similar to: Strange Problem with ActionController (I think)

Hi, Suppose I have a resource such as http://localhost:3000/topsecret/data that requires the user to login first. What I did was make use of before_filter to check and see if the session variable is set with the logged in user''s id (similar to the example in "Agile Web Development with Rails"). However while the filtering function does work correctly in redirecting the

i start the server but it exits right away, I ran the rake to update and changed the version string in config.rb. Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. i imagine that it has something to do with the session, but i am not able to figure it out. my config/config.rb has the following config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => ''c3_rails_session'',

Hello, I''m working through the tutorial, and I''ve run into a little snag. In the first part of the tutorial, the destroy link is not working correctly. I can''t figure out where I goofed.

Hi Everyone, I''m trying to formulate my thoughts on how views work in RoR and I understand the basic bits - 1. Every controller has its own view defined using rhtml files in the views/[controller_name] folder. 2. There is one "view" file (rhtml) for every in the controller and has the same name as the method. 3. For portions that are common, partials can be used - file

Hi, I''m trying to follow the "AWDR" example of storing certain types of numbers (in my case, percentages not money) as integers in the database. I understand from the Depot application how to format the output to have 2 places (or n places for that matter) decimal. Now, I"m wondering about the input. It''s more natural for people to enter numbers as

I am writting a web service for authenitcation of users and was using web_service_scaffold :invoke for testing it out...and was able to consume it using .NET. But my question is, whats the simplest method using which i can use the same web service in the current Web App. I mean, not from an external application or something but from the current web apps itself.

I am trying to setup a model class that I want to inherit from ActveRecord when in the test mode, and not inherit when in production and/or development mode. The reason for this is so that I can use fixtures to test that the logic in the model is working correctly, but I don''t want the database table around during production (and normal development). I would like to do this the

Hey, I have users entering URLs into my app, is there anyway in which I can check to see if the URLs actually point to something before saving the user input? Maybe a kind of ''ping''-action that returns true on success? (btw: does anyone of a tentative release date for Rails1.1? I''ve been slobbering all over my RailsRecipes book and I can''t wait! Also, Scott

I have a User class with a field called admin which is a boolean that determines if the user is or is not an administrator. I want to make it impossible for the last administrator for an account to be removed from the system. I need to protect against this both when deleting a user and when editing a user as you can revoke a user''s administrator privileges via a form. User

Is there a difference in the way that params[] and @params[] are handled? Is the ''handling'' done by Ruby or Rails? A pointer to the relevant documentation would be sincerely appreciated. Or just an answer would be ok too ;-) Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi! I want to add a function with a static paramter ("2" in the example) to a filter, but somehow Rails seems to be looking for another syntax. before_filter :check_quantity(2), :only => [:show] doesn''t work.

i am trying to create a system so that different users have different priviliges on my application. i was going to modify my authorize function so that i could pass the required role to it and have it check the current user for that role. i am using before_filter and would like to have just one function instead of writing one for each role like so: authorize(role) instead of:

Hello list, I have an app that has a very simple authorization scheme. A person can have many roles and roles can have many people. In my app, I''d like to do before_filter :login_required (since no role name is provided, it accepts any users with credentials) before_filter :login_required ("administrator") (only accepts those with role administrator) before_filter
