similar to: authorization framework?

Hi all, I have a question about this method in my User model: # Returns true for the (saved) user called "admin" def is_the_administrator true if save and name == "admin" end The method returns true if the user''s name is admin. However, I only want to return true if the state of the object is "saved", so I call the save method first. I''m

hi guys, has anyone here implemented role based authorization from rails recipes into acts_as_authenticated ? how''s it going? Case: there is ONE admin. And MANY users. Admin is the only one who can create, edit, delete user, etc.. users also need to login, but go to different pages. do you guys think it''s good to try rick''s acts_as_authenticated + chad''s

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

Hi I have just released the 0.3 revision of ActiveRecord - make sure to get the fresh, hot packages from https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/releases What is ActiveRBAC? ------------------- ActiveRBAC is a Ruby on Rails library that provides a full stack RBAC (Role Based Authorization) system with user, group, role and permission management. It provides models and controllers to edit

I''ve successfully gotten acts_as_authenticated working. Currently the before_filter line for my admin screen is like this: class AdminController < ApplicationController include AuthenticatedSystem before_filter :login_required Only issue I have now is that anyone logged in can access that screen. I''d like to differentiate between a regular user and

I''ve been playing around with some easier ways of specifying conditions in active record, and have come up with a little plugin that some may find useful. Currently active record finder and calculations methods can take a :conditions option with a string or array listing some sql conditions, eg: Animals.find :first, :conditions => "name = ''Tiger''" My

I have been looking at the LoginGenerator gem. Looks great and can be easily modified. However in my app I have two places where people can login, one is for in my case "employees" the other is for "users". They are seperate tables in my database and have many different fields. I have an admin area located at ./sysadmin/ where only "employees" can login, they

i found Ezra''s acl_system plugin yesterday and i am trying to figure it out. based on the simple instructions on the site, it does exactly what i need but i''m getting some errors when i try to use it: NoMethodError in UsersController#index You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occured while evaluating nil.roles i am pretty new to rails and

So, I hear that with_scope is going to be deprecated. Which is a bit of a shame, given the stuff I''ve been writing recently. I have a CMS with multiple clients. A ''client'' is essentially a company, with multiple users. Content on the site belongs to a client - content could be messages, images, schedules, etc etc. People belonging to one client should not be able

I have Acts_As_Taggable Plugin working. I have a HR controller and a sales controller. I have a document in hr tagged whitepaper and a differnent document in sales tagged whitepaper when I am in hr I see the hr document tagged with whitepaper and not the sale document (what I want). but if I click on the tag whitepaper I return two documents, hr and sales. I just want to return the hr document

Does anyone have a sense for how painful the 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade is going to be for existing apps? I''m finishing up my first real RoR application with Rails 1.0. I can live with it staying at that level, but I really want to use the has_many :through attribute to clean up some of my code. I''m not particularly interested in edge Rails, mainly because the documentation for

I have the following code: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :requests do def find_active(options = {}) with_scope :find => { :conditions => ["requests.active = ?", true] } do find(:all, options) end end end end Executing user.requests.find_active results in the following SQL: SELECT * FROM requests WHERE (( requests.user_id = 10 ) AND (

Hi, It seems that setting a with_scope on the parent class doesn''t do anything MyClass.with_scope(:find=>{:conditions=> ["somecol = ?", ''val'']}) do @ext_pages, @ext_rows = paginate :my_extended_class, { :per_page => 13 } end # this doesn''t generate WHERE somecol=''val'' In order for scope to work you have to call

Don''t know if anyone else has experienced this but I''m having a problem with the access_denied method in Ezra''s ACL access control plugin. It''s working fine (in conjunction with acts_as_authenticated) until it comes across a user it denies access to, in which case it throws the following error: NoMethodError in Admin#index protected method

is there a way to always eagerly load an associated object so that you don''t have to put :include into every finder? class Product <ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user #always load user when product is loaded end Product.find(1).user.login #1 query since user was loaded with the product, same as if i used :include but I don''t want to have to specify it everywhere.

Hi all ! Is this supposed to work ? class Email < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :to, :class_name => 'Recipient', :conditions => "recipients.source = 'to'" do def create!(*args) with_scope(:create => {:source => 'to'}) do super end end def build(*args) with_scope(:create => {:source => 'to'}) do

If with_scope has been called previously, how do I access the find conditions dynamically? I am asking because I am using a find_by_sql call (which clobbers the with_scope). How can I access the method scoping so that I can read it and incorporate it into my query manually? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

I''ve been googling around trying to find some tips on creating tests for plugins. Am I correct in assuming that I''d have to have the tests as part of a rails app in order to test the plugin? I''d like to find a way to do standalone tests for the plugin. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

There are areas of my application that "want" to use a url structure like domain/<human_readable_param>/<Module>/<Controller>/<Action>/<Id> Please note that the human readable parameter I need to inject is NOT related to the <id> being used by the action/controller pair. It''s identifying a container object whose contains are operated
