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 =

This is pretty simple, but I must be missing the obvious. I''ve got a table that''s similar to this: USERS: - id int - username varchar(64) - password varchar(64) - role_id int ROLES: - id int - description varchar(16) I''ve had no troubles doing has_many relationships at all. But I want to map the user.role directly to the role model automatically (which sounds

Hi there, I have a quite stupid problem with my testing environment. I''m trying to test my controllers but every controller with a login rewuirement will fail (because there is no logged in user in the session). I realized the conceptual problem behind this, but I''m not able to solve it. What I have done so far: * Login in the test class as described in the Agile Rails Book.

I’m launching a rails website, the app is written and works, undoubtedly it’ll be an unmitigated disaster when I launch but none the less I thought I’d least attempt to give myself the best chance of success by asking all the gurus here for some advice – pre launch advice if you like. In an ideal world I’d spend days and hours on all of these things and get it absolutely spot on, but as we all

Hello, I added the "before_filter" to my controllers to require a login of the user. Here''s an example of my Unit Controller with the added before_filter: IN THE ATTACHED FILE When executing the tests with rake test, I get different error messages.

I have a two tables in my DB: users and products and I tried to set up a foreign key relationship between the id field in user and a user_id field in product. Despite redoing my scaffold the user_id does not show up when I go to create a new user. Is that normal? More importantly, how can I save the user id of the logged in user to the user_id field in my product table? Currently my create

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:

Hi, I just have a "best practices" question. I''d like to block users that don''t own a particular resource from performing edit/update/ destroy actions on it.
