store true/false in the session by doing the following at login: session[:user_is_admin] = authenticated_user.is_admin? Is this OK to do? Or should I really be doing the following every time: User.find(session[:user_id]).is_admin? (user_id is always in the session too) Is there

I have a table called ''users''. I have a second table called ''comments''. The comments table is in need of _two_ columns that both reference different user ids within the ''users'' table (one column for the user id that originated the post, another column for the user id for which the message is intended for. Obviously I can''t create

Hi! I''m converting my Rails 3.1 app from cookie sessions to database sessions. I''ve added an extra column on the sessions table to save the user_id. I read the documentation in http://apidock.com/rails/v3.1.0/ActiveRecord/SessionStore and googled but can''t seem to find a way to set the session''s user_id that works. Can someone help? Thanks -- Posted via

I have a few forms that adds information to a database, and one of the fields is "user_id" This field relates the stored information (in this case a "route") with the user who entered it. I have a few questions. First, is the controller the best place to set the user_id? Right now I am using, @route = Route.new @route.user_id = session[:user].id @route.save Should this

I''m trying to query one table to ultimately display the relate info from another table. I have 2 tables: "posts" and "numbers". I''m trying to do a query like this: @numbers = Number.find(:all, :conditions => [ ''(user_id) = :id'', {:id =>

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:

Clearly I have the session and can see that session[:user_id] = 7 Now I want to use the results of this...in a page...so I am trying to use the instance variable @sess_user and at the top of the application controller, I have either... @sess_user = User.find([:first, "id = ?", session[:user_id]) or @sess_user = User.find([:first, "id = ?", session[:user_id]) gives me an

Hi *, In an attempt to go back to the drawing board and learn RoR some more - I have built the depot application from the agile book. After finishing I tried to create a user for the admin section, however when ever I go to: http://localhost:3000/login/add_user It redirects to the login action, I don''t see the [add user] submit button?? I am sure this is connected to the

Hiall, I would be very interested in your opinions on the ModelSecurity plugin by Bruce Perens. http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ModelSecurity/Tutorial.html Some time ago, I read on a few pages that it is the way to go, on this list however, I didn''t read much about it. Apart from it''s security level, quoted from comments in source code: # FIX: At the moment we only support

I''ve upgraded to mySQL 5.0, and it''s gone pretty smoothly except that on DateTime.now doesn''t seem to return a value that mySQL likes any more, as seen in the following exception: Incorrect datetime value: ''2005-11-20T15:33:12-0800'' for column ''logged_at'' at row 1: UPDATE notes SET `due_on` = ''2005-11-20'',
